203 Getting Married In Vegas w/Joni Moss-Graham!!

Clark County Marriage License Bureau

Las Vegas is the wedding capital of the world. Why? Because it’s easy and the only limitation is your budget and imagination.  Maybe a few laws as well… But otherwise, it’s all Vegas Baby!  So today’s podcast I get to talk with my good friend, fellow Las Vegas Territory member and wedding coordinator/planner/extraordinary professional, Joni Moss-Graham from lvweddingconnection.com  She is my go-to person for anything Las Vegas Wedding Related!

Did you know Las Vegas does over 300 weddings a day??  And that doesn’t include commitment ceremonies and vow renewals.  That’s just weddings!!  From simple Justice of the Peace to a walk-up chapel to drive-thru weddings to taking a helicopter out to the Grand Canyon or Valley of Fire (she has a secret spot in Valley of Fire only accessible by helicopter!), Vegas is the place to do it.

We also talk about commitment ceremonies for people who don’t want or can’t do an actual wedding for various reasons.  People are discovering the joys of Vow Renewals.  Maybe your wedding wasn’t what you really wanted because of budget or family reasons.  But now, after a few years, you want to recommit to that special someone and do it Your Way!  Vow Renewals allow you to do that.  Better, better, maybe fancier or with a different set of witnesses!!  Joni shares some of those ideas with up.
