Tips for Getting Married in Vegas
Getting married in Vegas is perfect for couples who want to elope and have loads of fun in the process. Or for couples who want to renew their vows in an exciting way. But what do you need to consider when deciding to head to the US for a shotgun wedding? From cheap travel insurance to making sure you meet all of the legal requirements in order to get married, we’ve got some important tips no pair of lovebirds should miss:
Know the legal requirements
Find out what identification may be required and any other documentation that needs to be provided both now, and when you return from Vegas to ensure your wedding is valid and recognised back home. You don’t want to get all the way there only to find out that you’ve left an important document at home!
Best times of year
Valentine’s Day and New Years Eve are two very busy times of year to be getting married in Vegas. In order to avoid the rush and 3 hour chapel queues, consider getting married outside of the holiday periods.
An evening ceremony
Vegas gets very, very hot in Summer. If you are travelling there during this time you may want to consider getting married during the evening so that you can actually enjoy the ceremony without being completely overwhelmed by the heat.
Choosing your dress
Vegas is a hot place, so you don’t want to be done up in layers and layers of thick fabric. Choose a fun, flirty dress that’s perfect for hot weather and getting married in.
Need a witness?
Although all weddings need to have a witness you needn’t worry if you are travelling to Vegas just the two of you. All chapels as a general rule will provide you with one.
Take your Vegas Wedding to the next level
Vegas weddings are all about the wacky and wonderful! Explore different options from drive through weddings to Elvis ceremony’s. There are so many different options to choose from, you just need to pick one that suits the two of you.
Make sure you have travel insurance
You’re getting married, the last thing you want is to get sick or have something stolen and then have to worry about paying the bill yourselves. Make travel insurance a high priority on your wedding to do list. It’s better to be safe than sorry.
Vegas is also the chosen destination for many couples wanting to renew their wedding vows in a fun, exciting ceremony. Many of the chapels that host weddings are also more than happy to host these types of ceremonies for you, all you need to do is tell them what you’d like.
