Ceremony Options- We've Made A Decision!
IP's Skyline Chapel! (Silver Sky Chapel)
We've booked Silver Sky (aka Skyline) Chapel for 4/20/13 at 3pm. We went with the most basic package $169 and upgrade to a live piano player for $30. We may end up paying for an outside photographer but I have some really amazing family and friends who I think will be able to get the shots I want (walking down aisle with my dad, ring exchange and kiss :)). They say family and friends can take photos as long as it's personal camera. Some have amazing (yet still their personal cameras) and I will let them know ahead of time what I'm hoping to get and let them know to move around if need be (although I think technically they aren't supposed to). With tax we paid 203.05 and will pay $75 cash to the minister the day of. Plus the marriage license $65.
So many options. We have yet to book a venue but I have gathered info from our contenders here.
Initially I was really into the idea of the ceremony at the LV sign. But because of a few reasons including our guest list is mid sized and this option seems best for small parties we nixed this idea. I still think it's cool and can be done for approx $350 (we found it on numerous sites here's one:

I still love the idea of getting married outside even in Vegas. This one is still a contender but I hate that it's '15 min off the strip'. We'd provide transportation for guests. http://lasvegaswedding4u.com/las-vegas-outdoor-weddings/lakeside-garden-wedding/
If we go with a chapel we'll prob take the advice of many a Knottie and end up at Chapel of the Flowers- I just don't know which package works best.

I didn't want a hotel chapel...I really didn't. I love love love the Flamingo site- I think it the Gazebo Chapel or maybe its the West Lawn... because just hours before he proposed Frank and I enjoyed beers at Sin City Brewing Co and sat outside. We had a view of the empty site and I forget how it came up but we agreed it was a beautiful location for a wedding. :) http://www.flamingolasvegas.com/weddings/flamingo-las-vegas/flv-locations-west-lawn.html
I also love IP's Skyline Chapel. It's GORGEOUS. But that's where Frank stays on his anual boys trip and I know it's kinda crumby. But seriously, the price (I hear there's an a la carte option but they haven't gotten back to me yet) is right and it's so pretty. http://www.imperialpalace.com/casinos/imperial-palace/casino-misc/weddings-imperial-palace.html We've agreed on Skyline Chapel. We're doing the Vegas Style Package (the cheapest one). $169. Upgrading to live piano player ($30) and depending on budget bringing in our own photogrpaher (outside vendor fee is $150) OR corssing our fingers our family and friends will get the kiss shot :) We'll all carry some alternative to flowers and I've been told by Veronica there will no
