Getting married in Las Vegas can a great experience, so here are 5 things to remember when planning your Las Vegas wedding..

1. Vegas is known for quickie weddings. But you still have a few legal requirements that need to be addressed before you take that walk down the isle with Elvis presiding over your ceremony. You will need to get a marriage license from the Marriage License Bureau at the County Courthouse at 200 S. 3rd Street. For more details see the county clerk’s webpage about getting married in Las Vegas
2. A Valentine’s Day wedding in Las Vegas may be a dream come true. But remember that it is also the busiest wedding day of the year. Reception sites tend to be booked solid, waits at the chapel can be hours, and the stress of waiting may make it anything but perfect.
3. Rent your wedding dress? Why not? With a spur of the moment decision to get married in Vegas shopping for that perfect wedding dress may not be possible. There are plenty of places where you can rent a wedding gown for your ceremony. This makes even more sense if you are going for a theme wedding at one of the many theme chapels.
4. Las Vegas is hot! Really. During the summer Las Vegas can be one of the hottest places in the United States. Plan your day appropriately when getting married in the summer in Vegas. Wear a sleeveless gown and don’t plan on an ice cream wedding cake.
5. Budget your time and plan to be rushed. Most wedding chapels will have several wedding services every day. So don’t plan to hang around getting pictures, chatting with friends, and drinking in the moment. Be ready to say I do, get a few quick photos and head out to your party.

Getting married in Las Vegas can be a lot of fun, but a little planning can really make your day perfect.
