Jo McKittrick Will Help Design The Perfect Unique Vegas Wedding
Jo McKittrick Will Help Design The Perfect Unique Vegas Wedding

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) August 16, 2014 -- Las Vegas sits like a glittering jewel in the Nevada desert and is known for several things. Everyone knows that Vegas is the place to go when you want to play the slots or sit down to a serious game of poker in one of the many casinos on the strip. Las Vegas has also become a major entertainment destination for visitors worldwide. From singers to magicians to the famous floor shows and everything in-between, there's always some show going on. While Las Vegas is justifiably famous for its casinos and entertaining shows, it's also become just as famous for the large amount of weddings that are performed there each year. There are over 120,000 marriage ceremonies that take place every year in Las Vegas, which boils down to over 300 per day.

Getting married in Las Vegas has several advantages. First, the requirements to get married in Nevada are very lenient as there is no blood test or waiting period. Another advantage is that of cost. The license fee for getting married is only $55, and a chapel can be rented for as little as $100. Compare that total to the average cost for a wedding, which was a whopping $29,858 in 2013. While every casino seems to have their own chapel and tourists flock to the most well-known marriage locations, there are a number of unique places to get married at in Las Vegas. Such locations may not be as well publicized, which means that a bride and groom should utilize the services of someone local, such as Reverend Jo McKittrick of Wedding Bells in Vegas, who knows the area and can show what's possible.

The city of Las Vegas and its surrounding environs provide quite a few unique locations for the bride and groom to begin their lifelong journey together. Each location has its own charm, and the variety of unique sites allows each couple to find a spot that's suitable for their wedding vows. The prices for conducting a ceremony can vary from just a few hundred to thousands of dollars, depending upon the location itself and any amenities and services desired. A couple's best course of action is to use a licensed wedding officiant, such as Reverend Jo McKittrick, to help them view their options and choose what is exactly right for them.

The first of our unique Las Vegas marriage ceremony locations is The Little Church of the West. This historic chapel has been in operation for over seventy years and was declared a national landmark in 1992. The Little Church of the West sits on an acre of land and its architecture features a quaint, western feel. Over 150,000 weddings have taken place here, including such luminaries as Judy Garland, Mickey Rooney, Richard Gere, Cindy Crawford, Angelina Jolie, and Billy Bob Thornton. The "Welcome To Las Vegas Sign" is just next door, and many couples have topped off their ceremony by posing in front of the historic sign.

For those not afraid of heights, couples can tie the knot at the Chapel in the Clouds at the Stratosphere Tower, which stands at 1,149 feet. This is the tallest freestanding observation tower in the US, offering panoramic views of Las Vegas. The bride and groom can choose to use the indoor venue or make their vows on the outdoor decks, which rise more than one hundred floors above street level. After the ceremony, the wedding party can enjoy the thrill rides on-site, such as the Big Shot, X-Scream, and Insanity.

Couples who wish to get married surrounded by the rich history of Las Vegas can do so at the Neon Boneyard, located at the Neon Museum. The Neon Boneyard is home to more than 150 historic signs from the heyday of Sin City during the Rat Pack era of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. The ceremony can take place amidst the celebrated images from historic casinos, such as the Golden Nugget, Binion's Horseshoe, Caesar's Palace, and the Stardust.

All of the unique marriage ceremony locations that Las Vegas has to offer are not necessarily within the city proper. As Reverend Jo McKittrick of Wedding Bells in Vegas notes, "There are some extremely lovely locations that can be found within just a few hours travel from Las Vegas. As a longtime Las Vegas resident, I can help you find that perfect spot to say 'I do' to one another, whether it's on the strip or that perfect vista on a desert bluff. My only goal is to find the venue that calls out to your heart."

One scenic location outside Las Vegas is the ghost town of Nelson, located in Eldorado Canyon. This area was once one of the most famous mining settlements in the West, and quite a lawless frontier town to boot. Today, Nelson is a ghost town absolutely brimming with character with its faded buildings recalling the boom times of long ago. If a sacred spiritual spot is more to a couple's liking than a lawless mining town, then the Valley of Fire is a great choice for a wedding ceremony. The Valley of Fire State Park is Nevada's oldest state park, dating back to 1935. This area is famous for its red sandstone formations that were formed back during the age of the dinosaurs. The distinguishing feature of the Valley of Fire is that the sandstone appears to be on fire when the sun's rays reflect off them. There are also the notable formations of Fire Canyon Arch and Elephant Rock that provide a breathtaking backdrop to any wedding party. Couples can also travel by helicopter to a beautiful plateau that offers incredible views.

Deciding to take the plunge and get married in Las Vegas doesn't mean that you have to make your vows in a tacky chapel in front of Elvis or at a drive-through. By using a certified wedding officiant, like Reverend Jo McKittrick of Wedding Bells in Vegas, you can find that special location that shows not only the uniqueness of your union, but can also fit within your budget.
