Which places will you visit?

Las Vegas

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas — and the adage usually rings true, except when it comes to committing to your partner under the watchful eyes of Elvis.

The entertainment capital of the world is famous for its Las Vegas Strip, uncompromising party atmosphere and a plethora of wedding chapels — making it the perfect location for an elopement.

Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon is a geological marvel and the largest canyon on the face of the earth. It averages 16 kilometers in width, just under 2 kilometers deep and a gargantuan 440 kilometers in length — and its sheer scale is best experienced with a visit to the Grand Canyon Skywalk.

Red Rock Canyon

While nowhere near the size of the Grand Canyon, Red Rock Canyon makes up for it with its natural splendor and dazzling vistas — making it the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable wedding ceremony with stunning photos.

Wedding and vow renewal packages can cost anything from US$65 to US$2750 — depending on how much you want to splurge on your big day.

A drive-up wedding or vow renewal in Las Vegas will cost around US$220 per ceremony, making it one of the most affordable — as well as convenient — ways of getting hitched in Sin City.

What is included in the wedding packages?

Many of Las Vegas’ wedding and vow renewal ceremonies are advertised as being all-inclusive packages — but you should confirm with the company what exactly this entails. Use of the chapel and bouquets are included and generally, you’ll be allowed to have a couple of guests depending on the venue.

While a pickup service is usually included, gratuity for the driver is not. The same is typically true for the photographer. You’ll also be required to pay an officiating fee and purchase a marriage license. You should expect the extra charges to be in the region of US$250.

Where do they typically start from?

The starting point for your Las Vegas wedding or vow renewal depends on the type of package you choose. Weddings taking place outside of the city limits will typically depart from your hotel, with pickup included in the price. Ceremonies in Las Vegas will usually take place at the chapel in question, but several packages also include a transfer service.

How long does the ceremony last?

A wedding or vow renewal ceremony in Las Vegas can last anything from 30 minutes to 4 or 5 hours depending on the type of package you choose. Ceremonies outside of Sin City will usually take longer because of the traveling involved.

What time of year is best for a wedding or vow renewal in Las Vegas?

The best time for a wedding or vow renewal in Las Vegas depends on personal preference as it's your big day. But if you're taking weather into account, the ideal periods would be Spring (March to May) and Fall (September to November) when the weather is mild and pleasant, and perfect for an outdoor wedding.
