Las Vegas wedding packages make it remarkably simple to get married in one of the most iconic places on earth, often for a fraction of what a traditional hometown wedding costs. Whether you want a five-minute chapel ceremony, a glamorous reception on the Strip, or a sunset elopement in the desert, the Vacation Planning Company team helps you compare options, lock in the right package, and handle travel for your whole group, at no extra cost versus booking it all yourself. You get a real advisor who knows you by name and stays with you before, during, and after the big day.

Below you will find what you need to choose a package, understand real costs, plan for your guests, and avoid the mistakes couples make when they try to piece a Vegas wedding together alone.

Why Get Married in Las Vegas?

Las Vegas is the wedding capital of the world for good reason. Few destinations make it this easy to marry quickly, beautifully, and on almost any budget. The appeal comes down to a few things couples consistently love:

  • Speed. Nevada has no waiting period and no blood test. Once you have your license, you can be married the same day.
  • Range. You can do an intimate Las Vegas elopement for two or a 200-guest celebration with a band, and everything in between.
  • Value. Even a luxe Vegas wedding typically costs far less than an equivalent ballroom wedding back home.
  • Built-in entertainment. World-class dining, shows, pools, and spas keep your guests happy whether or not they are part of the ceremony, and it is a destination everyone already wants to visit.

That is why so many couples treat a Vegas wedding as a hybrid: part wedding, part group getaway. Our team plans both halves so the celebration and the trip feel seamless.

What's Included in Most Las Vegas Wedding Packages

Packages vary by venue, but most bundle a predictable core set of services. Knowing what is standard helps you compare apples to apples instead of getting dazzled by a low headline price. A typical Las Vegas wedding package includes some or all of the following:

  • Ceremony venue and officiant (chapel, garden, rooftop, or resort space)
  • A wedding coordinator for the day-of timeline
  • Photography and/or video (number of images or edited footage varies by tier)
  • Flowers for the couple, often a bouquet and boutonniere
  • Music (recorded, live pianist, or a soundtrack of your choice)
  • A limo or transportation to and from the ceremony in many mid- and upper-tier packages
  • Keepsakes such as a wedding certificate holder, champagne toast, or a small cake

What is usually not included, and where DIY couples get surprised, is the official Clark County marriage license fee, gratuities, upgraded photo galleries, reception food and beverage, and guest travel. A good Vegas wedding planner flags every one of these line items up front so there are no day-of surprises.

Types of Vegas Weddings: Find Your Style

The phrase "Vegas wedding" covers an enormous range. Here is how the main styles compare so you can find the one that fits your vision and your guest list.

Wedding StyleBest ForTypical Guest CountWhat to Expect
Classic chapelCouples who want the iconic Vegas experience0–20Short, sweet ceremony; fast turnaround; great value
ElopementJust the two of you, or a tiny party0–8Maximum simplicity; often paired with a stunning backdrop
Strip resort weddingCouples wanting glamour and a reception20–200+Ballrooms, rooftops, pool decks; full-service catering
Outdoor / desertNature lovers and photographers2–60Red Rock Canyon, Valley of Fire, or garden settings
Themed weddingPersonality-forward couples0–40Elvis, vintage neon, classic-car, and other signature looks
Vow renewalCouples celebrating a milestone anniversary0–100Same beautiful venues, no license required

A Vegas vow renewal is worth a special mention. It uses the same chapels, resorts, and outdoor settings as a wedding, but because no marriage license is involved, the logistics are even simpler, ideal for a 10th, 25th, or 50th anniversary or as the centerpiece of a family reunion trip.

How Much Do Las Vegas Wedding Packages Cost?

Costs span a wide range because "a Vegas wedding" can mean so many things. Rather than quote a single figure, here is how to think about the tiers. Your advisor confirms exact current pricing for the venues you are considering, since promotions and inclusions change often.

  • Simple chapel or elopement packages are the budget-friendly entry point, bundling the ceremony essentials for two.
  • Mid-tier packages add upgraded photography, flowers, transportation, and a small guest allowance.
  • Full resort weddings with a reception move into traditional territory once you add catering, bar, a larger venue, and entertainment, though they still tend to land well under a comparable hometown wedding.

Beyond the package, budget for the Clark County marriage license, gratuities, attire, guest travel, and reception food and beverage. Because we never charge service fees, you are not paying us on top of these costs; we are compensated by our partners, so our planning is genuinely free to you.

Getting Your Marriage License in Las Vegas

This is the most important logistical step, and it is simpler than most couples expect. To get married in Las Vegas, both partners apply together in person at the Clark County Marriage License Bureau with valid, government-issued photo ID. There is no waiting period and no blood test in Nevada, which is exactly why same-day weddings are possible. A few expert tips:

  • Apply early in your trip so the license is in hand before your ceremony slot.
  • Check the current fee and accepted payment methods in advance, as these change.
  • If either of you was previously married, know the date and place the marriage ended.
  • After the ceremony, your officiant submits the paperwork; request a certified copy if you will need it for a name change.

Your Vegas wedding planner keeps this entire sequence on a simple timeline so nothing falls through the cracks on a fast-moving trip.

Planning the Guest Experience and Group Travel

Couples benefit most from working with us on everything around the ceremony. A wedding is only one hour of a multi-day trip, and your guests will remember the whole experience. We coordinate:

  • Room blocks at the right hotel for your budget and vibe, from Strip icons to quieter luxury properties
  • Airfare and arrival logistics for guests flying in from across the country
  • Welcome dinners, brunches, and group activities like shows, golf, spa days, and day trips to the Grand Canyon
  • A single point of contact so your guests call us, not you, with their questions

If your celebration is really a group event with a wedding at its center, our Las Vegas group travel planning and broader group travel planning services handle the headcount and contracts so you can enjoy your own wedding. Corporate teams combining a celebration with a retreat can also explore our MICE and incentive travel expertise.

Why Book Your Vegas Wedding With Vacation Planning Company

Many couples try to book a Vegas wedding directly and end up juggling a chapel, a hotel, a limo company, a photographer, and a dozen guest itineraries on their own. Here is what changes when a real advisor handles it:

  • No service fees. Our planning and booking cost you nothing extra versus doing it yourself. See why using a travel advisor costs you nothing extra.
  • Same or better rates, plus perks. Our relationships can unlock upgrades, amenities, and group concessions you cannot easily get on your own.
  • One expert who knows you. You work with the same advisor from first call to final toast, not a different rep every time.
  • On-the-ground knowledge. We know which chapels photograph beautifully, which resorts handle large parties gracefully, and which "deals" come with strings attached.
  • An advocate during the trip. If a flight is delayed or a detail goes sideways, you have someone working the problem for you.

And if your heart is set on a beach rather than the Strip, we plan those too. Couples drawn to a Mexico celebration often love the art-filled resorts of the Riviera Maya, and our specialists arrange destination weddings beyond Vegas at the Hotel Xcaret family of resorts with the same no-fee approach.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Las Vegas wedding packages cost?

It depends on the style. Simple chapel and elopement packages are the most affordable and bundle the ceremony essentials for two. Mid-tier packages add upgraded photography, flowers, and transportation. Full resort weddings with a reception cost more once catering, bar, and a larger venue are included, though typically still less than a comparable hometown wedding. Separately, budget for the Clark County marriage license, gratuities, and guest travel. Your advisor confirms exact current pricing, with no service fee added.

Can you get married the same day in Las Vegas?

Yes. Nevada has no waiting period and no blood test, so once both partners obtain a marriage license in person from the Clark County Marriage License Bureau, you can be married the same day. Same-day chapel slots are common, though booking your preferred venue and time in advance is smart, especially on weekends and holidays.

What's the difference between a Vegas elopement and a Vegas wedding?

An elopement is typically just the two of you, or a very small party, with a streamlined ceremony and minimal logistics. A larger Vegas wedding may include a sizable guest list, a reception with catering and entertainment, room blocks, and group activities. Both use the same beautiful chapels, resorts, and outdoor settings, the main differences are guest count and how much celebration surrounds the ceremony.

Do I need a marriage license for a Vegas vow renewal?

No. A vow renewal is a symbolic ceremony, not a legal marriage, so no license is required. You can hold a renewal at the same chapels, resorts, and scenic outdoor venues used for weddings. Renewals are popular for milestone anniversaries and pair beautifully with a family reunion or group trip.

Can you plan travel and hotels for our wedding guests too?

Absolutely, and this is where working with us saves you the most stress. We arrange room blocks, airfare, transfers, welcome events, and group activities, and we become the single point of contact so guests bring their questions to us instead of to you. It turns a one-hour ceremony into a smooth multi-day celebration for everyone.

Is there a fee to use Vacation Planning Company for a Vegas wedding?

No. Our expert planning and booking cost you nothing extra compared with booking everything yourself. We are compensated by our travel and venue partners, which means you get same-or-better rates, added perks, and a dedicated advisor at no added cost to you.
