Shanara & Craig flew in from Australia to elope in one of their favorite places in the world – Vegas baby! They reached out with a clear vision of what they wanted. Cute, candid fun. What we built together was a tight, three-hour experience that made their elopement night feel like them. Something a little less traditional and more memorable. If you’re mapping out your own Sure Thing Chapel wedding in Las Vegas, this timeline is a good blueprint. Bookmark it, save it, share it.




Here’s exactly how the night broke down:
If you’re researching a Sure Thing Chapel wedding in Las Vegas, it’s one of our favorites in Vegas. It’s kitschy glamour, part retro chapel, part disco lounge, built entirely for couples looking to escape the tradition and formality. It’s iconic, and it has way more range than people expect. Beyond the curtains of the main ceremony space, there’s a back room with its own personality that is so much fun. Unlike some of the other chapels in Vegas, Sure Thing makes it super easy as they skip the check-in process entirely. You just wait outside and they will call you in as soon as your time slot comes up.










After the ceremony, we headed to Fremont Street for that classic casino energy, neon everywhere, a little chaos, exactly the Vegas you picture when someone says “we eloped in Vegas.” From there, it was the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign for champagne and photos (a non-negotiable stop for pretty much every couple we work with, and for good reason).
Fremont Street is an easy addition to a 3-hour Vegas elopement. See our guide to where to take photos on Fremont Street.








Of course, a champagne pop at the Welcome to Las Vegas sign is an absolute must, and ring pops for an extra fun touch.








Your Vegas elopement isn’t complete without an In-N-Out run. Some animal style fries and a double double, and honestly, it might have been our favorite stop of the night. A perfect ending to the night. Shanara and Craig’s night is proof that three hours is plenty of time to make a Vegas elopement feel completely yours.
