Vegas-only Glam: From Elvis to Sinatra to James Bond
Still the King: Elvis Weddings
Las Vegas is the undisputed home of Elvis-themed ceremonies, thank-you-very-much. The Elvis Tribute package at A Little White Chapel includes two songs from “The King,” and newlyweds can also take photos in a classic pink Cadillac, similar to Presley’s iconic vehicle. Many celebrities have married here, including Joan Collins, Michael Jordan, Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, and more recently, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez (they also took pics in the pink caddy). Another feature at this downtown chapel is the Tunnel of Love, where you can get married in your own car. This distinctive drive-thru experience includes a romantic ceiling with cherubs, and sparkling starlights.
The Las Vegas Elvis Wedding Chapel offers Elvis-officiated weddings and vow renewals that will leave you “all shook up.” Along with performing a song or two, Elvis ministers will pose for pictures and even file your marriage certificate if you choose. For someone who wants the experience without the commitment, you can even have a pretend wedding at the chapel.
Also downtown, the Elvis Chapel offers a variety of themed weddings featuring the king of rock ’n’ roll, from elegant to vibrant ceremonies that are perfect for your “hunka-hunka burning love.” Vow renewals and commitment packages are available, as well as more traditional nuptial packages. You can add a Facebook livestream to your package for friends or family who can’t join you in person.
The oldest wedding facility in Las Vegas, Graceland Wedding Chapel opened in 1939 and has been offering iconic Elvis-themed ceremonies for nearly 50 years. Here, you can have Elvis escort the bride down the aisle if you desire, and you can choose from several specific Elvis-themed nuptials such as the “Blue Hawaii” package, which includes three songs, silk leis, digital videos, round-trip limousine service and more.
The Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel features 10 different Elvis experiences, including the “Hound Dog” ceremony that includes a stuffed hound dog keepsake; and the “Elvis in Concert” package where Elvis will sing a ballad as the bride comes down the aisle, two more iconic tunes as you exchange vows and one more rockin’ song as you’re dancing in the aisle as a newly married couple.
The King will be awaiting your arrival when you book the “Can’t Help Falling in Love” package at Special Memory Wedding Chapel, and Elvis or Mini-Elvis can officiate your wedding at Paradise Wedding Chapel.
