From Strip ballrooms to Red Rock views and garden estates — a working wedding photographer's picks for where to get married in Las Vegas.
The best all-around wedding venue in Las Vegas is Emerald at Queensridge, which pairs an indoor Grand Ballroom with waterfall gardens and Red Rock views for up to 350 guests. For an outdoor garden wedding, The Grove is the top all-inclusive pick; for a classic Strip ballroom, the Waldorf Astoria hosts 200 to 800 guests; and for a one-of-a-kind ceremony you can marry 460 feet up the Paris Las Vegas Eiffel Tower.
Las Vegas has a venue for every kind of wedding — soaring Strip ballrooms, Summerlin country clubs with Red Rock backdrops, intimate garden estates and raw desert. The right one comes down to your guest count, your season (summer favors indoor or indoor-outdoor spaces) and the look you want in your photos.
Book early: most venues want 12 to 18 months' notice, and the most popular Strip and Summerlin venues book 18 to 24 months ahead for Saturdays. Outdoor venues run around a $2,400 minimum spend before catering. Here are the venues we love to photograph.

Plan on 12 to 18 months for most venues. The most popular Strip and Summerlin venues book 18 to 24 months ahead, especially for Saturday dates.
Outdoor venues average around a $2,400 minimum spend before catering, while all-inclusive and Strip-resort packages scale up with guest count and food-and-beverage minimums.
The Grove and Emerald at Queensridge are the top outdoor picks in the city; for raw desert scenery, many couples elope at Red Rock Canyon instead.
