Meeting and event venues in Nevada

Planning a wedding in Nevada

Nevada is known for making marriage simple: a county licence with no residency requirement, and ceremonies from a Las Vegas resort to the shore of Lake Tahoe. Beyond the chapels, the state offers grand hotels, desert landscapes and mountain lodges for a full wedding weekend.

When to marry

In Las Vegas, spring and autumn are the most comfortable seasons; summer is very hot, so outdoor ceremonies move to the evening or indoors. At Lake Tahoe, summer and early autumn are the main wedding months, while winter brings snow and ski weddings, with mountain roads that can need chains.

Getting guests there

Harry Reid International in Las Vegas has flights from across the US and some international routes. Reno-Tahoe International serves Lake Tahoe’s Nevada shore, and San Francisco or Sacramento are alternatives for guests from abroad. Guests from outside the US should check entry rules early.

Resorts, desert and lake

Las Vegas resorts offer ballrooms, rooftops and private dining rooms with every service in one place, and desert settings around Red Rock Canyon and Valley of Fire give a quieter backdrop. On Lake Tahoe’s Nevada shore, lakeside lodges and mountain resorts suit weddings among the pines.

Marrying in Nevada

Couples apply in person, together, for a marriage licence from a county clerk, such as the Clark County Marriage Bureau in Las Vegas; no residency is required and the licence is valid throughout Nevada. An authorised officiant performs the ceremony. Ceremonies in state parks or on public land need a permit.
