One of the most memorable places to marry is Vegas,Las Vegas Weddings Have Everything, Including The Grand Canyon. Articles but Las Vegas weddings don’t always happen inside a grand resort or a wedding chapel.  Many couples head over to the Grand Canyon to make their vows and there are a number of companies that provide wedding packages that include the Canyon as well as some of the amenities associated with a wedding. Most couples have a private ceremony in the Canyon and then host a grand reception back on the strip for all their family and friends.  Maverick Helicopter offers a package that provides limo service from your hotel to their terminal on the strip. A narrated helicopter flight takes you over Lake Las Vegas, Hoover Dam, Lake Mead and Fortification Hill which is actually an extinct volcano.  Once over the Canyon, you’ll descend 3,500 feet below the rim to a lovely spot for your ceremony.  They provide video of the ceremony, cake, and champagne before flying back over the Bowl of Fire and downtown Las Vegas to return you via limo to your hotel. Las Vegas Grand Canyon Tours also has a wedding package similar to Maverick, with pickup at your hotel and a helicopter ride to 4,000 feet below the Canyon rim.  Ceremonies are held on the bank of the Colorado River and their package includes cake, champagne, a rose bouquet for the bride, a rose boutonniere for the groom, the minister’s donation and the driver’s gratuity.Another choice for an unforgettable day is Heli USA. They fly the 45 minutes to the Grand Canyon from Vegas via helicopter and descend 1,500 below the rim.  Landing is a the Grand Canyon Ranch, where you’ll be taken by horse drawn wagon over the old Mormon Trail and its Joshua trees to the Ranch House for the ceremony.  In one of the most unique types of Las Vegas weddings, you’ll sip champagne, cut your wedding cake and then have the option of add-ins like a horseback ride or a night in the Honeymoon Cabin.  The package concludes with a flight back to Vegas and a ride back to your hotel. Regardless of what company you pick, if you’re aiming to be one of the many Las Vegas weddings that take place each year you’ll need to make sure that your marriage license is already handled and any paperwork needed is done. Once you’ve taken care of that, enjoy your once in a lifetime event in the eons old Grand Canyon.
