A friend may be able to officiate your Nevada wedding, but they must receive proper authorization before performing the ceremony. In Clark County, a person who wants to perform one specific marriage must apply through the appropriate single-ceremony process, complete the required steps, and receive permission before the wedding.
If your friend has not been properly authorized before the ceremony, they should not perform the legal marriage ceremony. Couples who want a simpler option can book a licensed Las Vegas wedding officiant instead.
