Discover The Amazing Truth About Las Vegas Weddings

By Kasey Dunlap


It was in the previous century that Las Vegas weddings grew enormously in popularity. This was primarily because of how easy it was to by a licence and the fact that doing so was comparatively cheap. Nowadays Las Vegas is home to some of the most extravagant and unusual weddings available anywhere in the world, and it is possible to choose almost any style for your wedding.

To get a marriage licence is a straightforward process with fewer of the usual administrative procedures (such as prior waiting period) required elsewhere in the US. All that is required is submission of a fee and a marriage form to the marriage Bureau; identity must be confirmed by official photographic ID. The marriage licences then takes a very short time to be prepared, and are available throughout the evening as late as 12 midnight. The marriage is not officially legal until a ceremony has taken place, and this must take place no more than a year later.

Wedding services can be either religious or civil, and although there are a variety of choices as to where these can take place, the cheapest option would be at the Marriage Commission where it is possible to have an extremely simple ceremony, also known as a desk wedding.

The wedding business is hugely important to this city, and competition runs high, as over one hundred thousand couples are married there each year. Hotel and restaurant chains vie with one another by providing all the support needed for a successful wedding. Your wedding could take place virtually anywhere, from a traditional setting such as a church, to a golf club or park. Incredibly, it is even possible to get married at a drive-thru.

In terms of location, the majority of free standing chapels are clustered round the Strip and the Wedding District, principally because both are nearest to the bureau itself. These chapels offer whatever style of wedding the bride and groom desire, be it time-honoured or quirky.

Weddings based on a central, unusual theme abound in the city. Many are based on films such as Star Wars or Pirates of the Caribbean, but it could be anything from Hawaii to fantasy. Ever popular is anything to do with Elvis Presley, and this is probably one of the most common wedding services available.

Las Vegas weddings are certainly the most exciting and unusual to be found anywhere in the US, if not the world, and the fact they can be carried out so easily and cheaply means that Las Vegas will remain a popular destination for years to come both for marriages and the honeymoon after.
