LAS VEGAS — Every year thousands of people flock to the “wedding capital of the world” to get hitched.
But whether the wedding is officiated by Elvis or in the picturesque landscapes of Red Rock, when is the most popular time of the year to get married in Las Vegas? The answers might surprise you.
Clark County wedding records show that every day in Southern Nevada, anywhere between 158 and 240 couples get married. So far in 2023, more than 41,000 couples were married.
Here were the most popular months to get married from 2019-2022, according to data from Clark County.
1. October
With the temperatures starting to drop from a typically blazing hot summer, fall is a great time to get married in the valley, especially outdoors. Since 2019, over 28,000 couples have gotten hitched in October.
2. November
More than 26,000 couples have said “I do” in Clark County during November since 2019. Like October, November is a great month for wedding parties to coordinate with the fall colors.
3. September
While warm temperatures are usually still lingering from the summer heat, couples can find reprieve up in Mount Charleston or one of the resorts and casinos that offer wedding packages.
From 2019-2022, more than 25,000 couples got hitched in the valley in September.
4. August
Over the last five years or so, over 23,000 couples have come to Vegas to get married in August.
5. July
With the heat skyrocketing in July, it might come as a surprise that this is when many people like to tie the knot. More than 23,000, in fact.
But that’s where Nevada’s indoor wedding venues come in handy, from the Little Vegas Chapel to Taco Bell’s wedding chapel on the Strip.
Honorable mention
April and May both consistently do well in the number of couples getting married. However, their numbers were impacted during the pandemic. In April 2021, only 226 couples got married in the valley, a sharp contrast to 2022, when over 6,700 couples were married.
