Las Vegas Weddings

While some may consider it the ultimate cliché, a 'Vegas Wedding' can be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Each year, there are up to 60 000 weddings in Las Vegas, from impromptu nuptials to extravagant celebrations. Celebrity marriages have included those of Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, as well as Dennis Rodman and Carmen Electra.

Las Vegas Wedding Chapels
Wedding chapels in Las Vegas offer traditional and themed ceremonies, including Eiffel Tower, Elvis, gondola, pirate ship and helicopter weddings. The helicopter option gives couples panoramic views of the Grand Canyon or the Las Vegas Strip as they say 'I do.' Drive-thru weddings only take about 15 minutes and are available round the clock. This is an extraordinary way to experience the much anticipated, or sometimes spontaneous, 'big day'.

Las Vegas Wedding Formalities
A marriage license is required for a wedding in Las Vegas and can cost as little as US$99, but will only be issued if both parties are over the age of 18.
