Nevada Wedding

Nevada Is Made for Weddings

Whether you’ve been fantasizing about that big, beachfront Lake Tahoe ceremony (be real, since long before you even ever met this soulmate), or you really just want Father “Elvis” to do this thing from a drive-through window, or anything else in between, Nevada’s got your big day covered. While many states make couples deal with a blood test and waiting period to get married before their wedding day, all Nevada really asks is that both people show up. You can even get a marriage license from any county clerk office and go home hitched, with marriage certificate in hand, later that same day. But that’s not the only reason couples bring their love to the Silver State. Whatever your vision is for your big day—from storybook elegance to rustic and casual to spur-of-the-moment—if you can dream it, Nevada can make it come true.

Between countless movies and real-life celebrity BuzzFeed pictorials and maybe even a surprise “So… Tom and I got married” tale from your aunt on Thanksgiving, there’s a reason why thoughts of Las Vegas conjure images of cute little chapels, drive-thru ceremonies, and JUST MARRIED pics beneath the Welcome To Fabulous Las Vegas sign.

And don’t get us wrong; whether you’re envisioning your big day in a beautiful church or schmancy golf club, a Tahoe beach or beautiful natural setting, a charming old ranch or, hell, even a ghost town, Nevada has no shortage of picture-perfect places to satisfy those desires. However, seekers of big, lavish weddings or even that classic just-us Nevada wedding chapel experience will be glad to know that anything is possible in the Silver State.

Wedding Chapels in Las Vegas, Nevada

Las Vegas weddings are always a hot choice, with as wide a range of options as there are people selecting them. There are the big-name spots like the tabloid-famous A Little White Chapel, or the “king” of Elvis-officiated ceremonies, Graceland Chapel. But it’s not just for show, eloping couples, or even spur-of-the-moment decisions. Having a wedding in Las Vegas pleases guests by making the whole “destination wedding” situation about as easy (and fun) as possible. Also, to minimize wedding-day stress, just about every major hotel offers packages that include a chapel, your officiant and certificate of permission, rooms, food, and other matrimonial goodies. Fancy some extra flowers or a spa package to enhance the romance? Consider yourself accommodated.

And then there’s Lake Tahoe, one of the most beautiful locations in the world for a wedding (or really anything), where many talented wedding planners are available to take care of every detail for your special day. Several resorts on the sandy shores of the lake can also help you plan anything from a low-key ceremony at a beautiful mountain park to the most elaborate high-rise, lake-viewing extravaganza.

After a few trip plans didn’t work out tom.m.schroeder and I ended up with bikes in the northern Nevada desert camped next to a hot spring. The biking was epic and couldn’t ask for a better campsite.  On the way home we did a ride near Mount Shasta, California that also did not disappoint. #gravelbike #nevada #blackrockdesert #mountshasta #camping
And it’s one more day up in the canyons.

All aboard the hot mess express, let’s hike this railroad trail near Las Vegas 🚂🛤️🥾⁣
⁣
[SAVE this post for later!]⁣
⁣
Trail name: Historic Railroad Tunnel Trail⁣
Location: Boulder City, Nevada⁣
Distance: 8.2 miles out-and-back (or as far as you want to go)⁣
Difficulty: Easy⁣
⁣
Includes: ⁣
- 5 railroad tunnels, roughly 300 ft by 25 ft in diameter ⁣
- Panoramic views of Lake Mead, Boulder Basin, and Hoover Dam, with the South Virgin Mountains rising up in the distance ⁣

Teresa Lake, Great Basin national park.
.
This lovely alpine lake can be accessed by a short hike from the Alpine lakes trailhead. The lake, also referred to as a tarn, is surrounded by a grove of pine trees. The iconic Wheeler peak towers over the lake in this scene. The greenish tinge in the sky is from airglow.
.
The photo is a blend of the foreground shot at blue hour and the sky shot later in the night, from a different location in the park. The foreground is a stack of five photos, each shot at 24mm, f/8.0, ISO800, 6 second exposure. The sky was shot at 24 mm, f/2.8, ISO1250, 180 second exposure, tracked. Ten photos stacked.
