Perhaps the idea of having a wedding in Las Vegas is part of a larger travel plan that includes other visits and tours in and around the city during your stay. If you're short on time, this 1-hour ceremony may be the best way to fulfil your dream and stick to your planned itinerary.

The ceremony

After picking you up at your hotel in a limousine, the chauffeur will drive you to the ceremony venue, Special Memory Wedding Chapel. A maximum of 6 guests may accompany you on the transfer at no extra cost. Once you have exchanged rings you will have the opportunity to enjoy a glass of champagne to toast to your love if you choose the C package.

For an express Las Vegas wedding there are also "self-service ceremonies". The in-car wedding in Las Vegas is the perfect idea for couples who are travelling alone to Las Vegas and have no guests. The curious thing about this ceremony at the Special Memory Wedding Chapel is that the wedding takes place without getting out of the car, as if you were ordering hamburgers.

Although depending on how you want the photos, you can also get out of the car so that your outfits can be better appreciated. In general, this is the most economical way to get married in Las Vegas.

The ceremony

At this wedding you can decide if you want to have a private limousine to take you to the chapel and then take you on a 1 or 2 hour photo tour of Las Vegas to immortalise this special day if you choose the Supersize option or the photo tour option. Afterwards you will also be taken back to the hotel.

The actual wedding itself lasts less than 10 minutes and when it is over, after the officiant and photographer congratulate you, the photo tour begins if you have chosen it.

Getting married in Las Vegas dressed as Elvis and Marilyn Monroe is very original but can you imagine celebrating your wedding at the Grand Canyon, one of the 7 wonders of the natural world? A very different wedding in Las Vegas that will make your trip unforgettable - you'll even fly in a helicopter! It's like celebrating a wedding and enjoying your honeymoon at the same time. Plus, you'll have the coolest wedding album of all your friends!

The ceremony

At 8am, you'll be picked up at your Las Vegas hotel in a private limousine and taken to the wedding office before heading to the helipad where you'll take a helicopter to say 'I do' in front of the Grand Canyon. Should you wish to be accompanied on this day, you may invite two witnesses to travel with you, the photographer and the officiant.

During the flight you will fly over the Hoover Dam over Lake Meade, a man-made reservoir formed by the water collected by the dam, and arrive at this natural monument of beautiful red cliffs. The helicopter will land in the ideal setting to begin the wedding ceremony, with the backdrop of the famous Colorado River and various rock formations.

After exchanging vows and rings, you will have the opportunity to have a picnic with cake and champagne to toast with those present, as well as a photo session to remember this romantic day in the unique setting of the Grand Canyon.

At the end, you will return to Las Vegas by helicopter to start the photo tour by limousine through the streets of the city (Strip and Fremont Street) for 1 or 2 hours depending on the package you choose.

What to consider if you want to get married in Las Vegas

  • To get married in Las Vegas you will need to show your passport or other photo identification.
  • If you need a marriage licence, you can get one at the Las Vegas courthouse the day before or the day of the wedding. If you are renewing your vows because you are already married, a marriage licence is not required.
  • The price quoted does not include the marriage licence (77 USD) or the driver's gratuity if you are travelling in a limousine (75 USD).
  • As bookings are for two people only, in the special requirements box you need to indicate the number of additional guests accompanying you (the limousine transfer allows a maximum of 6 guests at no extra cost), the colour and style of flowers (fresh or silk) and the language in which you would like the ceremony to be conducted. It is normally conducted in English, French, Japanese, Italian, German and Spanish but other languages are subject to availability upon request.
