When you think of a city that’s the epitome of unpretentious charm, Sin City probably isn’t the first place that comes to mind. As with most things in life, though, appearances can be deceiving. The neon lights and bustling casinos may not be for everyone—but this little town with its big heart is exactly what you need if you want your wedding to feel like a fairytale come to life. Here are our tips on why Vegas is the perfect venue for your wedding.
It’s an affordable option
Getting married in Vegas is a relatively cheap affair. The average Vegas wedding costs around $15,000, excluding the cost of the venue. In comparison, weddings in the US can cost as much as $95,000. So, you’ll be able to get married while saving a small fortune. Many couples choose to get married at a local government or police station to cut costs even further. These venues are often open to the public and are often free to use.
It’s a party central
If you want your reception to be the talk of the town, Vegas is your best bet. With the right venue, you can transform a city center into a one-stop party zone. Simply choose a venue with a fabulous view and hire out the top DJs and bands in town. With a plethora of hotels and casinos to choose from, you’ll have no trouble finding the perfect party location. Of course, if you prefer to host your party at a more intimate venue, you’re in luck, as there are plenty of options, too.
It has the wow factor you want
First and foremost, Vegas is a city of dreams. And, as a venue for your wedding, it’s the perfect place to make a few of those dreams come true. With endless options for photo ops, you’ll have endless opportunities to capture your love story in all its glory. You can also choose a venue that’s been used in movies and music videos. This way, you’ll have a cinematic feel to your big day.
It has an unforgettable atmosphere
There’s no better place to create a sense of magic than in the neon-lit streets of Vegas. The best way to do this is to choose a venue with a classic atmosphere. This is especially important if you’re having your wedding outdoors. For example, you could get married on a rooftop terrace overlooking the Las Vegas skyline. Alternatively, you could have the ceremony at one end of a vast garden with a lush backdrop of ancient ruins or mountains. You could then host your reception in a ballroom with a classic chandelier or classic décor.
There are endless photo opportunities
In addition to the wow factor of your venue, there are endless photo opportunities in Vegas. With the city’s vibrant backdrop, you’ll have no trouble finding interesting shots for your wedding album. You could even replicate the city’s iconic landmarks with your photos. Alternatively, you could choose a more intimate venue with a classic décor. This way, you’ll have a distinctly vintage feel to your photos.
And it’s easy to get around
Many couples choose to get married in Vegas as it’s so easy to get around. You can easily fly into Las Vegas from anywhere in the US. You can also easily drive from other major cities, such as New York and Los Angeles. This means that, even if you chose to get married in a different city, you could still get to Vegas quickly and easily. This makes it a great option if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Bottom line
There are few cities as iconically American as Las Vegas. The city has been synonymous with the word ‘sin’ for over 50 years, making it the perfect city for a wedding. And, for many couples, it’s an especially fitting venue as it’s such a cheap affair to get married in. With so many photo opportunities, an iconic backdrop and an easy enough travel route, Vegas is the perfect wedding venue for any couple.
