| - **Going to the chapel, and we're gonnnaaa get maaarried!**
Intimate. Cute. Fast. All good words to describe the Little Vegas Chapel.
Oh, and fake.
You can have FAKE weddings here. I repeat. You can have fake weddings here. Some people feel like a gag wedding ruins the sanctity of marriage. Our friend group used it as an elaborate April Fools joke. (To each their own.)
Our fake ceremony was exactly like a real wedding, but the pastor didn't say husband and wife. Instead he said, partners for life. (And there was no marriage certificate.)
Our wonderful experience:
When you walk in, the front desk immediately helps you. Make sure you reserve your time slot ahead of time, though. They want attendees to arrive 15 minutes early, but they were incredibly gracious when we arrived right on time.
The service was quick. Around 10-15 minutes. The pastor made it fun before, during, and after the I-dos. Such a lively guy. He was incredibly helpful with ceremony details. He even recommended more laid back casinos to try.
Be aware that the chapel makes you bring a $60 tip for him.
There's also a photographer who takes professional pictures during and after the ceremony. The newlyweds got around 300 photos, but a lot of them were repeat shots. Don't order the full photo package.
5 photos are included in the $200 wedding fee. The whole package with photo and video is around $80.
PRO TIP: this is the only Vegas chapel where guests can take their own photos. Only rule: you must stay seated. One guest busted a glass table trying to get the perfect shot. Other than that live stream the wedding from your smart phone.
My fav part? Free waters for all of us. And they let us chill before bracing the 110° heat.
Overall, if you have a couple hundred bucks to drop, this place is a 5 star experience.
