Wacky Weddings Las Vegas Style

Judy Wilson
Don't want a traditional wedding? Go to Las Vegas, the crazy wedding capital of the world. If you are looking for a weird, wild and crazy wedding experience, Vegas offers it. There is a drive-through wedding chapel, medieval weddings at the Excalibur Hotel or you can get married on a yacht. The hardest part will be choosing how crazy to get when planning your Vegas wedding.

You can get married by Elvis. The Aladdin Hotel Chapel has an Elvis wedding package where you are married and serenaded by Elvis. Elvis and Priscilla tied the knot in 1967 during an eight-minute ceremony at the original Aladdin. If you are a real Elvis fanatic, you can have Elvis walk you down the aisle at The Silver Bell Wedding Chapel where Elvis will also sing three songs and give you a satin scarf as a souvenir.

If an Elvis wedding is not your thing then you can get married atop the Eiffel Tower at Paris Las Vegas. The tower is set 540 feet above the famous Las Vegas Strip and the ceremony takes place on the 50th-story outdoor observation desk. Talk about an amazing view!

At Treasure Island you can be married on a pirate ship located in front of their hotel. Wedding guests can watch from an outdoor patio as the ships Captain performs the ceremony. Wedding Packages are available from $600 to $3500.

The Riviera Hotel & Casino offers some unique destination wedding locations. Their packages include wedding ceremonies at the Vegas sign, roller coaster weddings on top of the Stratosphere - which is 1,149 feet above the ground, and Harley Davidson Café weddings.

Venetian Wedding ceremonies take place on a bridge in a replica of St. Mark's Square or on a gondola complete with gondolier. The Cerimonia Sul'Aqua wedding takes place in an authentic Italian gondola, which is large enough to accommodate the bride, groom, witness and minister.

Beam me up, Scotty! Las Vegas Hilton's Star Trek Experience Wedding ceremonies take place right on the bridge of the USS Enterprise. You can have Klingons and Ferengi witness your ceremony and then have an out-of-this-world reception at Quark's Bar and Restaurant.

Another option is a Helicopter wedding package that offers the chance of a lifetime to say "I do" above the Las Vegas Strip, at the Grand Canyon overlooking the Colorado River or at Red Rock Canyon.

Where else can you find this variety of wedding options? Only in Vegas.
