We wanted a private wedding and this was intimate and just what we wanted. The venue was cute and well kept and so many lovely small touches.
The staff were helpful, the photographer was great at what he did and so the wedding was perfect.
I would recommend to anyone who wants to elope.

Seamless wedding and all made very easy by everyone we dealt with.
We only did the basic package but the bouquets and button holes were so lovely, the photographer was really nice and knew what he was doing. So all quick but great photos. Would recommend.
The grounds and buildings were well maintained.

Cannot say enough good things about our experience with these folks. We had our little 2 person gay wedding here and I just loved the staff and the place itself.
Honestly, I was a little put off at first by the website and some of the packages, but when the day came it was fabulous. The little church is so beautiful inside, the staff made sure we had a woman officiant (she was amazing!) and made us two matching bouquets. A bunch of our friends tuned in for the livestream so it was a really fun way for them to be part of the day.
We paid $350 for the digital copies of all the photos, which to me is just Vegas pricing. All in all, with tips and the photos, we paid about $700 for the day. A very affordable wedding all things considered! Highly recommend

When we reserved and made our request for our officiant to be a male, it was made clear to us that it was his day off, and I made a point to remember this inconvenience on his part. I also made mention that we would only be interested in the video and no need for a photographer.
The above mentioned details are what I want you to keep in mind as I make my point: officiant's time disruption for his day off, and initial decision to have little need for anything else but a video.
I will begin with the video. First of all - it was NOT a live stream. Second - it was filmed using only ONE camera angle. I was expecting the video to be multi-angle, as seen in other videos. When it became obvious after the ceremony that our virtual guests were not able to share the moment with us, my witness as well as others tried to notify your staff. My witness tried to discuss this with your staff, as they insisted that it was streaming and the video was uploaded, but my witness had to explain over and over that it was NOT! Meanwhile as this argument on my behalf was taking place, my husband and I reviewed the photography. We then found ourselves deciding to get the FULL photographic package, in addition to the video which was our INITAIL PRIMARY INSISTANCE. At this point, I would like to convey our happiness with the photographer. He went above and beyond at our request, obliging with a few additional pictures that were not able to be taken during our ceremony. Which leads me to my second point of dissatisfaction with the officiant and ceremony to include the exchange of rings. I am not sure how/why there was a disruption in our request and communication to have an exchange of rings performed. I will assume this became confusing to your staff as they heard our wedding party discuss the groom's neglect to remember the bride's ring. I assume the staff made a decision based upon overhearing, but NOT by any means for us to ELIMINATE that part of the ceremony! I assume this upon your staff as unbeknownst to them, WE THE WEDDING PARTY had already made our own plans to make sure that we would still EXCHANGE RINGS! The bride still had the grooms wedding ring to give, and the groom was going to use another ring as a replacement. That was our plan, as well as sending one of our guests back to the hotel to retrieve the ring, and perhaps arrive back in time. The guest and bride's ring did arrive back in short time, in fact ---- in time for the photographer to take lovely pictures or our "fake exchange" after the fact.
I realize that the officiant was inconvenienced for a short period of time on his day off, but there was absolutely no concession made for us. There was NO DISCUSSION about this revocation of exchange of rings! There was no conversation or concession to be considered for a slight delay, or to make him aware of "our back up plans". Somehow this decision to eliminate the exchange of rings was made - BUT NOT BY US!
I am TERRIBLY disappointed with the ceremony and the video. It did NOT capture at all what I was expecting my special ceremony day to be. I will be adding this bad review to other media platforms. We paid a great deal for elevated services, to be sure we got exactly what we wanted, and even provided gratuity as we were made to feel it was required. However, that gratuity was undeserved and the customer service was appalling. They lack compassion and any amount of accountability. It's business and NOT PERSONAL with this place and the staff!
I am the type of person who will not allow myself to be upset about these unfortunate circumstances on the day of our vow exchange. Afterall, the vows are the most important as well as the years that follow. However, I will not recommend this chapel as a place to be to capture the special occasion.

My daughter and her husband tied the knot here last weekend and I walked away with nothing but accolades to every employee that works there. From the Director of Operations, Dan; our wedding consultant, Laura; photographer, James; assistant manager, Katie and the minister, Domonic ~ this wedding went without a hitch and ever so beautifully! The Bridal Suite, the chapel (and even the clean restrooms) were a cut above what I had expected! We booked the High Roller package and didn't have to worry about a single thing. Our pictures were done and ready 4 days after the wedding . . . I don't know a photographer who works THAT fast! Thank you to all the staff at Little Church of the West from the bride, groom and me! ❤️💙

Avoid this place! We got married there years ago and had to take them to the Better Business Bureau because the owner was gaslighting me into thinking all their mistakes and lies were on me. They failed to honor my request to extend the length of time of the ceremony by a few more minutes and then told me that was not true when in fact, I spoke to them the day before to make sure of this. Needless to say, I complained and the owner did nothing but try to put all the blame on me. He had no sympathy and came across as very arrogant. I've heard and read others have said the same about this place. The photographs from the wedding consisted of half with my eyes closed.
I only got a handful of decent pictures out of the whole deal. GET MARRIED SOMEWHERE ELSE!

My now husband and I got married on 10/10/2020 which ended up being a ridiculously crazy busy day for weddings, at least in Las Vegas. We made all the arrangements from home in Pennsylvania. First thing you need to know is that we had an 'original' Vegas wedding plan that didn't come to fruition due to COVID-19 so we made this plan about 90 days out from our wedding date; our first Wedding and Reception had been planned over a year out. Not going to lie, was a little concerned because of how quickly we put it together but I have to say that EVERYONE at The Little Church Of The West did an incredible job, with everything. There was a lot of detail since we did a 'traditional' Wedding but with Elvis (of Course) and flowers, and a limo and a bit of coordination and they did it like it was nothing, again on a crazy busy day. My husband and I couldn't be more please and our guests loved every minute. Our Elvis was fun, our photographer was great and they really just made our wedding day a really smooth running, fun, enjoyable day. We will forever be grateful for them getting us in the schedule as late as they did so we could get married on our originally planned date and for them making it so easy and so perfect.

Our daughter wanted a quiet place to get married and chose this with her now husband.
All she needed was her dress, her rings and her husband. They provided flowers, photographer, music and reverend.

This is down past Mandalay Bay by the LV welcome sign. It is soooo cute. Wasn't open when I went (don't remember the time but it was past dusk). It's got a serene setup in the back and is perfectly decorated inside. It is super gorgeous. It has a
a parking lot too.

Hi, I was looking at the groupon offer, and was wondering what is a "Complimentary 30-day webcam"? Also, how much does a picture cost for download? I couldn't find the information on the website... Thank you, Best, Morgane.

Bonjour!
Nous prévoyons de nous marier "pour le fun" cet été et je voudrais savoir..
s'il est possible de le faire sans conséquence sur notre état civil en France?
S'il faut du coup passer par le "bureau des mariages" avant?
Si la cérémonie peut se faire en Français?
S'il faut des témoins? ( Les seuls que nous aurons seront nos 4 enfants)
Comment récupérer les photos du mariage et à quel prix?
Merci!

Are the licenses provide or do you come with it
Jammie H
Somerdale, NJ1 contribution
The licenses are not provided from the church. You need to have that with you when you arrive. It is a very easy process and you can pre-apply on-line and then pick it up when you arrive to Vegas. You can search Clark County Marriage License Bureau for more information.

hi,
just a few questions
do you have pick up service at all?
If Elvis performs the ceremony does he get the Minster tip? and who else do you tip? is it just the photographer?
I'm trying to help my dad plan a vow renewal for my mum when they visit in December
i think that's all the information i need at the moment :)

Hi!
Yes, we have limousine service with some of our packages. With the Elvis packages, you would have the option of having either Elvis or the minister do the ceremony. Whoever does the ceremony would receive the minister's fee. It is customary, but not required to tip the photographer, if you do, it is up to you as to how much to tip.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.

I was wondering do you tip the pastor for a vow renewal. If so how much is normal?
LittleChurchLV
Las Vegas, NV4 contributions
Hi Helen,
The minister fee is the same for a vow renewal or a wedding, it is $60 for smaller packages and $100 for larger packages.
Does a priest marry you
LittleChurchLV
Las Vegas, NV4 contributions
A licensed minister would be performing the ceremony. There are no priests available to do weddings outside of a Catholic Church.
Price of packages? How long is service ? How many guest can attend?

Thank you DanOCan, you answered this perfectly! You can see all of the packages on our website.
