The Ultimate Guide to Las Vegas Elopement Packages
Las Vegas isn’t just for shotgun weddings and Elvis impersonators—though, if that’s your vibe, it’s absolutely still an option. The city has evolved into one of the most diverse, flexible, and exciting places in the world to tie the knot. Whether you’re planning a stylish micro-wedding at a luxury venue or dreaming of a wild desert escape, there’s a Las Vegas elopement package that fits your vision.
In this guide, we’re breaking down the top elopement packages in Vegas, what’s included, and how to customize your day. Everything here is 100% real and researched—no filler, no fake vendors.
Why Choose a Las Vegas Elopement Package?
Elopement packages simplify the planning process by bundling everything you need—from the officiant and flowers to the ceremony location and permits. For couples flying in from out of town (or those who just don’t want the hassle of traditional wedding planning), they can be a stress-free and affordable solution.
You get:
- A clear cost upfront
- Legal logistics handled for you
- Local vendor access
- Flexibility in location, style, and extras
Some packages even include video, livestreaming, champagne toasts, and transportation.
Types of Las Vegas Elopement Packages
Chapel Elopements
Las Vegas is world-famous for its wedding chapels. These offer the most affordable and iconic experiences—and some come with quirky extras like Elvis officiants, neon signs, or drive-thru ceremonies.
Top Options:
- A Little White Wedding Chapel – The most famous chapel in Vegas. They offer elopement packages starting at $95.
- Little Church of the West – A historic landmark with desert charm and outdoor photo opportunities.
- Sure Thing Chapel – Retro vibes, curated packages, and great add-ons like vintage Polaroids.
Scenic Outdoor Elopements in Las Vegas
For couples who dream of exchanging vows surrounded by the red sandstone cliffs, dramatic desert skies, or surreal slot canyons, Las Vegas offers some of the most stunning outdoor wedding backdrops in the Southwest. These desert landscapes provide an unforgettable alternative to traditional chapels.
Red Rock Canyon
Just 30 minutes from the Strip, Red Rock Canyon offers a peaceful escape and panoramic views. It’s ideal for sunrise or sunset ceremonies, and it requires a special event permit (handled by most experienced elopement planners). The dramatic desert cliffs make for breathtaking portraits.
Valley of Fire State Park
About an hour northeast of Vegas, Valley of Fire is Nevada’s oldest and most colorful state park. With towering red rock formations, slot canyons, and sweeping desert vistas, it’s a favorite for couples who want bold, adventurous elopement photos. Most ceremonies are held at locations like the Visitor Center or the Seven Sisters formation.
Nelson Ghost Town
For something truly unique, Nelson Ghost Town is an abandoned mining town filled with vintage cars, old buildings, and rustic charm. It’s private property, so you’ll need permission to shoot or host a ceremony—but planners like Elopement Las Vegas can take care of those logistics for you.

Mount Charleston
Prefer a forest backdrop? Mount Charleston is a high-elevation escape with alpine scenery, cooler temperatures, and seasonal wildflowers. It’s perfect for couples looking for a more secluded and nature-filled ceremony without desert heat.
Whether you’re drawn to colorful sandstone, historic ghost towns, or forest trails, the scenic landscapes surrounding Las Vegas offer endless options for adventurous and intimate ceremonies.
Unique Theme Packages
Vegas is the place to lean into fun. Want to get married by Elvis in a pink Cadillac? Or say “I do” at a Taco Bell Cantina? It’s all possible.
Options include:
- Graceland Chapel – Elvis-themed ceremonies that blend tradition with fun.
- Taco Bell Wedding – Yes, it’s real. For $777 you get a ceremony, merch, food, and a private booth.
