LIVING IN LAS Vegas has its perks! I am sure everyone realizes what we have right at our fingertips, since we are the wedding capital of the world. Las Vegas Chapels have been portrayed in a certain light over the last decades, and times are changing. The old fashioned photos of someone knocking on the door in the middle of the night, with the husband and wife answering in the pajamas to marry the happy couple are long gone. We are the most fun and economical place to get married!!! This town has opportunities for everyone that range from a $25.00 Drive-up Wedding Window, to skies the limits! We have anything you can image from getting married by Helicopter in the Grand Canyon, or dressed as your favorite character and married on the USS Enterprise at the Star Trek Experience.

The Las Vegas Wedding scenario has expanded from just strip chapels to chapels in the luxurious hotels, golf courses, hotel suites, themed locations, and even at local attractions. Several free-standing chapels have changed their philosophy about just being a number game and want to create a "Vegas experience" to be remembered. The Banquet and Catering departments of hotels have seen larger groups wanting their "reception" in the banquet facilities, and some of them in their local restaurants. Again, the cost on this part of the function varies from location to time of the day your event will occur.

We are seeing larger groups coming to Vegas, as in the past it was smaller groups and a lot of just couples. There is still a great percentage of just the Bride and Groom, although sometimes parties in the excess of 100. When you have a local wedding, all of your family and friends that live elsewhere jump on the bandwagon to attend this event…why wouldn't they…It's Vegas!!!!! The days of the 20,000 wedding still exists, although you can have a large group attend your wedding, have a fine dining reception with all the trimmings, DJ, flowers, photos, limos etc. for a portion of the cost. Now we also are moving up on being the place for the last night of being a single woman or man. Everyone is having Bachelorette or Bachelor parties by attending the shows that are not just for men anymore. The women can go to Chippendales or Thunder Down Under for an exotic male revue, and there are numerous Adult entertainment locations for the men. Again the cost is not prohibitive.

The best part is that you can start in Vegas with your Bachelor/Bachelorette party, and then your wedding, and the honeymoon, while all of your guests shared the most important day in your life, and are having a vacation for themselves. All at a fraction of the cost that other destination weddings cannot offer. Please feel free to contact me if I can assist you with your Vegas Wedding plan!!!!
