#4 Pick a Location
Go with the vibes you’ve decided on! Feel free to ask your photographer or coordinator about what locations they recommend for you. They might know a unique location you haven’t heard of!
I recommend booking a hotel, venue, or chapel that allows for outside photographers and vendors. Why? Because typically, the hotel or chapel vendors aren’t… the best. They typically do dozens of weddings per day and there’s virtually no communication with you, no unique experience, or care for their individual clients. And they certainly won’t go above-and-beyond for your day.
Here are some of my favorite locations to get married in Vegas:
The Neon Museum - book here
Grand Canyon - trust me, it’s worth ittttt. You can even take a helicopter tour out there with your photographer and get photos all around the canyon! They will even arrange your ride from your hotel.
Elope in the desert, like Red Rock Canyon or Valley of Fire
Rent out a rooftop bar or club
Private party at a restaurant
Cocktail party with friends and family, like the Chandelier at the Cosmopolitan, the Velveteen Rabbit or the Strat
Elope at a classic Vegas chapel, like Little White Wedding chapel or Bliss, or a modern one, like Sure Thing Chapel
… and don’t forget to take photos around the Strip, Vegas sign, Neon museum, or the desert afterwards! I love photographing my clients around the best sights after they tie the knot!
