New Year's Eve & Valentine's Day Weddings in Las Vegas

Two nights a year the whole world is already celebrating something — here's what it takes to make one of them your wedding day.

Two Dates, Two Kinds of Magic

An Anniversary Everyone Already Celebrates

Most couples spend months searching for a wedding date that feels meaningful. New Year's Eve and Valentine's Day skip that search entirely — the significance is already built in, and so is the celebration. Every year, without fail, the people you love will already be raising a glass or thinking about love on your anniversary.

Las Vegas is uniquely built for both. On New Year's Eve, the entire Strip becomes a fireworks show. On Valentine's Day, the city leans fully into romance — and February happens to land right in the middle of prime desert wedding season, with mild temperatures and clear skies.

Here's what each date actually looks and feels like for an LVWC wedding, and how to book one.

Section One

New Year's Eve: Married Under Fireworks

Nowhere in the country puts on a New Year's Eve show quite like the Las Vegas Strip. Timing a ceremony around midnight means your first moments as a married couple happen under a sky full of fireworks, with hundreds of thousands of people counting down alongside you.

Section Two

Valentine's Day: Romance by Design

Valentine's Day doesn't need much dressing up as a wedding date — it already is one. Add in February's mild desert temperatures and long golden-hour light, and it's one of the most requested dates on the LVWC calendar.

Plan Ahead

Both Dates Book Up Early

New Year's Eve and Valentine's Day stack wedding demand on top of holiday travel demand — hotel rooms and popular venues move fast. Aim to lock in your date and venue 6–9 months out, and get your guests' hotel rooms booked as early as possible, especially for NYE on the Strip.

Common Questions

NYE & Valentine's Wedding FAQ

Can you get married on New Year's Eve in Las Vegas?
Yes. The Clark County Marriage License Bureau is open every day of the year, including December 31st, with no waiting period. LVWC performs NYE ceremonies at the Strip, our desert venues, and via helicopter — just know that NYE is one of the busiest nights of the year in Las Vegas, so book your date and hotel well in advance.
Is Valentine's Day a popular wedding date in Las Vegas?
Yes — Valentine's Day is consistently one of the highest-demand wedding dates in Las Vegas, second only to New Year's Eve for holiday-anchored ceremonies. February also happens to fall in the middle of desert wedding season, with comfortable 55–75°F temperatures and clear skies.
How far in advance should we book a New Year's Eve or Valentine's Day wedding?
Book 6–9 months out if possible. Both dates combine wedding demand with holiday travel demand, which means hotel rooms, popular venues, and vendors fill faster than an average weekend. Sign & Go and other flexible-timing packages tend to have more last-minute availability than desert or helicopter ceremonies.
Do prices go up for weddings on these dates?
LVWC package pricing stays the same regardless of date. What can change is hotel room pricing for your guests — both NYE and Valentine's week see elevated Strip hotel rates, so encourage guests to book their rooms early.
Can we see the Strip fireworks as part of our New Year's Eve ceremony?
A Strip helicopter wedding timed around midnight puts you above the fireworks display for an unmatched view. Ground-level ceremonies near the Strip can also be timed so your celebration flows right into the countdown and fireworks.
