How to Get Married at Little White Wedding Chapel
Step 1: Apply for Your Marriage License
Save time by filling out the Clark County Marriage License online application before you arrive.
Step 2: Pick Up Your License
Visit the Clark County Marriage License Bureau (201 E. Clark Ave.)—no appointment needed!
Cost: $102 cash | $105.29 (credit/debit)
Step 3: Bring Your License to the Chapel
You need to have a valid license ready for your wedding!
Pro Tip: The Marriage License Bureau is open every day of the year. Open from 8 AM to Midnight. This makes last-minute elopements easy!
What Your Day Actually Looks Like (the real timeline)
This is the part nobody tells you, so here is the honest play-by-play from someone who lives it every day.
Your ceremony itself is about 7 minutes. Sweet and short, no time to change your mind, ha! If you book an Elvis ceremony, plan for about 15 minutes instead.
Check-in is 30 minutes before your ceremony time, and the chapel is strict about it. This place gets busy, and they work hard to keep every couple’s ceremony on schedule. If you’re late, they can move your ceremony to a later slot that day. Don’t risk it!
Here’s how the day flows when couples book me as their photographer:
- We meet at the chapel at your check-in time, 30 minutes before your ceremony. We check in together, and instead of sitting in the waiting area, we start your photos right away around the chapel. Your waiting time becomes portrait time!
- Your ceremony, 7 to 15 minutes depending on your officiant and whether Elvis is in the building.
- Right after the ceremony: if you have family and friends with you, this is the golden moment for group photos, everyone glowing and together. If it’s just the two of you, we catch the chapel photo spots we didn’t get before the ceremony.
Best Time to Elope at Little White Wedding Chapel
Time of Day: Early morning to skip the crowds or sunset for dreamy lighting
Season: Spring & Fall (Vegas summers are HOT)
Pro Tip: Stay away from Valentine’s Day, New Year’s Eve, and 11/11. These are the busiest wedding dates in Las Vegas!

The Gazebo
For couples who love the great outdoors, the Gazebo is a dream come true! Lush greenery drapes the semi-open venue, which features a charming lattice design and whimsical butterfly seats. A fun tradition matches its natural, breezy feel.
Many couples show their love by attaching a “forever lock” to the fence. A perfect place is ready for you, offering a bright, open space with a fun, romantic feel to celebrate your special day.

With its stylish décor, sparkling chandeliers, and a beautiful mural, it’s the perfect place for couples. They can have a wedding that is bold and elegant while still capturing the fun spirit of Vegas.
How to Get Pink Cadillac Photos (the part everyone asks me)
Here’s something most couples don’t know: the chapel does not promise photos at the Pink Cadillac. It’s a ceremony site, and if another couple is getting married there, it’s off limits. So if the Cadillac photos matter to you, here are your three real options:
- Book your ceremony at the Pink Cadillac. You get married there and have photo time at the site right after. This is the guaranteed way.
- Add dedicated Pink Cadillac photo time to your booking. This is an add-on the chapel offers to couples who book a ceremony, after you book, so you won’t find it on their website. Just ask! When my couples have added it, it was around $250 for about 15 minutes (confirm the current price).
- Wing it. If the Cadillac would be nice but you won’t be heartbroken without it, we ask the chapel after your ceremony. If it’s free, they let us pop in for a couple of quick shots. If a ceremony is happening there, it’s a no. I do this with my couples all the time, and the staff is wonderful about it when the timing works.
Fun Add-Ons at Little White Wedding Chapel
Elvis Tribute Ceremony
I love, love, LOVE Elvis ceremonies! Elvis makes weddings fun, full of laughter, and completely stress-free. If you’re bringing family, he’ll have everyone laughing and enjoying every minute.
That said, Elvis isn’t for everyone, and that is totally okay! You do not need Elvis to have an amazing Vegas elopement. Go with your gut on this one. If something lights up in you at the idea of an Elvis ceremony, go for it, it is going to be so much fun! And if it’s just not your vibe, skip it with zero regrets. Your day, your rules. 🙂
If you do book Elvis, one tip: go all in. Be ready to dance, sing along, and play. The couples who commit have the absolute best time (and the best photos!). If you just stand there wondering what’s happening, it gets awkward fast. Book Elvis for the fun, then bring the fun. 🙂
Why choose a regular wedding when you can add some Vegas magic and a lot of rock ‘n’ roll to your special day? With our Elvis Tribute Ceremony add-on, an Elvis will sing to you during your vows. This will make your ceremony a dazzling and unforgettable event.
Imagine “The King” singing your favorite song. He gives a fun nod to Vegas’ lively history. This adds a special mix of nostalgia and joy to your celebration. Plus, your Elvis wedding package includes up to 20 guests, making it the perfect intimate yet rockin’ way to say “I do!”
Ride With The King
For couples who want a memorable entrance, the Ride With The King package is the best Vegas elopement experience. Step into a classic, retro vehicle that oozes vintage glamour and cruise the Strip in style from the iconic Tunnel of Love Drive-Thru.
Your special day gets a boost of rock star flair. Your Elvis will perform two of your favorite songs. This sets the perfect soundtrack for your epic ride into forever. With up to 20 guests invited, this add-on makes your wedding a bright, neon-lit celebration of love!
Little White Chapel Flowers
The Little White Chapel has floral packages. You can choose from red, white, or bright pink roses. Want something different? You can upgrade to alternative colors, various sizes, styles, and even customize the ribbon to match your vibe.
For something special, check out their custom floral options. You can create a bouquet that is uniquely yours! For full details, just click on “package details” on the packages page.
Eloping at the Little White Wedding Chapel: How the Day Works
A Little White Wedding Chapel elopement is the easiest version of a Vegas wedding. Book your ceremony time, get your marriage license from the Clark County Marriage License Bureau before you arrive, and check in 30 minutes early. The ceremony itself is sweet and short, about 7 minutes (around 15 with Elvis), so the photos are the real adventure of the day.
Most eloping couples pair the chapel with the city afterward: the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Sign, Fremont Street after dark, or both. Since the chapel lets you bring your own photographer for free, one photographer can cover the whole story, from check-in to the last neon sign. That full flow is exactly how a Las Vegas elopement works when the day is planned around the light.
Eloping just the two of you? Nevada requires one witness, and I’m always happy to sign as yours! Weekday mornings are the quietest slots, and a sunset-time ceremony gets you the chapel in daylight with Fremont in full neon after.
Bringing Your Own Photographer (yes, you can, and it’s free!)
This is one of my favorite things about the Little White Wedding Chapel, and one of the reasons I recommend it so often: you can bring your own photographer at no extra charge. Many Vegas chapels require their in-house photography only. Here, you get to choose.
- Tell the chapel when you book that you’re bringing your own photographer.
- Your photographer checks in with you at your check-in time (I always meet my couples there and we check in together).
- The chapel’s own photographers get priority at the ceremony sites, but truthfully, there is nothing we can’t shoot there. The staff is friendly and works really well with outside photographers. After hundreds of weddings here, the partnership is smooth every single time.
Rain, Heat, and Other “What Ifs”
- Rain: good news, both the Gazebo and the Pink Cadillac are under a roof. Rain changes nothing about your ceremony. You’re totally fine!
- Summer heat: the real challenge. The Gazebo in July feels like a sauna, so book morning or sunset-and-later. The Pink Cadillac is outside-under-roof and very doable, my trick is having my couples relax inside the AC right up until ceremony time.
- Running late: remember the strict 30-minute check-in.
Mistakes to Avoid
Honestly? Couples don’t make many mistakes here, the chapel makes things easy. But the two I see:
- Picking a ceremony time before talking to their photographer. Your photographer knows what time of day creates the look you want. One quick conversation saves your whole gallery.
- Forgetting the marriage license. The chapel will send you back to get it. License in the bag the night before!
