What It Means to Renew Your Vows in Las Vegas with Elvis

An Elvis vow renewal in Las Vegas is a symbolic ceremony led by an Elvis impersonator. It’s not a legal wedding. So if you’re not looking to get legally married, but to renew your vows or just have some fun photos and an experience, this is for you.

A lot of couples say things like, “we’ve only been married a year or two, is it too soon?” It’s not. There’s no timeline for a vow renewal. You can do it whenever you want, whether that’s one year in, ten years later, or just because you’re in Vegas and it sounds like a good idea.

Most Ceremonies Are:

-Short (usually 10–20 minutes)
-A mix of traditional vows and an Elvis performance
-Built around music, dancing, and a little bit of humor

Most of the couples I work with go all in with outfits, limo rides, and a full Vegas night after, because that’s the whole experience. Check out my 10 Ways to Customize Your Las Vegas Elopement. This is obviously geared towards elopements, but many of these tips can also be applied to a vow renewal.

Do You Need a Marriage License to Renew Your Vows in Las Vegas?

Nope! When you renew your vows in Las Vegas with Elvis, it’s completely symbolic. There’s no paperwork, no courthouse stop, and no waiting period.

You do not need a marriage license for a vow renewal. However, if you want something to commemorate the experience, you can obtain a Certificate of Vow Renewal (available through the Clark County Marriage License Bureau) for around $21 through the Marriage License Bureau. Totally optional, but a fun keepsake if you’re into it.

*The Bureau is open 365 days a year from 8 a.m. until midnight if you do want a certificate.

Best Chapels to Renew Your Vows in Las Vegas with Elvis

There are a handful of chapels that consistently come up when couples are searching for an Elvis vow renewal in Las Vegas. Each one has a slightly different feel, so it really depends on the experience you want.

One thing to note is not all chapels allow outside photographers. Some allow them, some allow them at a cost to you, and others don’t allow them at all. So it’s important to keep that in mind. If you have a specific photographer you want to work with, make sure the chapel you choose either allows them in, or you’re willing to pay the outside photographer fee.

The Little White Wedding Chapel

One of the most recognizable chapels in Vegas. You’ve probably seen it without realizing it.

Known for: Celebrity weddings and iconic signage
Vibe: Classic, busy, and very recognizable
Photography Policy: Allows outside photographers at no extra cost

Estimated cost: $150–$595 for vow renewals with Elvis.

I also have an Ultimate Guide to The Little White Wedding Chapel Las Vegas. It’s written with elopements in mind, but it’s helpful for seeing the different ceremony spaces and what to expect visually.

Sure Thing Chapel
& Sure Thing Too

Another favorite among couples who come to Las Vegas for elopements and vow renewals is Sure Thing Chapel. They don’t have a traditional Elvis impersonator, but instead a modern take with Lady Elvis.

Sure Thing Chapel actually has two spaces (Sure Thing Chapel and Sure Thing Too) right next door to each other. They each have their own layout and package options, so it’s worth looking through both if you’re deciding between them.

Vibe: Styled, playful, slightly retro
Photography Policy: Allows outside photographers at no extra cost

Estimated cost: $300–$700 depending on customization
