The Best Places To Get Married In Las Vegas.

Just a word or two about why Las Vegas has so many marriages. Last year over 100,000 people got married in Las Vegas, more than any other city in the world. Unlike other places, there is no blood test or waiting period.

The laws of Clark County, Nevada, where Las Vegas is located make it simple, easy, fun, inexpensive and even romantic to marry. Las Vegas is also one of the best places for a honeymoon.

Both the Bride and the Groom must appear at the Marriage License Bureau which is open from 8am to 10pm. After paying a small fee (credit cards are accepted), they are given a license useable for 30 days. From there it is on to the wedding chapel for an almost instant marriage. There are hundreds of places to get married in Las Vegas. The places we have chosen are a cross-section of low price and good value locations, middle of the road moderately priced locations, and beautiful high end chapels and hotel venues.

Here is a wedding chapel that Hollywood producers and directors have seen fit to feature in their films.

There has also been a string of celebrities married there from Kelly Ripa to Bobby Unser.

The chapel is located on the famous Las Vegas Strip. Arriving guests pass through a lush garden on their way into the chapel. The chapel is well maintained. It is friendly to all religions and the service is by a non-denominational minister.

They do offer a unique Skype service so family and friends unable to be there can virtually attend the wedding. Skype, for those who are not acquainted with it, is a service that allows a person at home to see and hear on their computer screen what is happening at the chapel. The people watching at home with skype also have the ability to speak to the wedding party.

Phone: (702) 385-5683

Here is probably one of the least expensive, most reasonably priced wedding chapel you are going to find in Las Vegas and it has a very interesting history. The chapel was originally built back in 1954 as a night club for the mob. Celebrities such as Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Marilyn Monroe, Louis Armstrong, Count Basie and Nat King Cole could often be seen there.

Many Hollywood stars and performers in Las Vegas shows would stop by just to be noticed and hang out with the mob. Finally in the year 2000 this club was converted into a wedding chapel. Some say, “The ghost of its glorious past can still be felt there.”

The chapel offers numerous wedding packages ranging from the least expensive one in all of Las Vegas to a more moderately priced package which has an Elvis impersonator walk the bride down the aisle and then sing 3 songs at the wedding. There is a tux and bridal gown rental service at the chapel should you have the need.

You can even have a pretend wedding. Pretend weddings are done like real ones, but without any of the legal paperwork. Of course, they are just for fun, but can show your commitment to someone, or maybe even your pet…

Wynn offers a choice of many different ceremonial wedding packages. Included in some of the packages is a limousine picking you up at the airport, going to the Court House for a marriage license, followed by preferential check-in at the hotel. An advantage to using a ceremonial package is that it saves money and provides extra touches for the wedding.

Details of each of the Wynn wedding packages can be found on their website.

The chapels reflect the beauty of ancient Venice. Their dark wood and muted colors speak an old world elegance not often found.

Because it is a hotel and not just a small wedding chapel, they have provisions for wedding rehearsal dinners as well as bachelor and bachelorette parties. The hotel of course has the ability to provide blocks of rooms for the wedding party.

The beautiful bridge found at the Venetian’s St Mark Square is another site that can be used for a wedding. The hotel has a special white gondola that is used only for marriages. Imagine being serenaded while taking your vows aboard the gondola!
