Las Vegas Wedding Cost

Typical costs:

• A bare-bones ceremony, which typically entails use of a chapel (usually away from the Strip), runs from $40 at Las Vegas Garden of Love to $75 at Always & Forever Weddings. Some will also include a small all bouquet for the bride to carry.
• Basic wedding packages run from $179 - $245, and include the chapel, officiant, recorded music, a small bouquet, boutonniere, 6-24 pictures, and a limo to/from the chapel. Basic Elvis weddings, like those offered by Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel[2] , are naturally very popular in Las Vegas. These involve an impersonator walking the bride down the aisle and performing 1-3 songs. These packages cost from $249 - $379.
• Deluxe packages typically cost $249 - $699, and include everything in the basic package, additional photos, an upgraded bouquet (cascade bouquet), a soloist (usually a pianist, organist or vocalist), and a video of the ceremony.
• Wedding packages at hotels on the strip are much pricier. A bare-bones ceremony, including the chapel, minister fee, music, bouquet and boutonniere, can run from $395 at the Excalibur[3] , to $1,100 at Mandalay Bay[4] . Many larger hotels offer bare-bones packages only on Monday-Thursday.
• Basic packages at strip hotels cost between $600 at Treasure Island to $2,000 at Caesars Palace. Basic packages at hotels include everything in the bare bones package plus champagne, a VHS tape or DVD of the ceremony, and up to 15 photos.
• A deluxe package at Treasure Island costs $800, compared to a similar package at Caesars Palace for $4,000. Deluxe packages include the basic plus limousine service, 20-30 pictures on a photo CD and a soloist or champagne flutes. Premium wedding packages run from $3,000 at Mandalay Bay to $6,500 at Caesars Palace. High-end hotels like the Bellagio and Caesars Palace also offer luxury packages that run from $15,000 - $20,000.

• Since most chapels don't allow you to bring in an outside minister or other official to perform the ceremony, and the cost of a chapel-provided minister runs between $50 - $60 if it is not included in a package.
• Tux rentals cost between $90-$170; gown rentals vary based on design but generally run between $120-$200.
• If not included, videotapes or DVDs of the wedding ceremony cost about $50-$75.
• Limousines are often included in packages, but the driver tip may not be covered. Tips for limo drivers usually start at $35.
• Many chapels charge premium fees on certain holidays, with some doubling their costs on popular wedding holidays like New Year's Eve and Valentine's Day.
• Because many hotels and chapels schedule back-to-back weddings, many also charge late fees, anywhere from $50 - $150 for couples who do not arrive for their ceremony on time.

• A majority of the weddings in Las Vegas take place on Fridays and Saturdays, so many chapels offer discounts Sunday-Thursday.
• According to Vegas.com[5] , Las Vegas temperatures often top the 100-degree mark during the summer months, and many chapels and hotels offer discounts from June to August.

• The Las Vegas Leisure Guide[6] and Vegas Vows provide lists of companies that offer wedding packages, while Las Vegas Wedding Informer[7] lists chapels that offer Elvis weddings.
• Sites like Yahoo! Travel[8] , Virtual Tourist[9] and My Vegas Wedding[10] list consumer tips and reviews of Las Vegas wedding-related services.
• The Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce also provides a business directory for wedding-related services.
