Chapel of the Bells

• When you think of a traditional wedding chapel in Las Vegas, something like the Chapel of the Bells probably comes to mind. With more than 50 years serving happy couples in wedded bliss, the Chapel of the Bells has a variety of wedding packages to fit most styles and budgets. Walk down the same aisle that well-known celebrities such as Mickey Rooney, Leslie Nielson, Pele and Kelly Ripa have each been down in the past. You may even recognize this chapel from the Hollywood hit films "Honeymoon in Vegas" and "Indecent Proposal." The Chapel of the Bells makes it as easy as it can to get hitched; they will pick you and your loved one up from the hotel, take you to the courthouse to get your married license (don't forget that important detail), and then take you to the chapel. If you don't have your flowers picked out, they can help as well. You can also be married either by a non-denominational minister or by an officiant who will perform a civil ceremony. Whether or not you get married inside the famous chapel or outside in the lush garden is up to you; there are four deluxe wedding packages to choose from in addition to two basic packages.
