SPOOKY WEDDING OPTIONS LURE COUPLES TO WEDDING CAPITAL OF THE WORLD DURING HALLOWEEN SEASON
The Wedding Capital of the World™ is known for weddings of all descriptions—from quick and hassle-free to over-the-top elegant—and themed weddings tied to seasonal occasions are among its most popular options. The destination even counts history’s most famous monsters among those who have wedded here: the actors renowned for their portrayals of Dracula and Frankenstein—Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff—both married in Southern Nevada. Today, for couples with an affinity for the uncanny, Friday the 13th and Halloween weddings are on the rise in this city of lights – and shadows.
Fortunately for those drawn to a spooky theme for their nuptials, the Wedding Capital of the World caters to couples enchanted by romance’s eerier expressions:
Las Vegas Weddings features a “’Til Death Do Us Part” package at Nelson Ghost Town—a real Old West ghost town at Southern Nevada’s most famous gold mine, located 45 miles outside of Las Vegas. The rustic spot features a large barn, where spectral, ghostly figures have been seen lurking and where couples seeking encounters with the supernatural can book their special day. The special package includes an officiant and photographer attired all in black; 200-plus photos delivered via download link; special Halloween-themed ceremony, music, florals and cake; and the use of a coffin ring-bearer wedding box.
At The Little Vegas Chapel, the “Love at First Bite” package offered exclusively on Halloween includes a choice of officiants, including Elvira, the Corpse Bride, Darth Vader or a Vampire, as well as Halloween-themed florals, music, roundtrip limousine service, photography and cake.
Sure Thing Chapel features After Dark packages that include Hellvis—Elvis’ evil twin or maybe the ghost of Elvis himself?—a blood-themed spooky burlesque show and Wine Hearse for photo ops, where couples and guests can even enjoy champagne served out of a hearse carrying a coffin. ‘Til death, indeed!
