Have you
ever thought of getting married in Las Vegas?
I am sure everyone has, since it is 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 local attractions.
Several free standing chapels have changed their philosophy about just
being a numbers 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. In the past, it was smaller
groups and a lot of couples. There is still a great percentage of
just the bride and groom, although when they inform their family and
friends they are going to Vegas, everyone jumps on the bandwagon for the
event.
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 Vegas also has created the perfect place for the last night of 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 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 have shared the most important day in your life and are
having a vacation; all at a fraction of the cost of that other
destination.
Please feel free to contact me if I can assist you with your Vegas
Wedding plan!!!!
