FREQUANTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  1. In General

    1. Reservations

      1. Q. Can we reserve the time and date for our wedding ceremony?

        1. Yes, you can, but we cannot guarantee it until you actually book it and we send you a confirmation. The earlier you book the better chance you will have of getting all your wishes. We recommend about six weeks lead time. While we can guarantee the date for your ceremony, you may have to compromise on the time of day within an hour or two for your ceremony, but once your time is confirmed, that time is guaranteed.

    2. Complimentary Limousine Service

      1. Q. How does the Complimentary limousine service work?

        1. The complimentary limousine sevice depends on the package, and consequently the chapel, of your choice. Generally, the limousine will pick you up at the hotel, deliver you to the chapel, and return you to the hotel.

      2. Q. Since the limousine service is free, how much should I tip the limousine driver?

        1. Limousine drivers live on tips. Most people give about $40 to the limousine driver, but the amount is strictly dependent on your generosity.

    3. Minister's Fee

      1. Q. I see that the minister's fee is not included in the price of the package; how much is the minister's fee?

        1. The Minister's Fee is really a tithe. A tithe is a traditional donation or "an expected donation" which is dependent on your generosity but is also expected to be of a certain minimum amount or more. For most people that use a package that costs below $500, or somewhere in that neighborhood, the expected amount is somewhere between $40 and $60. Since ministers are not paid for their services, it has become an expected practice to give that amount to the minister.

    4. Translations

      1. Q. Are translators available for all languages?

        1. No, but a German, or Spanish translator is available, through some of our chapels, for an additional cost of $100 to $200. Some of our ministers will perform the ceremony in Spanish, so there would be no additional fee.

    5. Photos

      1. Q. What about taking a video and/or pictures of our own?
        1. You may not be able to take your own video/pictures during the ceremony at some of our chapels, since the light from your flash may interfere with the in-house video taping system. Otherwise it is OK.

    6. Guests

      1. Q Is there a limit to the number of people that may attend the ceremony?
        1. If the wedding is held in the chapel then the number is limited only by the size of the chapel. Our chapels have capacities from 25 - 110.

    7. Formal Attire

      1. Q. Will we all need to get dressed before we get there, or is there a place to change once we arrive?
        1. Most wedding chapels provide a place to dress, however most people prefer to arrive already dressed.
      1. Q. Can you recommend a good and reasonable place to rent a gown and/or a tuxedo?
        1. Yes, your best bet would be to dress at the Shop, Renta-Dress and Tux Shop. They are reasonable, good, and they are very close to the Las Vegas Strip.

  2. LEGAL SECTION

    1. Marriage License

      1. Q. When are we supposed to get the marriage license?
        1. You must get your marriage license before the wedding ceremony. Some wedding packages provide limousine service from your hotel to the courthouse and then to the chapel. However, if you wait until an hour before the ceremony to get your license you may be cutting it a bit close.
      1. Q. What documents do we need?
        1. Any one of the following will do: State Drivers License, State ID Card, Military I.D., Original or certified copy of your birth certificate, or a Passport.
      1. Q. Can we bring our Marriage License from our home state?
        1. No, you must obtain your Marriage License in the state of Nevada if you are getting married here.
      1. Q. How do I get additional copies of our Marriage License?
        1. Call 702-455-4415. or goto: Ordering Marriage Certificate
      1. Q. Are there any fees?
        1. The marriage license fee is $60.00 (cash only). Copies may be obtained for $10 each.

    2. Renewal of Vows

      1. Q. How about if we are only renewing our vows?
        1. You don't need anything from the Clark County Court House. A minister need not officiate your ceremony.

    3. Divorced

      1. Q. If we have been divorced before, do we need to bring our Final Divorce Papers?
        1. No, all you need to know is the month, year, city and state of when the divorce was final.
      1. Q. How about if we have been divorced more than once, do we need to know all of the dates?
        1. No, you only need to know the most recent.

    4. From a foreign country

      1. Q. We are from out of the Country, what do we need to bring?
        1. In most cases, your passport will be fine, but some countries require additional paperwork for the marriage to be legally binding in that country.
      1. Q. Will it be legal in our Country?
        1. Yes, but you will need to get a certified copy of your Marriage License or an Apostil after your marriage has been recorded with the State. Both of these documents can be obtained from the Nevada Secretary of State. Please check with your local agency for exact details.
      1. Q. I know that in order to obtain an Apostil I have to send a $20 international money order payable to the secretary of state. But where exactly do I have to send it? Is it to the Clark County Recorder's office in Las Vegas or is it to the secretary of state in Carson City?
        1. You send an International Money Order, made out to the Secretary of State, to the Clark County Recorder's office in Las Vegas.
          Clark County Recorder
          P.O. Box 551510
          Las Vegas, NV 89155-1510
          The Las Vegas Clark County Recorder's Office will then forward your request with the money order to the Secretary of State in Carson City, Nevada. There is no way to send the money order directly to the Secretary of State in Carson City.
      1. Q. Also, is it possible to pay for the Apostil on the internet?
        1. No, it is not. An Apostille is not available for order directly over the Internet; only a certified copy of the marriage certificate may be ordered that way, and then only if the marriage was performed in 1984 or later.
