BTS Member Getting Married in Las Vegas!!!
Upcoming Las Vegas Wedding for a BTS member!!!
BTS is COMING TO LAS VEGAS!
And has SOLD OUT the Allegiant Stadium April 8th-16th 2022!!!
The ARMY will be landing soon!
If BTS coming to Vegas wasn’t exciting enough…a BTS member has announced an upcoming wedding for April 31st, 2022 with Chapel of the Flowers.
And the BTS member that will be getting HITCHED is……..
(DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!!)
JIN!!!!
Yes, as you know Jin has a passion and love of cooking, and last year in March 2021 he saw Robert Irvine’s Dinner Impossible episode called: “3 Weddings and a Robert”, which was filmed at the Chapel of the Flowers and couldn’t imagine a BETTER place to say I DO!
Jin and his “BRIDE TO BE” have chosen the most popular wedding venue option that we have called: The Glass Gardens.
He said he wanted to feel like he was outdoors because we all know of his love of Fishing.
And he is about to REEL his bride in to share their first kiss as husband and wife.
They’ve chosen the very popular Wedding Package from our Elopement Packages called Eternal Love.
The couple has decided to also use one of our more in demand services called the First Look. This is a service where the couple can get two different limos so Jin doesn’t get to see his lovely lady until she’s walking down the aisle.
But Jin is a romantic, and he wanted to take it a step further.
Robert Irvine cooked a meal for a couple in our Gazebo venue, and in honor of one of his chef mentors he decided to plan a candlelit dinner for two outside in the gazebo area.
Jin won’t be cooking this meal though–he wants to be fully present for his bride, and wants her to know she is his Queen. He wants to give her the world because to him she is the world.
(Awwwww…I’m not crying you’re crying)
All of us here at Chapel of the Flowers cannot wait to welcome BTS and more specifically Jin and his lovely bride.
Stay tuned for further updates and photos to come in the coming week.
“Kim Namjoon! Kim Seokjin! Min Yoongi! Jung Hoseok!
Married In Fabulous Las Vegas Sign
All of us at Chapel of the Flowers feel humbled and honored to have been able to be a part of creating some of those magical moments for the past 60 years.
And in the spirit of striving to be the #1 celebration company in the world we wanted to say Thank You in a BIG WAY and honor those couples that chose to tie the knot here in Las Vegas.
We couldn’t think of a better way than building our very own Las Vegas Sign to mimic the Welcome to Las Vegas Sign…but instead we have a Married in Fabulous Las Vegas Sign.
Over 5 million couples have said “I do” here in Las Vegas!
That’s right!
Over 5 million weddings have taken place in Las Vegas
Clark County issued its 5 millionth marriage license as of February 2022. This is a BIG deal as the Clark County Clerk’s office generates $2 billion annually to the local economy in weddings alone.
Here are some of the weddings we’ve been able to be a part of at Chapel of the Flowers.
From celebrities like Joe Jonas, Angelina Jolie, Bruce Willis, Cindy Crawford, Dennis Rodman, and many more to the couple that wants Elvis to pronounce them man and wife, to the fun, young couple that wants to share their first kiss as husband and wife under the bright lights.
Not only is this a historic moment for the city of Las Vegas, but it speaks to the magical moments that are created and celebrated here everyday!
The 5 millionth wedding license was issued!
The wedding license was issued to Patterson, California residents Mayra Ramirez and Luis Pantoja, according to a news release from the county and members of the Las Vegas Wedding Chamber of Commerce.
The celebration of the couple tying the knot was a part of a year long campaign, called “Five Million Love Stories,” to promote and celebrate couples that are a part of the Vegas tradition #foreverhappenshere.
“We’re so excited to be able to share this momentous occasion with Mayra and Luis, but it isn’t just this one couple, but the five million love stories of all the couples that came before and made the decision to marry in Las Vegas. It is their legacy that turned us into the Wedding Capital of the World,” Clark County Clerk Lynn Marie Goya said in the Sunday release.
The lucky newlyweds received so many amazing gifts to honor them and their special day, including a two-night stay and spa package at Paris Las Vegas, a key to the Las Vegas Strip, an autographed metal print of the new Marriage License Bureau Mural, a custom made official diamond five million love stories ring from Michael E. Minden Diamond Jewelers, $1500 roundtrip airfare on Allegiant Airlines for a return trip to Las Vegas, $150 dining certificate to Bootlegger Las Vegas, among other Las Vegas-based prizes, officials said.
The couple actually also received a special gift from us here at Chapel of the Flowers. We gave the winning couple a Luxurious Wedding Package, in the Wedding Venue of their choosing, which includes floral arrangements, photos of the ceremony + extended photo session, video of the ceremony, roundtrip limousine service, minister, a personal wedding planner and day of wedding coordinator, plus a custom unity candle experience, but they graciously passed the gift to another couple as they already had a venue and ceremony pre planned.
Celebrating the 5,000,001 Love Story at Chapel of The Flowers
Brianna Cloy and Trevin Patton, of Antioch California were given the free wedding package instead and they had an INCREDIBLE day!
Here’s a few images of them celebrating their special day with us:
The Patton’s were actually the 5,000,0001 love story here in Las Vegas.
Funnily enough the Patton’s had just decided to get their marriage license that day on a whim.
They had been engaged for about one years time, and traveled to Las Vegas for the first time ever for a car club they are associated with. But they decided to go to the marriage license bureau with no plans or intentions of actually getting married that weekend, it was simply just to get the license.
But, to their SURPRISE they were given a free wedding package, and chose to get married with us in February 2022.
We did however, provide the 5 millionth love story couple Mayra and Luis Pantoja with our incredible limousine service with one of our favorite drivers here Moe. Our staff was waiting at the marriage license bureau awaiting the announcement of the 5 millionth love story.
The couple had no idea that Chapel of The Flowers had arranged to surprise the 5 millionth couple with a ride in STYLE!
We were fortunate enough to capture a photo of Mayra and Luis in front of our Married in Fabulous Las Vegas Sign:
From all of us here at Chapel of the Flowers we are CELEBRATING YOU and toasting to you and your love story.
Thank you for being a part of the over 5 million love stories created here in Las Vegas, in the city we love so much!

Getting Married in Las Vegas: Your Marriage License Guide
Planning to tie the knot in the Wedding Capital of the World? Congratulations! Understanding marriage license requirements is crucial for your Las Vegas wedding. While some aspects of Vegas weddings can be spontaneous, getting your marriage license is one detail that requires careful attention.
Marriage License Requirements
First, let’s address the main question: Can you get married without a marriage license? The short answer is no – not legally. A valid marriage license is required for any legally binding marriage ceremony in Las Vegas. Here’s what you need to know:
Essential Requirements:
- Both parties must be 18 years or older
- Valid government-issued photo identification
- Both parties must appear in person
- $102 license fee (as of 2024)
- No blood tests or waiting period required
Getting Your License in Las Vegas
License Bureau Details:
- Location: 201 E. Clark Avenue, Las Vegas
- Hours: 8:00 AM – Midnight, 365 days per year
- Pre-application available online
- Credit cards accepted
Two Ways to Apply:
- Online Pre-Application: Complete forms ahead of time through the Clark County website. This speeds up the in-person process to about 30 minutes.
- In-Person Application: Complete all paperwork at the bureau. Allow approximately one hour plus waiting time.
Timing and Planning
Same-Day Marriage License:
Yes, you can obtain your marriage license the same day as your ceremony! However, we recommend following these guidelines:
- Allow at least 2 hours between license acquisition and ceremony time
- Consider peak hours at the bureau (10 AM – 4 PM are busiest)
- Pre-apply online to save time
- License is valid for one year from issue date
Special Situations and Alternatives
If You Can’t Get a License:
If circumstances prevent you from obtaining a marriage license, you have several options:
Commitment Ceremony
- Non-legally binding ceremony
- Keeps your planned celebration with guests
- Can be followed by legal ceremony later
Civil Ceremony Options
The Office of Civil Marriages offers simpler ceremonies for couples seeking a basic legal marriage. Important notes:
- Separate from the Marriage License Bureau
- Appointment required
- Basic, brief ceremony
- Limited guest capacity
Planning Your Vegas Wedding
For a smooth wedding experience, consider these tips:
- Book your ceremony venue before getting your license
- Bring all required documentation
- Consider scheduling your ceremony at least 2-3 hours after the planned license acquisition
- Review our wedding packages to find the perfect option for your celebration

Paw-fect Wedding Ideas: Including Your Dog in Your Special Day
Fetching, Begging, and Belly Rubs aren’t words that you usually associate with weddings… unless you are a dog lover. Your wedding day is a big deal, and all your loved ones should be there to witness your “I dos” – including your four-legged family members!

That’s why paying homage to your pup on your big day is so meaningful. Our experts at Chapel of the Flowers are sharing their favorite dog wedding ideas for your engagement, ceremony, and reception.
Wedding Roles for Your Dog
There are countless ways to include your dog in your wedding celebration. From “Dog of Honor” to “Best Dog,” here are some special roles your furry friend can play:

Planning Your Pet-Friendly Wedding
Chapel of the Flowers is a pet-friendly wedding venue located on the Las Vegas Strip. We welcome dogs (and cats!) to be part of your special day. Visit our wedding packages page or contact our planners to start planning your pet-inclusive celebration.
Frequently Asked Questions About Dog-Friendly Weddings
Should I assign someone to watch my dog during the wedding?
Yes! Designate a trusted friend or family member to be your dog’s handler throughout the day, ensuring their needs are met while you focus on your celebration.
What should I consider when including my dog in the ceremony?
Ensure your venue is pet-friendly, have a backup plan in case your dog gets overwhelmed, and practice any special roles (like ring bearing) beforehand.
How can I make sure my dog is comfortable during the wedding?
Choose comfortable attire, maintain their regular feeding schedule, provide plenty of water, and have a quiet space where they can rest.
What are the best photo opportunities with my dog?
Consider “getting ready” shots, first look photos, ceremony moments, and special portraits during cocktail hour when things are calmer.
Do I need special insurance if my dog is part of the wedding?
Check with your venue and wedding insurance provider about pet liability coverage. Some venues may require additional insurance for events including pets.
How should I prepare my dog for the wedding day?
Schedule extra exercise the day before, maintain their routine the morning of the wedding, and consider a grooming appointment a few days prior. Practice with their wedding attire and walking on a decorated leash.
What should be in my dog’s wedding day emergency kit?
Pack water, food, treats, waste bags, a favorite toy, any medications, cleaning supplies for accidents, and a backup collar/leash. Consider including a portable fan for outdoor ceremonies.
When is it best for my dog to leave the celebration?
Most dogs should head home after the ceremony and formal photos. Reception environments with loud music and crowds can be stressful for pets.
How can I involve my dog if they can’t attend the wedding?
Include them in engagement photos, feature them on save-the-dates, create cardboard cutouts for reception decor, or incorporate their image into wedding stationery and signage.
Should I do a trial run with my dog before the wedding?
Yes! Visit the venue with your dog if possible, practice their role in the ceremony, and test their wedding attire to ensure everything runs smoothly on the big day.
What alternatives are there to having my dog as ring bearer?
Your dog can be a greeter, participate in pre-ceremony photos, walk down the aisle with flower petals, or simply be a special guest in the front row.
How do I handle other guests’ allergies or fears?
Inform guests in advance that your dog will be present, keep your pet in a separate area during dinner, and ensure there’s adequate space for guests to maintain distance if needed.
