Graceland Wedding Chapel is one of the most iconic chapels on the Las Vegas Strip, famous for Elvis-themed ceremonies and a storied guest book. Here is everything couples need to know before booking.
What makes Graceland different
Graceland Wedding Chapel opened in 1940, making it one of the oldest chapels in Las Vegas. Its claim to fame is the Elvis impersonator ceremony — a costumed performer presides over the vows while delivering a signature serenade. Plenty of notable couples have passed through its doors, which adds to the novelty without feeling gimmicky if you lean into it.
Beyond Elvis, Graceland also offers traditional ceremonies with a standard officiant for couples who want the fun chapel atmosphere without the themed package.
Package tiers and what they include
Packages typically range from a basic ceremony (officiant, witnesses if needed, simple flowers) to all-inclusive options that add an Elvis performer, photographer, video, limousine and a reception room. Budget roughly $200–$800+ depending on what you add. Always confirm current pricing directly since packages change seasonally.
- Basic ceremony: officiant and chapel space.
- Standard package: flowers, witnesses, basic photography.
- Elvis package: costumed performer, songs, photos and video.
- All-inclusive: limo pickup, full ceremony, photography and video.
Walk-ins, same-day and reservations
Graceland accepts same-day bookings and walk-ins when time slots are open, though weekends and holidays book up quickly. Getting your Clark County marriage license beforehand — $102, no waiting period — is the only real prerequisite. If you are planning a specific date, call ahead and reserve.
Photography at Graceland
The chapel's in-house photographers capture the ceremony itself, which is usually included in mid-tier and higher packages. For couples who want a more editorial, documentary style beyond the chapel walls — portraits outside at night or in the neon glow of downtown — bringing your own photographer adds a different dimension.

Tips for a smooth Graceland wedding
- Arrive 20–30 minutes early to sort paperwork and get comfortable with the space.
- The chapel is compact, so large groups may feel crowded — confirm guest capacity when booking.
- Weekday mornings tend to be quieter and cheaper.
- The Las Vegas night backdrop is excellent for portraits after the ceremony — plan time for a short outdoor shoot.
