A Special Memory Wedding Chapel, Las Vegas

Subtle New England nuances in the heart of Las Vegas provides precious memories for couples in love.

Location: downtown

What's Unique About This Chapel: Country music buffs will recognize this chapel from Diamond Rio's video for "Unbelievable," while reality TV viewers will remember its appearance on "Who Wants To Marry A Millionaire." The chapel's charm has also enchanted celebrity couples, including radio personality/musician John Tesh and actress Connie Selleca, who chose the cozy Cape Cod-inspired venue as the site for their vow renewal.

The wedding office sits behind the chapel.

Traditional Wedding Packages: A veritable potpourri of wedding packages are available for couples, starting with the "A Select Memory," a budget-friendly presentation which offers wedding music, nine 4X6 photos which captures the ceremony for posterity, souvenir wedding vows, a limousine to transport the couple to the chapel and back to their hotel and a JUST MARRIED bumper sticker so newlyweds can proudly announce their status as husband and wife. Prices gradually escalate, culminating in the elaborate "Platinum Memory" package, which provides such amenities as a photo album to display 50 photos of varying sizes, dinner and tickets to a Vegas show, and two floral displays which can be sent to the couple's hotel suite( which is complimentary for one night)following the ceremony.

For a revved up romance, drive-through "I do"'s are also available at the chapel's drive up window. Couples simply pick the package which best suits their taste from the ala carte menu, which ranges from the inexpensive "Appetizer," which offers wedding music for the ceremony, to the more elaborate "Dinner" menu, which provides couples with two souvenir T-shirts, a keepsake photo, wedding music, a rose for the bride, a novelty license plate and a "Newly Wed" sign. If, like so many Las Vegas lovebirds, you feel that your Nevada nuptials would not be complete without Elvis, the venue offers two drive-through packages featuring appearances by "The King."

A Special Memory wedding chapel also offers several specialty packages, including patriotic-themed presentations, holiday wedding ceremonies, a honeymoon package and The Mazel Tov Wedding, which provides a chupah, a mazel tov glass, floral finery for the bride and groom, a video of the ceremony and 20 4X6 photos to commemorate the occasion.

Theme Weddings: Star struck soul mates can invite the "celebrity" of their choice to their nuptials, from the ever-popular King of Rock and Roll (as portrayed by impersonator Jesse Garon) to another well-known hip shaker, "Tom Jones." Marilyn Monroe knew that "diamonds are a girl's best friend," and an image of the famous '50's sex symbol can be on hand to witness the groom slip a sparkler on to his bride's finger, or couples can vamp up their vows with the mistress of the dark, "Elvira". These celebrity look-alikes, along with characterizations of Garth Brooks, Cher, Buddy Holly, Bruce Springsteen or Grandpa Munster will walk the bride down the aisle, perform at the ceremony and pose for photos.

Chapels: Inside A Special Memory chapel, sunlight streams in through stained glass windows adorned with floral depictions, casting a warm glow upon the groom as he watches the bride descend a spiral staircase, the train of her gown lightly sweeping the crimson carpet which leads to the altar. A chandelier which casts its light over ivory-colored walls dangles from a vaulted ceiling over oak-hewn pews embellished with scarlet padding for the comfort of up to 110 guests.

Utilized for more intimate affairs, up to 24 attendees can bear witness as the bride walks down a regal purple carpet inside the Royal Wedding Chapel, which is lavishly decorated with floral accents and violet-colored curtains that drape over warm ivory walls.

For those who prefer the outdoors to be their cathedral, the tranquil trickle of a fountain will provide a zen-like touch to nuptials held beneath the shelter of a decorated gazebo. The New England-influenced facade of A Special Memory offers a romantic backdrop to the lattice-embellished structure as the couple pledge their love.
