Great Destination Weddings

(Grace) #1

Something for your guests


Let your guests join in the fun and get “fake married” – no,
that’s not a typo! They’ll love posing for a “I Got Married in
Vegas! Just Kidding” souvenir photo, which comes complete
with an authentic looking wedding certificate. Also sure to
surprise and shock their friends back home are “I Got
Arrested in Vegas” and “I Won a Million Dollar Jackpot in
Vegas” photos shot in front of a green screen courtesy of

Elvis & Priscilla
Who can believe it’s been 50 years since Elvis and Priscilla
married in Las Vegas’ glamorous Aladdin Hotel? While they
may not have had the most fairytale of endings, the iconic
couple’s wedding will go down as one of the most famous
nuptials in history, with a nod towards Las Vegas romance in
all its ‘60s glory.

Sneaking out in the dead of night to avoid hoards of cameras,
the two tied the knot on the 1st of May 1967 in an intimate
ceremony, before joining 100 guests for a Champagne
breakfast (... and breaking just a few thousand girls’ hearts).
Elvis and Priscilla’s quintessential Las Vegas wedding has
inspired couples around the world, even five decades on.

Here at GDW, we’re not sure what’s more fabulous – the
apparent love between the two, Priscilla’s big hair or the
thought of marrying Elvis... sigh. Whether you’re a fan or
you just enjoy seeing their kitschy wedding photos, this is
one wedding you can’t help falling in love with.

Don’t miss


Las Vegas is famous around the globe for its buzzing
nightlife and heart-stopping shows, making the hardest
decision when you’re in Las Vegas for a destination
wedding... what to see and do first! Foodies will love
starting a big night out with dinner at Food Network
star Giada De Laurentiis’s aptly named restaurant,
Giada, with its stunning views of the iconic Bellagio
fountains. Make your way down the road to
Caesar’s Palace to see the saucy, mind-bending,
acrobatics-cum-cabaret spectacular that is, Absinthe
or the tantalising and raunchy, 53X. The only thing hotter
than the talented strippers are the tickets so make sure
you book ahead. Fantastic day-trip options are the
glamorous Burlesque Hall of Fame, the Neon Sign
Museum where dazzling signs from Stardust and
Moulin Rouge make for a perfect selfie backdrop and,
of course, the almost endless list of casinos. Whatever
you do, make your new mantra, “it’s Vegas baby!”
