Venues to Say “I Do” This Summer in Las Vegas
Las Vegas wedding chapels and venues are aplenty, with a special space out there for every style and taste.
Looking for an intimate ceremony at a one-of-a-kind venue? Then check out the High Roller at The LINQ Hotel + Experience! This unconventional venue will take you up 550 feet in the air in a private cabin, aboard the largest observation wheel in North America, providing stunning views of the Las Vegas Strip.
For an elegant and modern indoor chapel that fits up to 60 guests, consider the Garden Chapel at Flamingo Las Vegas. After the ceremony, enjoy the surrounding gardens and cascading waterfalls. For the perfect venue for a sunset ceremony, check out WaterBleau Terrace at Fontainebleau Las Vegas, filled with lush greenery, palm trees and a refined water feature. This private garden terrace offers 25,000 square feet of open-air space, plenty for eating and dancing the night away.
If you’re planning a grandiose affair fit for a large group of attendees, a ballroom wedding at Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas is ideal. Three of the luxurious resort’s ballrooms can either be divided or combined, allowing seating for up to 480 guests — have the ceremony in one, and the reception in the other two! Amenities include automated blackout shades, on-site catering with a dedicated catering manager and other personalized services.
Offering a stunning backdrop with breathtaking views of the Strip, host at Resorts World Las Vegas’ Rose Rooftop venue, an ideal spot for a late-evening wedding and reception.
Seasonal Wedding Considerations
A summer wedding in Las Vegas offers up so many opportunities to have fun with the little details that will define your wedding — the ones your guests won’t forget.
Consider adding a pre-ceremony drink station stocked with hydrating refreshments — and maybe a few celebratory libations — to keep your guests prepped for the day’s festivities. And on the topic of beverages, if you’re able to customize your cocktail menu, consider refreshing sippers like grapefruit negronis, watermelon frosé and Aperol spritzes.
Your special day’s colors will dictate everything, from your invitations to décor, so lock them down early! Summer wedding color trends are bright and colorful — think sunrise-coded palettes, such as pink, yellow and orange. Floral, polka dots, and artwork prints and patterns are also rising in popularity.
The bouquets, focal-point arrangements and centerpieces all call for some fabulous florals. Whether you lean into the desert theme and opt for succulents, go classic with petunias and poppies, or take an exotic route with fragrant eucalypti, it’ll liven up the space and add that perfect something special.
A cool treat is the perfect summer sweet, so offer guests a unique Vegas option that’ll add to their experience. Lea Lana’s Bananas offers the perfect mix of healthy and decadent with its dessert catering cart. Your guests can craft customized, frozen banana pops by dipping them in Ghirardelli chocolate and topping them with cookie crumbles and candies — yum!
Another refreshing and cool treat option is Sorry, Not Sorry Creamery, a local business offering award-winning artisanal and unique ice cream flavors such as Ube Honeycomb and Salted Pistachio Brittle. The iconic ice cream cart features custom floral decorations and chalkboards, making for a fun photo-op!
Or opt for a tropical treat by having the Kona Ice food truck show up to your celebration and let guests enjoy shaved ice in flavors like Monster Mango and Piña Colada!
Summer Activities for Guests
If most of your guests are ready to party, send them to one of the destination’s high-energy dayclubs.
