"We were already planning to hike Havasupai and decided last minute to get married in Vegas on the way since our flight landed there. I was hesitant to book due to time restraints but Shawn and his fabulous partner made it happen!! Super nice, fantastic, knowledgeable people and we want to say thank you for making our day amazing!!"

"We booked at the nelson ghost town and everything was perfect for a no stress sweet and simple wedding. Could not have asked for better. We received beautiful photos of the occasion from our wonderful photographer. The nelson ghost town staff were also very kind to help mend our friend from a bee sting. Thank you for making our elopement perfect."

"We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect elopement experience! From the very beginning, the communication was outstanding—clear, timely, and incredibly helpful. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, and we felt completely supported throughout the entire process. The location we chose was the Valley of Fire and it was absolutely stunning, and everything came together flawlessly. The ceremony, the photos—every moment felt magical and meaningful. It was intimate, stress-free, and exactly what we had envisioned (and more!). We’re so grateful to the team who helped bring our day to life. Their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail made this such a special experience that we’ll remember forever. If you’re thinking of eloping in the Valley of Fire, do it—you won’t regret it!"

"We cannot say enough wonderful things about LVWC! From start to finish, they went above and beyond to make our wedding day absolutely perfect. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care made the whole planning process stress-free and enjoyable. What really stood out was their flexibility in offering extra options such as the photoshoot and video services. Having everything coordinated through one company made things so much easier, and the quality was outstanding. The photos captured every little detail beautifully, and the video is something we’ll cherish forever. One of the things that really helped us was their website with a list of recommended vendors (make up, hair). It saved us so much time and gave us confidence that we were choosing trusted professionals who were familiar with the company’s standards. Thanks again for our beautiful wedding day!"

"Could not recommend Shawn enough. We didn't have to think about anything, which is exactly what we wanted. They sent clear instructions on how to get our marriage license. We followed the map to Nelson's ghost town (stunning desert scenery) and met Shawn and Carlos, our officiant. The location is stunning. Stop there even if you choose another venue! We got married in the chapel in a wonderful ceremony. Despite not knowing us at all and us giving no guidance, the ceremony was perfect. Shawn knew exactly what was next and was in the perfect place to capture every moment. Thank you, Carlos! Then Shawn expertly guided us through locations and poses, and got stunning candid shots between. He ended asking if there were any other photos we wanted and we couldn't think of one. He was kind, focused, and a great conversationalist between shots. We have over 300 photos and every single one could be framed. Our photos arrived a few days later, sooner than expected. We can download the files and do whatever we want with them. And it's super easy to share the link with family and friends. There isn't a thing I would change about the day. I am so grateful I had Las Vegas Weddings to handle everything so I could have a great vacation and an even better wedding. THANK YOU!"

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Las Vegas Elopements

How much does a Las Vegas elopement cost?
Valley of Fire elopement packages with LVWC start at $999 and vary based on guest count, photography coverage, and floral selections. Our helicopter wedding package starts at $1,499 all-inclusive.
Do we need a permit to get married at Valley of Fire or Nelson Ghost Town?
Yes—both require paid special-use permits secured by LVWC. Permits are limited to a set number per day, which is why we recommend booking your date 4 to 8 months in advance.
How do we get a Nevada marriage license?
You apply in person at the Clark County Marriage License Bureau in downtown Las Vegas. Both partners must appear with a valid government-issued photo ID. Cost is $102 (cash or card), no waiting period, valid one year.
How many guests can attend?
LVWC desert ceremonies accommodate up to 100 guests at Valley of Fire, Nelson Ghost Town, and Eldorado Dry Lakebed, with additional fees applying for larger groups.
How long does the ceremony take?
The ceremony itself runs about 15 to 20 minutes, but plan on roughly 3.5–4 hours total once you include travel from the Strip, photography time at the location, and the return trip.
When is the best time of year to elope in Las Vegas?
Las Vegas is a year-round wedding destination. Spring and fall bring mild, picture-perfect desert days, while summer ceremonies at sunrise or golden hour are stunning — warm light, dramatic skies, and far fewer crowds at the locations. Winter offers crisp, clear conditions with a quieter, more intimate feel. Every season has its magic — the best time is simply when you're ready.
Do you offer same-day or last-minute weddings?
Yes, through the Sign & Go option—our officiant comes to your hotel room for a quick, legal ceremony at $299.
Can we renew our vows or have a commitment ceremony?
Yes — every LVWC location and package can be booked as a vow renewal or commitment ceremony, with no marriage license required.
