Never again
We chose Vegas because of our adult children. We wanted them to have a nice time as my husband to be was from England. I lived in Arizona and lets face it, we wanted everyone to enjoy themselves. It was the end of Dec., it ended up snowing in Vegas, I got the flu, the preacher was French and I still don't know what we agreed too. My bouquet which was part of the package began to fall apart during the ceremony, the heater was blazing and we all began to sweat. It just went on. Luckily for us we did get a video made and could watch to see what was said by the preacher and what we agreed too, although his accent was thick and he went on and on about things we know. We are both in our late forties and this wasn't our first time around the block. Eventually we remarried in our church Temple as we converted to the LDS faith. That was more meaningful and we celebrate that day as our anniversary. One of our children has married since then and decided the traditional church wedding was best after watching ours. Our daughter is engaged and is planning the traditional wedding as well. Our package came with a cake and limo. We had to get our license ourselves and standing in line running out every 3 minutes to puke wasn't fun. I am sure people thought I had a hang over. Never again. Never will I go back to Vegas because the memories were not happy ones. At one point the preacher asked if I was alright I looked so pale. I wished I could have understood what he was saying during the ceremony. The tape is nice but you have to strain to understand. Live and learn. We all did. Especially our children.

What a shame it's gone.
My husband and I were married there November 24, 1976. We were a few minutes early, went in and were asked if we would like to be the witnesses for the couple before us. It turned out to be "Dandy Don" Meredith and his bride. They stayed through our ceremony to reciprocate.

So sad its gone.
My wife and I are from England and got married at Candlelight on 21-09-94. I'm so sad to see that the chapel has gone. Its our 15th Anniversary this year and were thinking of coming back to renew our vows. Does anyone know any contact details for the people who owned the chapel.

Vegas wedding without the "Vegas" feel.
My husband and I were married there on May 14 1998. It was our first visit to Las Vegas and after spending a whole day looking for somewhere to get married, we looked out of our hotel window (Circus Circus) and my husband asked what was wrong with the little white chapel across the street. We went over to check it out and were very impressed. Not at all like a typical Vegas Chapel. Beautiful inside and out. They were very helpful. We will miss it.
