My husband and I were married at the LCOW on May 28, 2008. Our ceremony was on a Wednesday so the chapel was pretty empty. We booked the deluxe package # 3. My flowers were beautiful and still alive over a week later. The DVD was ok, the chapel history is longer then our ceremony however, we wanted something short and sweet so it isn't a big deal. The photos from the church were nice. It was difficult to see which photo was best due to the small images on the proof sheet. We hired an outside photographer who was AWESOME so that was the least of our worries. If you are looking for a great photographer Keith at Capture Productions is it!!! The only complaint I have about the church is that they tend to tell you one thing and then just before the ceremony you are told a different story. This happened to us with wanting to do a sand ceremony. In Nov I was told we could and when I called to confirm it a few weeks prior to the wedding they said we couldn't do it. Overall, we were satisfied with the wedding there and plan to return to renew our vows on a future anniversary.

My husband and I travelled from the UK and married here on 25th August 2009.
We had reviewed several potential places on the internet and this looked the best.
As the previous reviewer has already said, once we saw the other wedding chapels we were so glad we had chosen this one as it is away from the main strip, in its own (small) grounds and very picturesque.

We ordered a mid-range package with a bouquet and button-hole, the DVD of the service and the 30-day web-cam. We went there on our own with no guests, so the web-cam and DVD were very useful for showing friends and family afterwards. The flowers (roses) were lovely (I just specified "red") and lasted well over a week.

Re transport, we didn't order a limo, just got a cab down from our hotel (the Bellagio) which took 10 minutes, and then got the Deuce bus back which provided the other tourists with some good photos.

We arrived in Las Vegas the Saturday before (the wedding was on the Tuesday) and went to the County Clerk's office to get the licence on the Sunday. Everything was very straightforward, we just needed our passports and $60. We also checked out the chapel on the Sunday so we would know where we were going. It was very quiet and we didn't see any other weddings going on whilst we were there.

On the day itself, we got there early and picked up the flowers, handed over the licence and signed the necessary forms. We didn't have a witness so the chapel provided a member of staff to sign the form. As there was no one else booked we just went ahead with the wedding early. We had the standard "here comes the bride" organ music (live organist!). We walked down the aisle together. The minister was very good and gave a very moving speech (in fact I cried all the way through). It only took 5 minutes and then the photographer came and took some pictures, of which we chose one pose. These took 6 weeks to arrive in the post which is the norm apparently, but we got the DVD there and then.

We then walked down to the Las Vegas sign which took a couple of minutes and had another tourist take some great pics of us.

All in all it was a fantastic experience and i would recommend it to any couple who aren't after a conventional wedding.

Another thing is that apparently this chapel will feature on a TV programme "Piers Morgan On... Las Vegas". We had been told that his team would be filming there that week but we didn't see him. Apparently he pretends to marry Paris Hilton...

Cheers!

We were married at the little church of the west in December 2008 and were really happy with all aspects of our day and the service we received.

We booked our service online and being from the UK, had quite a few questions about getting married in Vegas! Before our trip I sent many e-mails to the church with questions and requests and all my messages were answered promptly and with lots of useful information. I can't fault the service at all.

On the day itself, we were pleased to discover that the church is located at the end of the strip in a fairly quiet spot, away from the hustle and bustle of the main part of the strip. So glad we picked this church as a lot of the others that we had considered turned out to look really seedy from the outside and surrounded by strip clubs etc! At least the church of the West actually looks like a church and is away from the seedy side of Vegas. The grounds are fairly small but with a great couple of spots to take pictures, including a really pretty gazebo. We were able to spend as much time as we wanted taking pictures.

The staff were very welcoming and explained exactly how it all would work. I was pleased to discover that the flowers (I went for the standard bouquet) were amazingly fresh and pretty, and friends of mine have commented that my flowers were nicer than the ones they paid a fortune for at their own weddings! The inside of the chapel is gorgeous, lots of dark wood and fairy lights. It was Christmas, so it was also filled with poinsettias. We had requested a short (even shorter than normal) service and they obliged! The minister (Paul) was really nice and made the ceremony perfect.

They took loads of pictures for us to choose from. My only complaint is that they made us do a lot of cheesy poses which I hated, but there were plenty of others to choose from.

All in all, I can see why this place has been voted best in Vegas and will be back in a few years to renew our vows! I'd recommend it to anyone wanting to get married in Vegas!

I was married at Little Church of the West on June 18, 2009. There is a reason why they've been voted "Best of Las Vegas" for the past 12 years. The employees were professional and kind, the minister who performed our ceremony was outgoing and sincere, the photographer was top-notch, and the chapel and grounds were immaculate. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

My wife and I were married here on January 6th 2009. We were lucky enough to have visited Vegas a couple of months before and had checked out the chapel and spoken with the staff to ensure we selected the right package for us.

We did look at other wedding chapels in Vegas and on the whole a lot of them were very tacky, the Little Church of the West is a very nice location and not tacky at all. The ceremony is short and sweet and everything went without a hitch.

We went for the organist and the DVD in our package and also had flowers for ourselves and our families. I could not fault any of it, we were both really happy and thankful to the staff at the Little Church of the West.

We organised our own limo's and arranged for them to take us to the Las Vegas sign after the wedding (which is just up the road) for some photos of us and our families. I would highly recommend this to anybody getting married there as it provides a great backdrop for your photo's and your friends and family will love it too.
