How to get married in Clark County
Every Las Vegas chapel wedding starts the same way: with a marriage license from Clark County. The good news is the process is one of the fastest in the country.
- Both people apply in person at the Clark County Marriage License Bureau in downtown Las Vegas. You apply together and each bring a valid photo ID.
- Nevada has no waiting period and no blood test, so you can get your license and marry the same day.
- Take your license to the chapel, where a licensed officiant performs and signs the ceremony.
A first marriage does not need divorce paperwork. If either person was married before, only the date and state of the divorce are usually needed — not the papers themselves. Fees and office hours change from time to time, so check the county for current fees and hours before you go. Many couples get the license in the morning and hold the ceremony that afternoon.
Types of Las Vegas wedding chapels
Clark County has more wedding chapels than almost anywhere else, and they are not all the same. Knowing the main types helps you match the venue to the day you want.
- Traditional chapels — a classic aisle, pews and simple decor. Best for couples who want a timeless ceremony without a theme.
- Themed chapels — Elvis, rock-and-roll, vintage and other fun styles. Best for couples who want the playful side of Las Vegas. See themed Las Vegas weddings.
- Strip chapels — located on or near Las Vegas Boulevard, often inside or beside major resorts. Best for out-of-town guests who want everything in one place. See wedding chapels on the Las Vegas Strip.
- Outdoor and garden chapels — open-air ceremonies with desert, garden or skyline backdrops. Best for couples who want photos outside. See outdoor and garden weddings in Las Vegas.
- Intimate elopement chapels — small rooms built for two people and a witness. Best for a private, low-cost ceremony. See how a Las Vegas elopement works.

What Las Vegas wedding chapel packages include
Most Las Vegas wedding chapels sell packages rather than charging for each piece on its own. Package names differ from chapel to chapel, but they typically include a mix of the following:
- Officiant — a licensed minister or commissioner to perform and sign your ceremony.
- Ceremony coordinator — a staff member who cues the music, guides you through the vows and keeps the timing on track.
- Photography — a set number of posed and ceremony photos, often with a digital download.
- Music — recorded processional and ceremony songs, sometimes with a song choice of your own.
- Flowers — a bouquet and boutonniere, usually silk on lower tiers and fresh on higher tiers.
Higher tiers may add video, a limousine, an extra guest count or a live-stream so family at home can watch. Prices vary by chapel and season, so ask what is included before you book. If you want the whole event handled in one price, compare all-inclusive Las Vegas wedding packages.
Planning tips for a Las Vegas chapel wedding
A chapel wedding is simple, but a few small steps keep the day smooth.
- Book ahead for busy dates. Weekends, holidays and dates like 2-14 (Valentine's Day) fill up early. A same-day slot is easier midweek.
- Time your license. A Nevada marriage license does not expire for a year, so you can get it a day or two before the ceremony. Just make sure the bureau is open when you plan to go.
- Bring a witness. Nevada requires one adult witness to sign. If you are marrying alone, ask the chapel to provide one.
- Confirm what you owe. Ask whether tax, officiant gratuity and photo downloads are inside the package price or added on.
