Chapels to the Stars: 4 Vegas Wedding Chapels Where Celebrities Get Hitched

Whether you want a budget-friendly, drive-through wedding or an extravagant gala event to tie the knot, there are lots of options in Las Vegas. As a matter of fact, about 120,000 people get married here every year. So, it’s not surprising that many of the stars have made Las Vegas their wedding location of choice, too. Take a look at who has gotten married in Las Vegas and where they decided to do it.

Wedding Bells Chapel

The Wedding Bells Chapel is one of the most discreet wedding venues in Las Vegas, which is why many celebrities choose to get married here. It is located just off the Strip with easy access to all the fun of this crazy city. Rock Star Tom Perry tied the knot at the Wedding Bells Chapel and the actor who played the son on Roseanne, Johnny Galecki, married his pregnant girlfriend here.

Graceland Wedding Chapel
The Graceland Wedding Chapel is where you can make Elvis part of your wedding. However, there are a variety of rooms to create any type of ceremony. You can also get your ceremony broadcast on the Internet for all your family and friends to see. Both Bon Jovi and Billy Ray Cyrus chose this chapel to tie the knot. Look for a Groupon getaway program to make the Graceland Wedding Chapel an affordable option for your wedding.

Little White Wedding Chapel
The Little White Wedding Chapel gives couples a fun backdrop for their wedding. Their five chapels include an outdoor gazebo, red carpet and pews, and a drive-thru. Both Bruce Willis and Demi More have gotten married at this chapel.

At 22 years old, Britney Spears married her childhood friend, Jason Alexander, at this Las Vegas wedding chapel. However, she didn’t wear the traditional white dress; instead, she opted for a baseball cap, a t-shirt that showed her midriff, and some jeans. The marriage ended only 55 hours later.

Little Church of the West

Located on the Southern section of the Strip near Mandalay Bay, the Little Church of the West has seen its fair share of celebrity weddings. It’s popular because of the gorgeous landscapes, and its close proximity to the “Welcome to Vegas” sign. Stars have been getting married at this chapel for a long time. For instance, David Cassidy from “The Partridge Family” married Kay Lenz here in 1977.

The Little Church of the West only seats 50 people, but that’s perfect for celebrities that want to have a low-key wedding with just family. That’s what Angelina Jolie did when she married Billy Bob Thorton in May 2,000. They both arrived at to the ceremony in blue jeans. Judy Garland also married Mark Herron in 1965 at a small ceremony. Other stars that have gotten hitched at the Little Church of the West include Mickey Rooney, Richard Gere, and Cindy Crawford.

Las Vegas is a fun place to take a vacation, and it’s also a fun place to get married. If you want to have a celebrity-style wedding, it’s a great option.
