  • If you would like to order additional flowers for your party, or if you would like something other than the floral arrangements included in your ceremony plan, our on-site, full-service Florist can create a custom floral plan/theme/design of your dreams, or you may upgrade to any of the pre-designed bouquets we offer. Please talk to your Wedding Planner for details.
  • We are not responsible for your flowers once they are taken off the property.

  • To ensure everything runs smoothly on your special day, please remember if you have opted to bring your own flowers—such as bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages, these must already be pinned or on wrists, and bouquets ready in hand for each wedding party member upon arrival at the chapel. Unfortunately, our team won't be able to assist with this on the day of the ceremony. Please also note that we are unable to accept deliveries or store flowers from external vendors.

Below you will see what we would suggest based on Las Vegas industry standard.

  • Photography is an extremely important part of your wedding day! It is our pleasure to offer World-Class Photographers to capture your special memories and tell the story of your commitment in stunning images.
  • CEREMONY and POST-CEREMONY PHOTOS: Most of our ceremony packages include Ceremony Photos. However, it is our post-ceremony Photography Sessions that have made us famous! We highly recommend adding a Photography Session to your wedding package. This will not only ensure that one of our World-Class Photographers is scheduled to be with you after your ceremony for a photo shoot in locations on our grounds, but these upgrades offer either additional Posed Prints and Enlargements or Digital Copyrights at a discounted price.

Please see below for more information on your Photo Viewing Appointment. Click here to learn more about our Photography.

  • Ever After embraces the Unplugged Ceremony concept. With cell phones and technology so readily available, it’s tempting for guests to have their phones or cameras out in an attempt to capture the event.

  • GUEST PHOTOS/FILMING: If the couple permits, guests can use their cell phones to take photos and record or livestream the ceremony from the comfort of their seats.

  • LIVE BROADCASTING: Please note your confirmed time is when your time in the chapel begins, not necessarily when the ceremony will begin. Please advise your online guests to be patient as you meet with your Minister, Photographer, and “Day Of” Ceremony Coordinator before the ceremony.

If your package includes live broadcasting, and there is an issue with the live feed, we will upload your video as soon as possible and extend your online viewing time as a courtesy. Please notify your guests of this policy and ask them to continue to check the website for your broadcast if they do not see it right away.
  • OUTDOOR CEREMONIES: Not all off-site wedding venues or packages include video and internet broadcasting. If for example your ceremony is to be held at the Gazebo off-site wedding chapel and it does include a Videographer and internet broadcasting, please note your ceremony will not be broadcast live. We will have your ceremony available for online viewing within twenty-four (24) hours from your ceremony time. We recommend asking your online guests to check the website for your broadcast availability or to plan to watch the ceremony on the following day.
