Time :If you have your wedding in one of the hundreds of wedding chapels in Las Vegas, don't expect a long ceremony or a lot of quality time in the chapel afterward. Because there are always several weddings scheduled in each chapel every day, you often are allowed only a half-hour of chapel time. Some chapels can be booked for longer times, but you usually end up paying more for those packages.

The official :Most wedding chapels in Las Vegas offer either a civil ceremony or a religious ceremony and provide you with a minister or rabbi. Keep in mind that most chapels don't allow you to bring in an outside minister or other official to perform the ceremony.

Language :What if you come to Las Vegas to get married but you don't speak English? Have no fear. Many wedding chapels in Las Vegas will perform ceremonies in Spanish, French, Italian, German, Japanese and other languages. Check out our hotel chapel guide to find chapels that offer foreign language ceremonies.

Wacky weddings :Las Vegas is the crazy wedding capital of the world. If you come here to get married, you don't have to have a traditional ceremony. If you're getting married in Sin City, why not make it a wild and crazy experience? Las Vegas wedding chapels offer unique weddings galore. You can get married in a drive-through chapel, get married by Elvis, have a Harley Davidson-themed wedding, get married at the Las Vegas Hilton's Star Trek Experience or even have a nude ceremony. Only in Vegas.

Hair and makeup :If you're from out of town and you're in Vegas for your wedding, you will probably want to find a hairstylist to help you prepare for the big day. Many hotels have salons or spas right on property. You also might want to try a local salon off the Strip. In either case, be sure to book your appointment well in advance and keep those holidays and weekends in mind. The salons can get booked up fast. There also are some services in town that will come directly
to your hotel room to fix your hair for your wedding.
