When you start planning a wedding or elopement in Las Vegas most couples start with locking down a venue first. It makes logical sense to want to know where you’re getting hitched so that you can complete the ‘who, what, when, where’ questions. Vegas has so many options for wedding venues it can be overwhelming to decide exactly what might be the best fit for what you need, what your budget is, and how many people are attending. Not to fear, we have narrowed down our top 5 unique venues in Las Vegas for smaller, low-key weddings (which is just our vibe!).

1. Sure Thing Chapel

When you think of a Vegas Wedding Chapel you probably think of something cringy, decorated in outdated ‘80s decor. Well if you’re looking for an upscale, but still ‘Vegas feeling’ little white chapel, we know just the place! The inside of the Sure Thing Chapel is completely modern–complete with a record player, huge heart installation, and a vintage photo booth. And the best part? You can have either she-Elvis or a Vegas showgirl perform the ceremony. So cool, right?! Check out this elopement we documented there!

2. Neon Museum

The Neon signs of Vegas have always been, and always will be, a vibe so there’s no better place than the Neon Museum for the ultimate vintage Vegas lovers! The museum is full of old neon signs from the Strip and Fremont Street that no longer had a home, and it makes it a real treat for guests to roam around and view all of them. Plus, they have a totally private space away from the crowds and noise just for weddings. A Vegas venue that offers privacy and show-stopping art for you to enjoy? A total win-win!

3. The Vegas Streets

Okay, this one might sound a little odd at first! This venue idea is definitely for the grungy lovers and those who love the ‘fly by the seat of your pants’ Vegas vibe. But as odd as getting married in a Vegas Street may sound, it’s actually a super easy and cheap idea! If you’re getting married during the day, we recommend Fremont Street as it’s a part of older Vegas and has more vibrancy, art, and fun street signage. Check out a Fremont Street alley wedding here. If you’re into the night-life that Vegas offers, we recommend a quick wedding in front of the neon signs when they’re all lit up! Check out a night wedding here. Either way, getting married on the streets of Vegas calls for a rad get away car–we highly recommend renting one!

4. Vegas Sign

Nothing screams Vegas wedding like the sign that welcomes all of its visitors! This venue option is definitely for those couples who are looking for a quick ceremony and a true “Sin City” vibe. You can make an appointment to get hitched at the sign online, complete with a built in officiant! This option also comes with a required photographer (provided by the same company who provides the officiant), but we highly suggest bringing an additional photographer and videographer along who can document those moments in a style you really want! Plus, you can hang out after the official ceremony for more photo opts!

5. The Surrounding Nature of Vegas

When you come to Vegas to get married you’re likely thinking of flashing lights, lots of people, and a big party scene. But that’s not all that Vegas has to offer! There are actually some really amazing state and National Parks close to Vegas that make the ultimate backdrop for a unique wedding. Plus, you can always travel to an awe-dropping place like the ones pictured below and then head back to the strip to party the night away! Places pictured below are: Valley of Fire, Death Valley, Salt Lake Beds (all of which are within a couple hours or less of Vegas!).
