For an express Las Vegas wedding, there are also "self-service ceremonies". The in-vehicle wedding in Las Vegas is the perfect idea for those couples traveling alone to Las Vegas and not bringing guests. The curious thing about this ceremony at the Special Memory Wedding Chapel is that the wedding takes place without getting out of the car, as if you were ordering hamburgers.

Although depending on how you want the photos, you can also get out of the car so that your outfits are better appreciated. In general, this is the most economical option to get married in Las Vegas.

The Ceremony

In this wedding you can decide if you want to have a private limousine to take you to the chapel and then you will take a 1 or 2 hour photo tour of Las Vegas to immortalize this special day if you choose the Supersize option or the photo tour option. Afterwards you will also be taken back to the hotel.

The actual wedding itself lasts less than 10 minutes and when it is over, after the officiant and photographer's congratulations, the photo tour begins if you have chosen it.

What to consider if you want to get married in Las Vegas

  • To get married in Las Vegas you will need to show your passport or other photo identification.
  • If you need a marriage license you can get one at the Las Vegas courthouse the day before or the day of the wedding. If you want to renew your vows because you are already married, a marriage license is not required.
  • The price quoted does not include the marriage license ($77 USD) or the driver's gratuity if you are in a limousine ($75 USD).
  • Since the reservations are for only two people, in the special requirements box you have to indicate the number of additional guests that will accompany you (the limousine transfer admits a maximum of 6 guests at no additional cost), the color of the flowers and their style (fresh or silk) and the language in which you wish to be officiated. It is normally done in English, French, Japanese, Italian, German and Spanish but other languages are subject to availability upon request.
