Minister fees, as mentioned, usually are higher at the hotel chapels, and at banquet facilities. Some chapels use female ministers for their ceremonies, so if you have a preference for either gender tell your chapel before booking. To See Fr. Phone 702 455-4446 for more information about this option. The Recorder's Office makes no charge for the temporary licensing.
Weekends are more costly however.
Ceremony time generally is 15 minutes or less at any of the private chapels, with ceremonies scheduled every 30 or 45 minutes, particularly on weekends. Afterwards, some private chapels can arrange a cake and non-alcoholic refreshments for you and your guests, at additional cost, and payable several days in advance. Formal cake and champagne receptions however are best restricted to the hotel chapels, or to separate reception locations, as few of the private chapels have dining facilities, or liquor licenses. Before you pay a deposit, be certain that you're thoroughly familiar with the chapel you've selected, it's location, what they offer, and who is going to perform the services advertised, re video, photos, limousine, etc. Even some of the large hotel chapels resort to contracting out for limousines, at additional expense to you, as they generally don't keep any on-hand for that purpose, whereas many of the private chapels routinely do.
