Getting married in Las Vegas is the dream of many couples, and you do not have to be eloping or enjoying a whirlwind romance to experience this. Many couples choose to have a Las Vegas wedding so that they can enjoy the glitz and glamour of Vegas on their special day. If you want to have the perfect Vegas wedding, consider these tips.

First, choose a wedding planner. Since you will be planning your wedding long distance, a wedding planner will help things to go smoothly. You can talk over the phone and via email with your wedding planner to ensure that everything is perfect on your special day. The wedding planner can coordinate the caterer, bakery, chapel, musicians, and all of the other details of your special day.

Second, plan some extra time before the wedding to give yourself a chance to get the lay of the land and have a little fun. Many couples choose to have their bachelor and bachelorette parties while they are there.

Choose a date that is convenient for your guests. Valentine’s Day and New Years Eve are very crowded times in Las Vegas, and your out of town guests may find it difficult to find rooms to reserve. Also, consider getting married over a weekend or at the beginning or end of a work week to accommodate the travel needs of your guests.

Choosing the venue for your wedding is not going to be easy. Most of the major resorts have chapels available, and you can also choose one of the chapels that are not within a resort. The best option to keep things convenient for your guests is to have your wedding and reception at the same location. Talk to your wedding planner about the theme of your wedding, and you should be able to narrow down your choices to the best possible option.

Getting your dress to Las Vegas can be a challenge. If you want to buy your dress, you will need to carefully pack it and bring it on the plane with you. However, there are numerous places in Vegas where you can rent a wedding dress. This may be a more affordable option and will save you the hassle of carting the dress with you.

Do not forget to take the time to get your marriage license before the wedding. You have to do this in person at the County Courthouse, and you must provide proof of age. You do not have to wait for your license, but you do have to pay a $55 fee.

Of course, getting married in Vegas means anything goes. You can choose just about any theme for your wedding, from Star Trek to King Arthur. And what is the best part of getting married in Vegas? You do not have to travel far to enjoy your honeymoon!
