A Las Vegas wedding may often be an occasion that takes place on the spur of the moment, a desire to get married away from the prying eyes of friends and family, or as the result of way too much alcohol. But Vegas is also a city that has everything you could ever need for any kind of wedding: from a low-key affair to one of luxury and all-out flair.
Bringing Vegas to You
Of course, expecting your family and friends to travel thousands of miles away isn’t altogether realistic. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t add a taste of Las Vegas to your special day. You can hire some fantastic male and female performers to greet your guests, help with serving become drinks and canapés, and pose for some very memorable photos indeed.
To really get the party started, you can hire dancers to put on a full choreographed performance that will make you feel like you’re in Vegas itself before your first dance- or after, if you’d prefer. You can even hire a hire a Marilyn or Elvis lookalike to really make your Vegas-themed wedding feel authentic.
Playing at the Table
Of course, you can’t have a Vegas-themed wedding (or any other Vegas-themed event for that matter) without at least one casino table to play at. Usually, these tables are blackjack or roulette, although craps is also an option. Your acts can help out here, too, helping to distribute the casino chips and fun money to your guests, as well as mingle and mix in the general casino area.
Elvis is in the Building
We’ve already mentioned him, but if there’s one person who comes to mind when talking Vegas entertainment, it’s the king of rock ’n’ roll himself, Elvis Presley. Of course, you can’t hire the man himself, but there’s no shortage of Elvis impersonators available. He can perform at your ceremony or the wedding reception. Accompanied by showgirls, Elvis can add that iconic touch to your Vegas-themed wedding.
A Little Bit of Magic
Hiring a magician would be another great touch to add to your Vegas-themed wedding. Their astounding tricks and illusions will leave your guests mesmerised. Providing memorable and unique entertainment is the hallmark of Vegas, and would be a great way to add yet more authenticity to your special day. A magician can keep your guests entertained during the wedding breakfast, photograph session, or event reception, as your guests will be curious as to what tricks the magic man will have up his sleeve.
Sinatra and Friends
Those legendary Rat Pack performers are another great source of classic Vegas entertainment. Old hits like New York, New York will have everyone singing in the aisle. You can book a single artist to perform the songs of Sinatra, or one of his buddies, such as Dean Martin or Sammy Davis Jr. These performers can entertain your guests throughout dinner with a big band backing them up, or a backing track if you’re working to a budget. And just like Elvis, they can be backed with showgirls adding an aesthetic flavour to the performances.
Wrap Up
Now you’re aware of the benefits that a Vegas-themed wedding can provide to those looking for not just a traditional wedding ceremony, but a wedding experience to remember. So yes, Las Vegas-themed weddings are definitely still a thing. Just as an online casino can’t beat the thrill of a live casino environment, you might think that a Vegas-themed wedding can’t beat getting married in Sin City itself. But with the right planning and preparation, it’s a lot closer than you might think.
