From the historical Graceland wedding chapel to the versatile Chapel of the Bells, Vegas have everything you’ll need for when you decide to tie the knot. The following Las Vegas wedding chapels are some of the most iconic in the city.
Graceland Wedding Chapel
As the original home of the Elvis wedding, Graceland Wedding Chapel has been a staple in Las Vegas for more than 50 years. The chapel hosts more than 200 weddings per week and continues to get rave reviews from guests. Graceland Wedding Chapel will work with guests to create their dream wedding – whether it’s traditional, romantic, fun, or of course – Elvis-themed. The chapel has held many celebrity weddings over the years, from Billy Ray Cyrus to Jon Bon Jovi. It has also been featured on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Good Morning America, and CBS Early Show.
Chapel of the Bells
Conveniently located on the Las Vegas Strip, Chapel of the Bells features an all-inclusive wedding experience. They host several packages for brides and grooms on a budget, all which include a licensed minister, music, and candlelit chapel. Plenty of celebrities have held their wedding ceremony within the Chapel of the Bells, including Mickey Rooney and Kelly Ripa. The chapel has also been featured in many movies, from Vegas Vacation to Honeymoon in Vegas. Chapel of the Bells provides a wide range of weddings, from small to ornate, and can generally hold up to 25 guests.
Little Church of the West
The Little Church of the West, located on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada is a historic replica of a pioneer town church and is the oldest on The Strip. The wedding chapel used to be highly famous and was actually filmed in the movie Viva Las Vegas as Elvis Presley and Ann Margaret recited their vows. While the chapel’s history is vast, it has seen its share of criticisms. Also known as “Disaster Chapel” according to Las Vegas CBC News America and Channel 8 News, the Little Church of the West has been poorly regulated in recent years – leading to its downfall.
Belleza Wedding Chapel
Belleza is a Spanish term meaning beauty – and that’s what guests can expect when hosting their wedding ceremony there. This is not your traditional wedding chapel. Belleza is designed in Tuscan-style and has a gazebo area for brides and grooms who prefer an outdoor wedding. Bezella Wedding Chapel is romantic and modern with dramatic drapery and columns covered in winding flowers. Belleza offers renewal and commitment ceremonies, as well as several package deals. Have Elvis perform several of your favorite songs or even walk the bride down the aisle.
