Planning Your Wedding Remotely
Thank goodness for the Internet and phones. Without them, planning your micro wedding or elopement from thousands of miles away could potentially be scarier than doing the Edgewalk at the CN Tower.
Luckily, the convenience of email and telephones means you can be comfortably bundled up lakeside in a Muskoka chair while planning your Las Vegas wedding.
In the lead up to your special day, experienced wedding experts and top-notch vendors do everything in their power to deliver the destination wedding you’ve envisioned.
If a catch up is needed then you’re only a phone call or email message away. So really, remote planning a wedding isn’t so daunting. Remember, you have someone on location in Vegas who’s on your team. It’s their job to take care of the details so you don’t have to worry.
Sorting the Legal Stuff
Talking about visas and legal paperwork isn’t sexy. But it’s essential. Failure to get visas and a marriage license can mean no wedding at all. Here’s what you need to know.
Visas
In most circumstances, Canadian citizens do not require visitor, business, transit or other visas to enter the United States, either from Canada or from other countries. There are, however, some exceptions to be aware of. Get the most up to date info before your travel dates.
You’re responsible for finding out what visas you, your partner and any friends or family need. Do this before booking any part of your wedding or organizing a marriage license.
We’re not visa experts. If you have questions about entering America for your wedding, contact the US embassy or a legal practitioner in your country of residence.
Las Vegas Marriage Laws
Despite the city’s “Sin City” nickname, there are laws that you must follow to ensure your marriage is legal. These include:
- Both you and your partner must be at least 18 years old
- You should not be related to the person you intend to marry
- You should not already be married to someone else. Bigamy is illegal.
A couple of other useful things to know when getting married in Vegas:
- LGTBQIA+ marriages are legal.
- Blood tests aren’t necessary to get a marriage license.
Getting a Las Vegas Wedding License
You need an approved and valid marriage license authorized by the Clark County Marriage License Bureau. A license costs $102 and getting hold of this essential bit of paperwork is quick and easy.
1. Fill out the pre-application online form, which you can find on the Clark County Nevada website.
2. When you arrive in Vegas and before your wedding date, you and your partner must go to the Clark County Marriage License Bureau and present a legal form of ID. Accepted ID include: driver’s license, passport, US or foreign country ID card and military ID.
3. As long as you’ve completed the pre-application form online, you should head to the Express Lane at the bureau. Your paperwork and ID are checked and upon approval, you’ll get your marriage license. This is given to your officiant before your wedding service.
That’s it. Three steps and you’re all done.
Making Sure Your Marriage Is Recognized in Canada
According to the Government of Canada website, “Marriages that are legally performed in a foreign country are usually valid in Canada, and you do not need to register them in Canada.”
This means you shouldn’t need to register your marriage once you return to Canada. As long as you’ve followed the steps for a legal Las Vegas wedding then you’re good to go as far as Canada is concerned.
Your Officiant
The person conducting your ceremony must be registered to officiate weddings in the state of Nevada. Cactus Collective Weddings works with a variety of modern celebrants. They’re warm, welcoming and forward-thinking. They also have a knack for finding the right words.
Most simple elopement services last around 10 minutes and involve a welcome message, the exchange of legal vows and a few closing words. Extra readings and personal flourishes are easily added so you have what we call, “a custom wedding ceremony.”
Custom ceremonies involve extra organization and more of the celebrant’s time, meaning the cost goes up a bit.
Ceremony Locations
Vegas may be famous for its wedding chapels, Elvis impersonators and drive through wedding windows, but there’s an entire industry beyond the in-and-out high volume chapel options.
We are especially proud of our gorgeous outdoor venues located in some of the American Southwest’s most beautiful landscapes in and around Las Vegas. You may think we’ve got nothing on the dazzling beauty of Banff National Park, but maybe a gander at a few of our outdoor gems will change your mind.
Valley of Fire State Park
Located around 90 minutes from Downtown Vegas, the Valley of Fire State Park is a sought-after venue. Special permits are needed for each of the four ceremony locations. And only a handful of wedding planners have those permits. Fortunately, we’re one of them. Striking red sandstone rock formations are the backdrop to your special day. Between your officiant, photographer and (if required) on-site host, we’ll make sure you get the absolute most from this naturally stunning location.
Cactus Joe’s Blue Diamond Nursery
You can’t get much more local than saying your “I do” at one of the largest cacti nurseries in Nevada. Book Cactus Joe’s Blue Diamond Nursery and your ceremony is held in a cute, hand-built pink chapel that’s big enough for the two of you, your officiant, and your closest family and friends. After the service stroll the beautifully landscaped desert garden, complete with Western-style cacti and Joshua Trees. Your photographer captures all the special moments. As the exclusive wedding permit holder for this special venue you can be certain we know all the best photo spots.
Red Rock Canyon
The natural colors at this epic desert landscape are stunning across all four seasons. From a professional photography point of view we love how much there is to play with at Red Rock Canyon, so we always get awesome photos during your wedding shoot. Cactus Collective Weddings is one of the 15 wedding companies with a commercial wedding permit to book weddings and photograph here. We’ll help you organize your service at one of the designated sites. Choose from Ash Spring, The Overlook, Red Spring, and the Visitor Center as your backdrop.
Eldorado Canyon
Want somewhere truly different? Consider Eldorado Canyon, aka Eldorado Canyon Ghost Town. It’s an eclectic mix of abandoned barns, retro vehicles, rusted gas pumps and the most beautiful cholla cactus field we’ve ever seen. The result is a wedding location that’s unlike anywhere else in Vegas or Nevada. If you want offbeat and irregular, this could be the location for you.
Dry Lake Bed
A flat, beige-colored landscape might not sound like the most romantic wedding venue, but Dry Lake Bed in Boulder City is the perfect blank canvas. Not only does every drop of color in your wedding day outfits, florals or extra decorations pop and look stunning, but it has a unique serenity and intimacy. Have your ceremony here and whether it’s just the two of you or a wedding party up to 50, it’s easy to feel like you and your love are the only people in the world.
Floyd Lamb State Park
A true desert oasis, the vivid green lawns, gardens and lakes in Floyd Lamb State Park are a welcome sanctuary from the Mojave Desert. At this beautiful park venue you exchange your vows at the water’s edge with Sheep and Spring Mountains within viewing distance — a reminder that the desert isn’t far away. Weddings held in the fall are especially beautiful as autumn colors sweep in.
The Bellagio

- Accommodation, dining and spa facilities make it a great all-in-one Vegas ceremony option.
The Neon Museum
Are you looking to include some real Vegas history in your wedding? Then the Neon Museum is for you. Say “I do” surrounded by iconic neon signs that blazed up the Strip in years gone by and enjoy an offbeat ceremony site that’s truly unique and full of playful photo opportunities.
- Located in Downtown Las Vegas, close to trendy restaurants and bars for your reception needs.

Extra Touches for Your Day
Having a micro wedding usually limits the number of extra touches you need to organize. But having a destination wedding doesn’t mean ditching every flourish. There’s still room to personalize your day. Some added extras help your special day run smoothly (from our experience) while others bring the pizzazz.
Videography
Reliving your special day through video is one of the surest ways to always remember the joyful feelings and emotions of your Las Vegas wedding.
Professional videography of your arrival, ceremony, vows and post ceremony celebrations will capture the entire scene for you to keep forever.
Relive your wedding through a 2–3 minute highlight video as well as the full video of your ceremony. This is a very popular add-on.
Additional Photography
Many memorable moments happen outside of the ceremony itself. Lots of couples choose to have photo coverage that tells the story of their entire day.
We offer options that cover special moments from getting ready, the first look, at a second location, during your reception, while taking a walking tour of the city and everything in between.
Behind the Scenes Photo/Video
A great way to get all the social media content you crave is to pick a Behind The Scenes add-on.
You’ll get a collection of all your shareable moments captured by a dedicated social media specialist. This is different from your regular photos and videos as it’s raw iPhone footage and unedited candid shots taken with Instagram and TikTok in mind.
The turnaround time on this footage is super quick and you’ll have it available to cut up and edit as you wish shortly after your wedding day. Keep it for yourselves or post it online. This is another popular add-on with our couples.
Bouquets and Floral Decorations
There are a few reasons why you may incorporate flowers into your day.
- Flowers are a simple way to weave your chosen color theme into decorations.
- They’re versatile, so can be used for bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres, and large and small arrangements.
- They add extra life and color to your photos.
If you choose one of our desert wedding venues, every pop of color in your flowers will stand out against the natural backdrop. As a little something extra, the florist we work with includes succulents in his arrangements.
They wrap them carefully so you can replant them once you get home, which is a sweet memento.
Your new houseplants should be allowed into Canada if you declare them upon entry and if they are carried in as part of your baggage or household effects, you do not need phytosanitary certificates or import permits.
Cake and Champagne Ceremony Celebration
Cap off your ceremony by popping the cork on a bottle of bubbly. An elegantly decorated treats table stocked with your choice of cake, donuts, cupcakes and sparkling wine is a fun, memorable and photogenic way to celebrate your nuptials.
It doesn’t get much classier or more celebratory than enjoying a sparkler in your gorgeous outdoor venue complete with a beautiful display table adorned with flowers, a decorative rug and a “just-married” style sign.
The flowers will match your color preferences. And don’t worry, you can have your champers and drink it too. We’ll provide a prop bottle for shaking and spraying and the real thing for pouring into your flutes.
In keeping with our Leave No Trace best practices, this service add-on uses glass flutes, none of that flimsy disposable plastic drinkware. This ceremony celebration blows anything the cheesy chapels in town offer out of the water.
Wedding Transport
Transport is an easily-overlooked wedding detail. Whether it’s just you and your partner, or the two of you and a group of guests, you need transport to get to your venue and then onto your reception.
For out-of-town locations, we strongly recommend booking private transport. There are several options you can explore.
If it’s just the two of you, you could rent a car and drive yourselves or hire a chauffeured vehicle.
If you’re bringing guests, book a minibus, party bus or coach to bring everyone to your wedding venue. This prevents the risk of someone getting lost and delaying the wedding.
Hair and Makeup
When you look good, you feel good, which is why you might consider booking a professional to help with your hair and makeup. You can hire mobile hair and/or makeup professionals to come to your accommodation, or find a local salon.
Wherever you decide to have your pamper time, let your servicer know if it’s just you, or you plus your wedding party and close family.
Ceremony Music
Live music during a ceremony creates the perfect vibe and environment for an intimate wedding. It provides entertainment for your guests as they gather and await your arrival and during the signing of the marriage register.
Your musician may also take requests, giving you a chance to hear a piece of music that’s significant to you and your partner.

Where to stay — for Couples and Guests
Las Vegas has a range of accommodation styles that suits all destination wedding budgets. If it’s your first time here, search for accommodation on The Strip, Fremont Street and Downtown. These areas put the bright lights, shows, restaurants, bars, clubs and casinos on your doorstep.
Las Vegas is more than just The Strip, so if the Strip isn’t your scene, consider nearby areas such as Summerlin, Henderson and Spring Valley. Here you’ll find comfortable, quality hotels such as Red Rock Casino and Resort, the JW Marriott and Green Valley Ranch.
All of these suburbs are filled with modern dining experiences, plenty of shopping opportunities, outdoor activities and local events.
If you’ve flown south, you’ll need to rent a car or use rideshares/taxis to access these parts of town. But you’ll be happy to know driving around Vegas is nothing like dealing with the infamous congestion in Toronto.
If you’re a public transport type, there is a city bus operated by the Regional Transportation Commission, but it’s not very convenient and trip time is usually triple what a car can do it in.
Paris Las Vegas
Situated in the heart of the Vegas Strip, it doesn’t get any more romantic than this. Swoon over each other (and the view) during dinner at the Eiffel Tower Restaurant.
The French cuisine is incredible, and because it’s so romantic, there are probably more marriage proposals here than anywhere else in town. Snag a table by the window and sit 110 feet above the Bellagio fountains as you peruse the 1,200 label wine list.
The viewing deck is also a romantic spot, as are the cobblestone streets of the shopping district, Le Boulevard, which feels like roaming through the real city of lights. You Quebeckers might also feel right at home, eh?!
Crockfords Las Vegas, LXR Hotels and Resorts
One of only three Crockfords in the United States, this is consistently one of the best luxury experiences in the city. Prices compare well with the other 5-star resorts, but you get more bang for your buck since it’s a newer property.
Couples will enjoy the elegance and exclusivity while also being situated on the larger Resorts World grounds, giving you access to the amenities in place for the Hilton and Conrad portions of the property.
Silverton Casino Lodge
Going off-Strip should always get you a better room rate. That’s always been true at Silverton. They’ve also got a fun outdoorsy, woodsy theme which might go over really well with couples visiting from the Northwoods.
Check out the Mermaid Show inside the Aquarium, voted Vegas’s best free attraction. There’s also a giant Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World and a very solid all-you-can-eat-buffet. Guests can take advantage of a complimentary shuttle to the airport — one of the best perks in town!
Bonus: The local enclave of stores and restaurants along Blue Diamond Road offers pretty much anything you need without relying on the overpriced sundries shops on The Strip.
Bellagio Hotel and Casino
Steve Wynn took everything he learned from The Mirage and parlayed his success into Bellagio. The 77-acre property has some of my favorite things on the Strip.
Fashioned after the village of Bellagio on Lake Como in northern Italy, it boasts a fine art gallery, the world’s largest glass sculpture (a magnificent piece by Dale Chihuly), a wonderfully appointed and ever-changing conservatory and the famous dancing fountains.
Wynn originally wanted a French-style resort. But the casino magnate became so smitten with the real Bellagio on a trip with his friend (and famous Canuck!) Paul Anka, that he scrapped 10 months of design work to start over in order to replicate one of the most stunning regions in the whole world. At a cost of 1.6 billion dollars, Bellagio was the most expensive resort on Earth when it opened in 1998.
Red Rock Casino Resort and Spa
Built and opened at the height of the extravagant pre-Great Recession building boom, Red Rock Resort quickly became a local favorite. More than a billion dollars was spent to make this Summerlin resort as impressive as any of the 5-star mega resorts on The Strip.
Rooms feature open floor plans, plenty of natural light and awe-inspiring views. Looking for a sheet of ice while in Vegas? Downtown Summerlin’s City National Arena is the practice home of the Vegas Golden Knights of the National Hockey League, and offers open skate sessions and skate rentals. Be sure to register ahead of your visit.
Caesars Palace
Vegas doesn’t get any more iconic than Caesars Palace. Shortly after opening in 1966, stuntman Evel Knievel cemented the casino as an American legend.
Crash landing while attempting to jump his motorcycle over the fountains in front of the property put Caesars Palace on the map. I’d tell space aliens crash landing in Southern Nevada to go to Caesars.
Everyone has to go to Caesars.
Circa Resort and Casino
Stag parties will love it because of the world’s biggest sports book. Stagette parties will love it because of Legacy Club, with the cocktail lounge and terrace offering intimate spaces and beautiful sunsets.
Everyone will love it because of Stadium Swim, the only outdoor pool fully open year round in Vegas. Circa is the first new casino to open in Downtown Las Vegas since 1980. The long wait was worth it.
MGM Grand
This monster property has everything you could ask for when going wild with your crew. Wet Republic rocks as hard as any pool party in Sin City. Emeril Lagasse’s New Orleans Fish House leads the way for 14 restaurants.
Hakkasan Nightclub’s celeb DJs will keep you dancing all night. And the country’s largest Top Golf will serve as your fitness center for those who need to always be on the move.
Local and Nearby Honeymoon Ideas
Part of what makes Las Vegas such an attractive wedding destination is that it’s also a fantastic place to honeymoon.
If you’re planning to stick around for your honeymoon after your wedding, here are a few ideas of things to see and do while you’re in town, venturing into other parts of Nevada or heading for nearby cities in neighboring states.
Arts District
The 18b Arts District is a collection of galleries, street art, bars and theatres that stretch more than 18 blocks (hence its name). The defining feature is The Arts Factory.
This converted warehouse is home to more than 20 galleries and art studios, along with small gift stores and spaces for poetry and music readings. Visit 18b.org to see what fairs, markets, shows and events are happening during your visit.
Museums, Vegas-style
Vegas is home to weird and wonderful museums such as the Mob Museum — the only museum in America dedicated to the history of organized crime. You’ll also find The Neon Museum in Vegas (where retired Vegas Strip neon signs RIP), Zak Bagans’ The Haunted Museum, and the Erotic Heritage Museum. This last one is home to the world’s largest sex bike. Only in Vegas, right?
State and National Parks
You may have just got married in one of the Nevada state and national parks. But exploring the various trails isn’t ideal when dressed and prepped for your wedding day.
Both Red Rock Canyon and the Valley of Fire have hiking and bike tour trails that vary in length and difficulty. Don’t fancy being that active? Enjoy one of the picnic areas for lunch and a stroll, or camp there for a few nights.
For boating, swimming or fishing try Cave Rock or Echo Canyon. Or get a glimpse of pioneer life at Buckland Station, Ward Charcoal, Ovens and Spring Mountain Ranch state parks.
Got a little more time on your hands? You’re also close to Zion National Park in Utah (around 2.5 hours drive) and Joshua Tree National Park, where the Mojave and Colorado deserts join (around 4 hours drive). Of course you must see The Grand Canyon while you’re here. It’s well-worth booking a helicopter tour from Vegas over the Grand Canyon.
Lake Tahoe
Travel a little further afield to the Nevada-California border and you’ll find the stunning Lake Tahoe. The crystal clear lake, surrounding snow-capped mountains and pine forests are a recipe for romance. Driving takes around 8 hours from Vegas or you could catch a flight to Reno-Tahoe International Airport.
Some other honeymoon hotspots you’re close to while you’re near Southern California include Disneyland, Los Angeles and world famous beaches along the Pacific coastline. Well, it would be rude not to check some of these out while you’re here.
Southern California
When singing about a California sunset Neil Young once called California the land of beauty, space and light, promise and might. If you’ve come south from Canada for your Las Vegas wedding you might want to hang a roger and head to SoCal and its beaches, movie studios and other attractions for your honeymoon to see what the Canadian-American rocker was getting on about.
Perhaps after the happiest day of your life you’d like to visit the happiest place on Earth — Disneyland! There are two parks to visit there: California Adventure, stocked with Pixar’s rides and attractions, and the original Magic Kingdom, filled with the park’s legendary characters and spaces.
The major metros of Los Angeles and San Diego boast world-famous beaches along the Pacific coastline. The beach towns beckon honeymooners with their palm trees, tourist shops and laid back vibes. And a sunset drive along the Pacific Coast Highway is the stuff that rock songs are made of.
Film buffs may want to take a studio tour. Universal, Paramount and Warner Brothers are the three biggest. They each offer a full dose of Hollywood history, behind the scenes access and potential celebrity sightings.
We could write a whole book about what to see and do in SoCal. Suffice to say, there’s plenty for honeymooners to do while soaking up the California sunshine and some of its world famous wine!
Phoenix and Scottsdale
Arizona’s biggest metro is also within reach for Las Vegas visitors. Check out some of these possibilities.
Couples who like to shop till they drop will find plenty of places to do so. Scottsdale boasts the best shopping in Arizona with more than 2,500 luxury retailers, one-off boutiques, and upscale malls. Old Town Scottsdale is home to dozens of gift shops, Native American jewelry stores and Scottsdale Fashion Square, the Southwest’s largest shopping destination. And in north Scottsdale, Scottsdale Quarter and Kierland Commons delight shoppers with high-end stores in sunny outdoor settings.
Golfers have nearly 200 courses to play while in the Valley of the Sun. Bring your clubs or rent them. The golf courses are open year round. Taking your swings amongst the mountains, arroyos and saguaro cacti is something worth trying at least once.
Arizona’s spas offer a range of wellness retreats to suit every style. Are you all about the views? Or do you prefer five-star luxury treatment? You’ll find spas specializing in everything from their meditative qualities to locally inspired treatments.
Looking to strike it rich on your honeymoon and get your marriage started off with a golden bang? The gold deposits are legendary and Arizona’s recreational mining laws make it easy for hobbyists to try their hand at panning or metal detecting while exploring local rivers and streams without any special permits or licenses required.
Flying from Canada to Las Vegas
There are daily flights from each of Canada’s cities to Las Vegas, making it a very accessible wedding destination. Here’s a rough idea of the flight times from each of Canada’s airports to McCarran International Airport, Las Vegas.
| Depart from | Estimated travel time |
| Ottawa | 7 to 9 hours |
| Toronto | 4.5 hours |
| Montreal | 5.5 hours |
| Quebec City | 8 to 11 hours |
| Vancouver | 2.5 to 3 hours |
| Calgary | 2.5 to 3 hours |
