Wedding chapels, venues and industry members across Clark County will kick off Veterans Day weekend and honor our military members as it brings back Las Vegas Marries the Military. All day Nov. 10, 2022, chapels and wedding professionals across Las Vegas and Clark County will open their doors to members of the United States Armed Forces (active duty, guards/reserves, retired and veteran) by donating wedding services. Submissions to win a free wedding or vow renewal are now open at LVMarriestheMilitary.com, and interested couples need to submit a 30-60 second video on what a Las Vegas wedding or vow renewal would mean to them by Monday, Sept. 30.
The Office of the County Clerk and Vegas Wedding Chamber put a call out valley-wide to the local industry to participate and received overwhelming support – 38 industry vendors have offered free services valued at nearly $50,000 with 20 weddings or vow renewals to take place. Las Vegas is rare in that it offers wedding services from the grand resorts and country clubs to the simple chapel wedding. The local wedding industry has come to support our military and are showcasing just the variety Las Vegas has to offer.
“Veterans Day is a wonderful opportunity to thank active-duty members and veterans and their families for their sacrifice on our behalf. Las Vegas Marries the Military allows us to offer a tangible ‘Thank You’ from our wedding community to these special couples,” said Clark County Clerk Lynn Marie Goya.
