1) Hollywood Wedding Chapel
The building of Hollywood Wedding Chapel was completed in 1954 and was first used as a nightclub, which was frequented by celebrities such as Frank Sinatra and Marilyn Monroe.

2) Chapel of The Flowers
In Las Vegas there are lots of wedding chapels where you can get married by an Elvis look-alike, but if you want to feel that you really are married, you couldn’t do better than to book your wedding at the Chapel of the Flowers.
This is an ideal place to say “I do” for the first time, or to renew your vows. It is the oldest on the Las Vegas Strip and you can choose from one of three beautifully decorated chapels: the Victorian, the Magnolia or La Capella, which is considered the most romantic with its chandeliers, wall lamps, marble walls and graceful altar columns. If you want an outside wedding, you can say your vows in the gazebo or in the lovely gardens.
The chapel offers four wedding themes: adventurous, elegant, intimate and legendary. These packages ensure that you enjoy a stress-free wedding; everything is provided: a wedding planner helps you choose the minister, the flowers and the venue. The bride’s hair and make-up are part of the package. There is also a limousine service in the more expensive packages.
Although the chapel is traditional and the service – either religious or civil – is a serious matter as in any church, it offers the most advanced technology with live Internet broadcasting and even marriage by Skype! A professional photographer will memorize your lovely day with wonderful photos to choose from and you can order a DVD of the service.

3) The Little White Wedding Chapel
Do you fancy tying the knot in Las Vegas? Then book your special day at the Little White Wedding Chapel, which is the favorite wedding venue for some of the most famous stars in the world.
If you are getting married or simply renewing your vows, you can follow in the footsteps of Paul Newman, Bruce Willis and Britney Spears to name just a few of the celebrities who were married here. There are five chapels to choose from: the Chapel of Promises, the Chapel d’Amour, the Crystal Chapel, the Gazebo or the Drive Thru Tunnel of Vows. This last is a bit like ordering your burger from Mac Drive, but is nonetheless an official affair and a favorite among Bikers who roar up on their Harley Davidson’s, tie the knot and roar away again.
You can rent everything you need for your wedding, bride’s gown, groom’s tuxedo, flowers, photographer and even a witness if you decide to get married on the spur of the moment. You also have a choice between a religious or civil service.
There are 12 wedding packages to choose from: the Lovers Package is the least expensive, but very lovely all the same. There is a Michael Jordan Ceremony and an Elvis – Pink Cadillac Package in the Drive Thru, where the King serenades you through the cherub and starlit canopy to the altar and sings you on your way at the end of the ceremony. Two rather syrupy keepsakes: “A Beautiful Love Recipe” and “Rules for a Happy Marriage” are included in all the packages.
