| - When my fiance and I got engaged, we knew we wanted a really intimate wedding ceremony. Being Las Vegas locals, we searched for months. We knew that we wanted a destination wedding, but wanted to get married in Vegas before- we had some very important family members that could not make the trip.
The idea of getting married in a chapel just didn't do it for us.
Here are a few reasons why-
1. They are a tacky
2. They are way overpriced
3. They charge you ala carte for EVERYTHING
4. They do so many weddings that the ceremonies seem rehearsed and rushed. I've seen a 10 minute ceremony that cost $400!!
Sure, to each his own, but being that I've been to a few chapel weddings in my day, the idea just didn't seem to get better.
Then my dad found an article in the Las Vegas Review Journal about the LVWW. Reading the article, I have to admit, I was pretty apprehensive. Then I thought, if the Review Journal wrote an article about them, they have to be legit! Thinking it over for about a week, we decided to have Rev. Andy and Rev. James marry us in my parent's backyard. You pick the location. They can marry you in front of the "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign or even on the sidewalk in front of the Bellagio Fountains. Pretty cool. Better than a cheesy chapel with Elvis as your reverend, in my opinion!
In scheduling a wedding it is easy for a bride to be anxious. These two made themselves readily available for questions and made me feel at ease. They replied to all of my emails in a timely manner. Payment is only $99 and you pay via paypal to secure the date.
The day of, they came on time. They were very courteous and polite. They made us and all of our guests feel comfortable. The ceremony was lighthearted but still emotional (I had to fight my tears during the vows) and was definitely the perfect ceremony for us, as it was stress free and all of our guests enjoyed it. Lastly,
Rev. James took photos afterwards and they came out wonderful.
If you are reading this review to help you decide whether to book your wedding with the LVWW, hopefully this review has helped you decide. You won't regret it. Our wedding was so special. We will never forget it.
