12/2006: Las Vegas: 'choose your wedding venue....'
The marriage capital of the world, Las Vegas performs around 100,000 weddings each year and has been the scene of many celebrity weddings including Frank Sinatra and Mia Farrow, Elvis and Priscilla Presley, Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward. There are hundreds of wedding chapels ranging from the tasteful to the tacky and downright bizarre. Options include the diminutive but famous ‘Gracelands’ chapel where the ceremony is performed by an Elvis lookalike, the elegant Monte Carlo Hotel’s French-style chapel and the Star Trek-themed offering at the Hilton where the happy couple can get hitched by a Klingon on the Bridge of the Enterprise.
No blood tests, birth certificates or waiting periods are required and marriage licenses can be obtained from the the Clark County Marriage Licence Bureau, 201 Clark Ave, Las Vegas, tel 702 671 0600. The office is open 24 hours per day Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, holidays and between 8.am and midnight from Monday to Thursday. The fee for a marriage licence is $55.00. Wedding chapels have their own fees which vary from around $300 for a basic service to thousands of dollars for an all-in package including hotel room and restaurant.

I heard a lot about weddings in Las Vegas but I don't know anyone with first hand experience. Have you or someone from you family tied the knot in Las Vegas? Was it really what you expected?

I've been to Las Vegas a couple of times and still not got married - not that I remember anyway!

One of my friends went to a Las Vegas wedding ceremony. I remember her telling me about bride and groom releasing white doves at the end of their wedding ceremony, she found it very romantic!

I got married in Las Vegas November 2006. It was everything I expected and them some! It was amaxing and highly recommended!
It only took 20 mins and we had Elvis marrying us! All our family at home could watch us on the internet live.

I was married in the Little White Wedding Chapel in May 2003. It was lovely, plain and simple. We had an Elvis impersonator who was pretty terrible but fun all the same! The wedding package included limo transfers which picked us up and took us to to the court house first then onto the chapel and back to the hotel again afterwards. It was just how we wanted things.
