If you have ever thought about a destination wedding, you know that just as much planning goes into the event as if you were having your wedding right in your own backyard. You need to prepare family and friends, you need to arrange a ceremony and after party, and you need to make sure you are ready for marriage. Just because you rush off to Sin City filled with love and excitement does not mean you will not one day need a child custody attorney. However, if you prepare for the event, you can still have a great wedding and great marriage that begins in Sin City and you will never need to call on the services of that custody attorney. The key is to be as organized and efficient in your planning for a getaway wedding as you would for a wedding in your hometown. Just because something is far away does not mean it cannot be traditional, or at least have the traditional aspects you crave. Many people think of Sin City weddings as tawdry and cheap, but you can change that by planning a fun and creative event that everyone will enjoy.
First, unless you have your heart set on a Sin City themed wedding, scrap the idea of marrying in one of the little overnight chapels or drive through wedding services. Some people do this as a gimmick and then throw a traditional reception, but if this is not your plan, consider other alternatives. Many users report these chapels are often crowded and the wedding is rushed. It could be a cute idea to run of away from the rest of your party and come back married an hour later, but if you are not into the gimmick just for laughs, you will probably not be happy. The good news is, there are plenty of other options. There are numerous traditional churches in Nevada, and if you really want your nuptials on the strip, you can use one of the wedding chapels in the hotels. Nearly all of the strip hotels have at least one chapel and many of them feature a variety of scenic destinations around their grounds where weddings can be performed. Many of these are elegant and impressive.
Next, you will be planning your reception just as you would at home. Many of the hotels offer ready made reception packages that are affordable and provide everything you need for the ceremony and after party. Others choose to reserve a private room in one of the city's numerous restaurants. The difference between a Sin City wedding and one in your hometown is probably going to be arranging the vendors. The hotels make it easy by bringing in everything you need, so you do not need to plan a vendor for each aspect of the party. This may reduce your choices a bit, but it makes planning easier. In most cases, the vendors can handle special requests, so do not be afraid to ask if you envisioned something in particular for your special day.
