elvis weddings
 
Hello again. My husband, our little 4 yold daughter and myself are embarking on our trip from Australia to USA on Sunday June 6 and our first stop is Vegas. We thought as a bit of fun (albeit tacky!) we might renew our vows "elvis style"!!! Does anyone have any suggestions for a good deal?? We don't want anything too expensive. My husband is a videographer but it seems that you are unable to video your own...all as an extra. Any help with this would be great regarding chapels thanks!! I'm already laughing about this!!

My friend and her husband are renewing their vows "elvis style" here shortly -http://www.vivalasvegasweddings.com. I don't know why they picked this particular chapel. I do know that "Elvis" will be singing two songs (of their choice from his list of songs), that they haven't gone for the pink cadillac and that the ceremony will be available online for family and friends to watch live or later on.

thanks Carrie Ann! That is one of the ones we were looking at. I believe there are quite a few.

We just renewed our vows at Graceland Chapel in Las Vegas at the end of April. We had a blast! We chose the "HoundDog Wedding Package." I highly recommend it!

We renewed our wedding vows for our 5 year wedding anniversary at the Graceland Wedding Chapel in Vegas and had an awesome and extremely memorable time! We went with the "Can't Help Falling In Love" package as it included the DVD - something you WILL want to watch and share with family and friends over and over. Brendan Paul was our Elvis - he is the real deal!

Thanks coryandcarissa! Sounds fun! I've now received an email from the company "suggesting" minimum amounts for tipping each for the photographer, limo driver and "Elvis". It is not a custome we have in Australia but of course when in another country do as they do! However it was "suggested" that the minimum be $40 for each of these. Can some locals please advise your suggestions as we don't want to offend but feel $40 each seems a bit steep. The entire package is $300. Thanks for your help.
