A Hollywood Wedding Chapel

My husband and I got married here for right around $ 300, to include the video of the ceremony and the cd with all the pictures that the lady took. We went to Vegas with the plan to get married. Found the Chapel in a phone book from the hotel we stayed at. The woman on the phone was so nice and explained all the packages and was much more informative than several of the other calls I had made. We got our marriage license around midnight the night before. Showed up the next afternoon for our wedding. To my dismay, this was at the end of a little motel and from the outside was not so appealing, BUT they did everything that was told to us on the phone, quick chapel wedding, pictures, video (by surveillance… lol). All in all, a good experience. Don’t be fooled by the outside! We even got a picture by their fake wedding cake and I got to use my choice of bouquet’s to walk the aisle with. 7 years later, still happily married, so there are still some decent Vegas marriages out there!

Great place! Cheap and friendly:-) This chapel catered to our every desire.
They also have an amazing Elvis minister who performed our ceremony.

My husband and I got hitched here May 2, 2008. $ 99 wedding, you can’t go wrong! I think the total was around $ 300 once we added on the photos and the video of the ceremony, which was a hilarious 3 minute affair! The couple working were super sweet, silly and helpful all rolled into one fast paced ball! Their limo picked us up at our hotel, drove us around (traffic was the pits that day) long enough to finish our bevies. We had so much fun that we are contemplating going back for our five year anniversary and having a renewal ceremony.

SITREP
Part of our Seattle crew stopped by here for a gander while we were hitting the Unilocal Spring Break Events. What a hoot! They have a great reasonable slate of prices almost as looks like a menu with the $ COST increasing component by component, depending on how «fancy-​schmancy» you want to go.
I figure that me & J-​LO could get hitched for just under $ 300 here. Wait wait, make that $ 500 because I’m sure she’d want to take up extra room time singing to me. «Go for it, My Juicy Mama.» ;^D
SETUP
Now I am NO STRANGER to these kinds of hitching posts, because — to be quite honest — I got MARRIED at the «Hitching Post» in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho (that married was anulled, with no real damage to myself). I also got married in a BIG LUTHERAN CHURCH in Sacramento (I got divorced with GREAT DAMAGE to myself).
I think the lesson I learned between those two previous «walking down the aisle» experiences, that if I EVER find myself (foolishly) looking at getting married again, and that in looking at the expense, the time, the resources, the emotional intensity, the involvement & instrusion from the Bride’s family (THE EMOTIONAL INTENSITY!), etc. etc., why go the EXPENSIVE ROUTE? COME HERE. Save the money for the HONEYMOON where you will want it and need it! [Why waste it on guests you won’t see for another 10 – 40 years IF EVER!]
REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY & PREFERRED VENUE OF CHOICE
So now having gone into 2 marriages with the attitude that they were like FOREVER STAMPS, I’m more inclined to accept the reality that marriage these days, especially for older individuals in the 40s, 50s, etc., is hoping for a pairing for sex & tax purposes for a particular period of time (5, 10, maybe 15 years if you are lucky). If I go INTO the marriage without any grandiose expectations, I hell as won’t be disappoint if the *bubble* bursts.
And that being the case, and seeing so many of my friends getting married at $ 10,000, $ 25,000, and even one at $ 73,000, and then DIVORCING in under 2 – 3 years, why the HELL BOTHER with the headache of a BIG WEDDING?
I’m not saying this will be venue, but it might be. And so whevever, IF ever I find myself in the situation where I am walking down an aisle, it could be this very «aisle» (though it really doesn’t have an AISLE since it’s really teeeny tiny).
THE LOWDOWN
A helluva fun place to get hitched if you decide to. ;^D
p. s. I really like how kitchscy the place looks in the evening, and so I would prefer a night wedding (IF, I say IF) — probably make it a Unilocal event too… hmmm…

this was the first kind of «wedding» i attended in a chapel in las vegas. it did the job. the ceremony was quick, as expected. the officiant and photographer were nice, but the lady at the front desk was a little off. it is located on the north side of the strip across from the stratosphere so the outside curb appeal isn’t that appealing. the parking lot is also shared with a motel. either way, if you are looking for a chapel in vegas to get hitched, this place did the job.
