Did you catch the bouquet at your friend’s wedding? Get down on one knee in front of your (now) fiancée’s family? However you proposed, Las Vegas offers everything you could imagine, or need, for a destination wedding. The perks are aplenty, and the options are seemingly endless, allowing you to plan your nuptials exactly how you see fit!
1. Wedding Planning Professionals Are at Your Service.
Weddings happen here every day of the year, so it’s no surprise that experts are available to help you with every little detail surrounding your special day. Whatever you want or need, Las Vegas wedding planners are available to make your dream wedding happen.
Maybe you’re staying at a resort and taking advantage of its in-house industry professionals and lucrative wedding packages. You could also be opting to plan it yourself with venues and vendors throughout the city for a true DIY celebration. Or you could be eloping, tying the knot in a simple ceremony (and fabulous vacation to follow). However you’re saying, “I do,” Vegas is here to make your big day happen exactly how you’d like it.
2. Packages Offer Easy Planning and Budget-Friendly Options.
More than 5 million weddings have taken place in Las Vegas. The destination is equipped to offer couples multiple options for their nuptials, regardless of style, size or budget.
If you’re considering a micro-wedding, taking it outdoors is a great idea. Floyd Lamb Park at Tule Springs is a beautiful preserve with several spots ideal for a small ceremony – including its charming Hay Barn and Courtyard Gazebo. Depending on what you’re planning, you might need an event permit, but saying “I do” here is going to be a (cost-efficient) breeze.
You also can hold a micro-wedding high above the Las Vegas Strip. The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas offers elopements and small ceremonies in its swanky suites overlooking the iconic boulevard. And afterwards, plan a small celebration at one of its acclaimed restaurants (or a trip to an energetic nightclub or lounge, if that’s your style).
There are also the iconic wedding chapels lining the streets of Downtown Las Vegas. Such venues offer ceremonies with limited planning involved, some with the ability to be wed by the likes of Elvis. The affordability and intimate settings are also top perks for going this route. The Little White Wedding Chapel even does drive-thru weddings in its famous Tunnel of Love.
However, you might want to go big on your special day – and Vegas is here for that! Wynn Las Vegas has several spectacular venues for ceremonies and receptions, from landscaped courtyards to stylish salons and grandiose ballrooms. The resort offers a handful of packages with everything from photography and florals to accommodations and transportation included.
You also can tie the knot at a fabulous Las Vegas landmark. Whether it’s atop the Eiffel Tower at Paris Las Vegas or in a cabin on the High Roller observation wheel at The LINQ Hotel + Experience, such venues offer packages that are going to make planning your special moment extremely easy.
3. There’s an Abundance of Things to Do for Guests.
A destination wedding in Las Vegas doubles as a fabulous vacation for your guests. There is so much to do that your friends and family will be entertained from the moment they arrive. Offering a variety of kid-friendly fun to adults-only activities, there’s no shortage of interests.
As the Sports and Entertainment Capital of the World, there’s a wide array of shows to pick from daily, be it a touring headliner performance or residency at The Colosseum inside Caesars Palace or Dolby Live at Park MGM Las Vegas, or a production such as Mystère by Cirque du Soleil at TI – Treasure Island Hotel & Casino.
And with a variety of professional sports teams, marquee sporting events and the destination being the home of UFC, the calendar is routinely packed with thrilling sports action.
If your RSVP list has a few party-hearty attendees, Las Vegas nightlife is pretty much unparalleled. Your guests can enjoy sets from top DJs at renowned nightspots like Zouk Nightclub at Resorts World Las Vegas and TAO Nightclub inside The Venetian Resort Las Vegas.
4. The Weather Is Unbeatable.
With over 320 days of sunshine, Las Vegas likely will not predict rain on your wedding day (though we do hear that it’s a sign of good luck, if so). As such, the destination has several venues to consider for an outdoor wedding ceremony or reception.
From captivating and landscaped gardens to majestic patios and lush golf courses, outdoor wedding venues in Las Vegas are easy to find, book and plan your wedding, especially as many places offer wedding packages.
If you decide to go the outdoor route, in late fall or winter, just be sure to let your guests know deserts can have a cool climate once the sun sets.
Planning a wedding in Las Vegas is effortless and a whole lot of fun. The venue is always first, so here’s an impressive selection of places to put a ring on it. Also, be sure to check out these spots to hold a welcome party. Your big day in such a unique destination like Las Vegas will be absolutely memorable.
