Las Vegas Wedding Chapel Offers Bagpiper

LAS VEGAS WEDDING CHAPEL OFFERS BAGPIPER

Las Vegas Wedding Chapel Offers Bagpiper.  Adding a wedding bagpiper to your Las Vegas wedding chapelpackage will amaze your guests and add a unique touch to your wedding day.  Vegas Weddings with a bagpiper are suitable for anyone, not just for our Scottish visitors.
The history of the Bagpipe in Scotland is not easy to trace. The Scots seem always to have played it and mastered it at an early date, almost as if they had contact with those Spartans of balance fame. The Scots are a quiet race, simply getting on with it and have never made any outlandish claims that they were the first to play a pipe or that their pattern was the best. Consequently, a start date is all but impossible.
The non-performing community is obsessed with the thirteenth or fourteenth century as a start date. The dangerous thing about the non-performing community is that they are almost the same incurable romantics as are the performing community. The one thing common with both communities is that they both dwell in Scotland, a land that created Hollywood and continues to ridicule much of piping history, holding it out as the music of the amadan or fool. One thing is for certain and this is that Scottish piping tradition seems to have come up out of England. Another is that Scotland is much embarrassed by the Bagpipe. So let us take a look at some of the myths and facts of Scottish piping and draw our own conclusions. Keep in mind that both communities have never been able to break with Victorian romance and that the accepted way to verify piping history in Scotland is the usage of the expression “said to have been” and “may have been,” especially if said by a judge of the Indian high court.

Las Vegas Wedding Chapels

Las Vegas Wedding Packages

Las Vegas Wedding Chapels offer wedding packages to suit any budget.  If you do not have the opportunity to visit the Las Vegas Wedding Chapels before making a reservation, here are a few things to know.

Misleading Websites
Some Las Vegas Wedding Chapels have beautiful websites to promote their business.  However, location it everything.  Use Google Maps street view to check out the property and surrounding area.

Photography
Ask any potential wedding venue to see the work of their in-house photographers.  Some wedding chapels hire a professional photographer for the images on their websites, but what you receive may not be as good.  Ask to see actual photos from a real wedding.

Flowers
Something that is often looked over with an inexpensive Las Vegas Wedding.  Check with your potential wedding venue to see what flowers are included in your wedding package.  Silk or real?  Are they mine to keep?

Guest count
Some Las Vegas Wedding Chapels are known to charge you for the number of guests who will be attending. 

Tax and Service Fees
The Nevada state tax is currently 8.1%.  Some wedding venues will also add on a service fee.  Be sure to check before making your non-refundable deposit.

Minister Fee
Most ministers in Las Vegas are independent contractors, so it is normal to have their fee advertised separately to the wedding package.

Tips
Always welcome but you should never feel obligated.


Most independent wedding chapels are located in the downtown area of Las Vegas.  The one exception is the Little Church of the West.  The chapel is on the registry of historic places and has been granted permission to be the only wedding chapel on the Las Vegas Strip.  Sitting on one acre of manicured grounds the Little Church of the West has been the choice for wedding couples and celebrities since 1942.

Honeymoon - New Zealand

Let’s face it: planning a wedding can be hard, and is sure to be stressful. Yes, you are planning a celebration of your love and it should be fun and exciting, but sometimes the planning itself can drain away some of that love and excitement. That’s why you get to plan the honeymoon, too. Our recommendation? Any time you start to think eloping might be the way to go, just to free yourself of the wedding planning, take a break and work on planning your honeymoon, instead. It’s a different kind of planning altogether, and you are planning an event solely for the two of you—not the two of you and all your family and friends. The first step in planning a honeymoon is to pick your destination. This is the beginning of a series of blog posts where we will highlight 5 international honeymoon destinations. Today’s destination? New Zealand!
New Zealand has a wide variety of activities. From swimming or sunbathing on the beach, to river rafting, to hiking or fishing in the lakes, you will be able to find something for both of you to enjoy. There are day tours of the island’s active volcanoes, and resorts that offer all of the amenities. You might even get luck and get to see the flightless birds that are native to New Zealand—the kakpo and the kiwi. New Zealand is perfect for outdoorsy couples who are looking for both luxury and adventure.
Another easy way to relieve some of the stress of planning your wedding is to let someone help you! Call us here at The Little Church of the West–we would love to help make your wedding day your perfect day.

18 Things To Throw In Lieu Of Rice

18 Things To Throw In Lieu Of Rice


We’re all familiar with the rice throwing tradition at weddings. But let’s be real, that is kind of dangerous. What if some of that rice got in your eyes? That were surely ruin a beautiful day. Also, rice is very dangerous for birds to eat. Unless someone cleans it up after the wedding, birds are going to be the only creatures flocking toward the mess. Not only that, but it’s so cliche to throw rice. Been there, done that. It’s 2015; let’s spice it up a bit. Little Church of the West has compiled a list of new, creative things to throw instead of rice.

Butterflies - Gather a bunch of butterflies in all different colors for a truly fairy tale moment.

Rose petals - This is a simple, yet sweet alternative to rice that will also leave the happy couple smelling wonderful.

Kabuki streamers - It will look as though fireworks have gone off as the couple walks down the aisle. These are actually very easy to make!

Bubbles - The is a cheap and fun alternative to rice that will leave your guests having the time of their lives. They also make for amazing photos as well.

Confetti - Colorful confetti just screams “it’s a celebration!” For the classier couples, have the guests throw silver or gold shimmering confetti.

Horns - Not only are these a great way for guests to express their joy, but add a twist by having them blow confetti or rose petals out of them.

Hearts - You can get really creative with this. You can have guests throw the Valentine’s Day candy hearts or simple little paper hearts as a safer alternative.

Herbs - Guests can throw rosemary and thyme to create a wonderful smell as they see off the happy couple.

Lavender - This is another alternative to rice that can leave the bride and groom smelling great.

Flowers - If the bride isn’t a fan of roses, guests can throw any type of flower petal.

Rope streamers - Guests can wrap these around their hands then twirl them around in the air to show their happiness for the newlyweds.

Sprinkles - For the sweet-toothed couple, colorful sprinkles can make for a fun alternative to the boring, white rice.

Pom-poms - For the crafty bride, fuzzy pom-poms can make for a fun and easy to clean up alternative.

Cowbells - Hang a cowbell on the back of each guest’s’ seat, so when the couple makes their grand exit the guests can celebrate by ringing the bells.

Flags - If you aren’t a fan of the racket caused by the bells, guests could wave hand stamped flags that say “Congrats!”

Before you can decide the best option for your guests to throw, you have to book your wedding at a fabulous wedding chapel in Las Vegas. Little Church of the West offers many affordable wedding packages that can accommodate every bride. They even offer various venues for brides that want a more unique and creative wedding.

Honeymoon Planning 101

Honeymoon Planning 101



When you hold your wedding ceremony at one of the beautiful Las Vegas wedding chapels, you are celebrating the joining of the bride and groom’s families. While this is a memorable experience for the couple, it’s the honeymoon that supplies the most enjoyment. The honeymoon is a relaxing getaway for the newlyweds to simply enjoy one another’s company. When planning your honeymoon, there’s a few things to keep in mind.

How much will you be paying?

We constantly talk about budgets in terms of wedding planning, but that’s because the costs can add up quickly if you aren’t carefully planning. The honeymoon is one of the more larger costs in wedding planning. It’s also unlikely going to be covered by either families. That means the price tag has to be covered out of your own pocket. First, you should find out if you or your hubby have any frequent flyer or hotel miles on a credit card. This can drastically reduce the cost of the flight. If you don’t already have a credit card that allows that, consider getting one to put all the wedding expenses on. This will rack up enough credit to give you some frequent flyer miles.

How long will you be staying?

You and your hubby will have to figure out how many vacation days are allotted from work. Keep in mind, you’ll probably have to take a day or two off prior to the wedding for any last minute wedding planning. Some brides will even take the whole week off leading up to the wedding. You’ll then have to decide when you want to leave for the honeymoon. Commonly, couples will leave the morning following the wedding. If you don’t have a lot of vacation days at work, simple do a weekend getaway and just take off the following Monday. You can always save up later on to take a real honeymoon for your first anniversary.

Where will you be going?

Both you and your man should write down a list of the top places you want to go. Write down about two or three options each and compare notes. Remember that a honeymoon is slightly different than a regular vacation. Perhaps, you’ve always wanted to go to Paris to see all the architecture and museums. Though Paris is a romantic city, sightseeing isn’t likely going to be on your agenda during the honeymoon. Most couples choose a warm place near the beach, so they can just relax and spend quality time together. Others enjoy the cold weather so they choose to stay in a cabin in the mountains.

Do you need a travel agent?

Sure, in today’s digital age, everyone will do the booking online. However, a travel agent can be extremely helpful. It’s fairly common that hotels will offer special deals for newlyweds. The travel agent will guide you to these places. Perhaps, they’ll even recommend a place you’ve never considered before. Travel agents are experts in all things regarding tourist season and weather. Wouldn’t you want to be sure you are taking your honeymoon to Cancun before spring breaks occur?

Before you can enjoy the honeymoon, you get to celebrate your love in one of the most fabulous Las Vegas wedding chapels. When deciding which chapel is right for you, consider Little Church of the West. They offer many wedding packages at different venues for a unique and unforgettable experience. For more information about wedding chapels in Las Vegas, contact 702.739.7971.
