You want your wedding to be memorable. Why not make the backdrop just as stunning as you? Las Vegas is filled with some of the most stunning locations you can find. So whether you want to get married in the lush environs of Joël Robuchon, in a museum with former mayor Oscar Goodman officiating, with a Frank Gehry building as the backdrop or overlooking the Fountains at Bellagio, Las Vegas has you covered. Here, 14 of the most visually stunning wedding venues in Las Vegas.
Chapel of the Flowers has provided traditional, intimate and elegant Las Vegas weddings on the world-famous Strip for nearly 60 years. The full-service wedding venue features three elegant wedding chapels as well as an outdoor gazebo and glass garden. Its cobblestone-accented grounds and lush landscaping create a variety of options to capture that picture-perfect moment.
Want the entire Strip and the surrounding mountains as your backdrop for your wedding? Step inside one of the pods at the High Roller for a 30-minute ride where you step off as man and wife.
Put your entire wedding together at one of the best restaurants in Las Vegas and its backdrop of Paris in the 1930s. Head out to the picturesque Parisian terrace showcasing a vertical garden of ivy and landscaped design provides a magical backdrop for the bride and groom’s wedding ceremony.
More than 100,000 couples have tied the knot at the Little Church of the West in its nearly 70 year history. The chapel was designed to look like an old mining town church, built of cedar and California redwood.
While beach weddings are certainly common, there’s only one place to do it in Vegas. Head to the Mandalay Bay Beach for a marriage ceremony in a private cabana or on the shores of the beach with water lapping up from the wave pool for a tropical backdrop for your big day.
The Minus5 Ice Bar is the first venue in Sin City to allow marriages in frosty temperatures. Whether you are looking for a traditional wedding or something a little less ordinary, Minus5 offers guests with the ultimately cool wedding experience featuring translucent ice walls, an ice bar, ice seating covered with faux fur pelts, ice tables and a variety of ice sculptures.
When your passion is just bubbling over, make your wedding a tropical affair to remember with the cascading waterfalls, lagoons and the volcano in front of the Mirage as the backdrop. Daytime weddings offer a serene and intimate tropical setting amidst the volcano’s mountain, cascading waterfall and lagoon. Evening weddings overlook the waterfall and erupting volcano.
Want to get married in museum dedicated to the history of the mafia? How about have former mayor Oscar Goodman as your officiant? The Mob Museum can offer it all.
Get married underwater at the Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay. Well, you’re not necessary underwater, but you are surrounded by 1.3 million gallons of seawater and 15 species of shark when you tie the knot here.
Make the Smith Center your backdrop for you wedding in the Grand Lobby or Upper Lobby in Reynolds Hall to Cabaret Jazz. You can even reserve the courtyard outdoors.
Get married in the middle of the desert at the Springs Preserve. Many of the grounds at the 180-acre botanical gardens either indoors or outdoors at the Springs Preserve can make the perfect setting for a marriage ceremony.
Bellagio’s Terrazza Di Sogno (Italian for Terrace of Dreams) offers a romantic beginning for a new life together with Lake Como as the backdrop. Surrounded by elegant spring flora and overlooking The Fountains of Bellagio, couples indulge in a stylish and unique wedding experience.
