 | 	- Got hitched here last weekend and - I can't say enough how amazing it was. Just the right balance of fun & genuine sentiment for me & my Hubby. We're not 'Big Wedding' people and the thought of having a 40-min ceremony with tons of guests & hours of picture-taking broke us out in stress-sweat. The courthouse option seemed kind of depressing so I went to my Hubby-To-Be with the logical argument of "What?! You want a wedding with NO Elvis?!?!":-)  
 He agreed and we did some research and decided on Graceland and, of course - ELVIS!!!!
Boy, am I ever glad we did. From Jamie our limo driver (limo plays Elvis music the whole time!!! Nice touch), to Rhonda at reception, to Carlos the minister, to Michael Conti, who was/is a FABULOUS Elvis and, last but definitely not least - Abe the photographer/videographer/host extraordinaire  - They all made us feel welcome, special, unique and were super kind & enthusiastic. Carlos spent a little time with us at the start to ask some questions and then, on his own steam, very much catered his words during the ceremony to US. Yes, it was fun to be married in this environment but it was also made very sweet & romantic. I never felt I was on an 'assembly line'. :-) They have it down to a science, which makes time-wasting unnecessary but they get everything in & do it with wonderful style. Also, my interactions with Mary on the phone prior to the wedding were great - She was marvelous. 
The original DVD had a little skip in it (you get it right there & then - Awesome) and when I called to ask about getting another, Lance did it within the hour and was very pleasant about it. I mention this not as a criticism but as praise cos you can tell a lot by a business with how they handle hiccups and, like everything else involved, it was dealt with in a lovely efficient manner. Pictures were FANTASTIC and up amazingly fast - Which is nice cos that's the stuff you're excited to see & they can often take days or even weeks to receive, from what I've heard from family & friends regarding their wedding vid & pics. 
Suffice to say - What a brilliant experience this was! Painless and stress-free. My married friends are totally jealous we did it our way. After hearing so many of their horror stories, I can't say I blame them! ;-) No horrors for us - Just fun & love & Elvis.
 Can't go wrong! Viva Las Vegas & Viva Graceland Chapel!!!
