Yes. To have a legal wedding ceremony in Las Vegas, your ceremony must be performed in Nevada by an officiant licensed in Nevada. You also need a valid Nevada marriage license before the ceremony can take place.
Your officiant performs the ceremony, completes the marriage certificate, and is responsible for submitting it after the ceremony. If you need a Las Vegas wedding officiant for a simple elopement, private ceremony, or custom wedding ceremony, visit our wedding officiant page to review current ceremony options.
