Make Them An Offer They Can’t Refuse at ‘VEGAS MOB WEDDINGS’

Campy planning service combines the notorious days of Sin City with contemporary levity for an “old Vegas” experience.

“Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!”. Famously delivered by Al Pacino in THE GODFATHER 3, that line could also be applied to many relationships. So when you’re finally ready to tie the knot, VEGAS MOB WEDDINGS is there to seal the deal in style.

I first learned about VEGAS MOB WEDDINGS while appearing on Ron Garrett’s LAS VEGAS ROCKS radio show. Owners Heidi and Joe Marino were guests as well, albeit by phone call. I got to meet them in person at an album release party for E’Stefano DiSanto‘s THE LOST 45s a few weeks later.

Las Vegas is known for its tongue-in-cheek approach to nuptials. We have drive-through chapels, Star Trek Captains’ ceremonies, and of course the ever-popular Elvis theme. Your wedding can be officiated by zombies, drag queens, or just about any celebrity, living or dead.

Nothing is too outrageous when it comes to Sin City weddings. 98 Degrees singer (and Las Vegas resident) Jeff Timmons documented his 2011 marriage with an eye-popping spread for In Touch Weekly magazine. The groom was shirtless, flanked by members of Chippendales, while his new wife Amanda held court with bikini-clad cast members of FANTASY and Planet Hollywood’s PEEP SHOW. Even “Elvis” made a cameo appearance at the unique event.

So when it comes to having a memorable ceremony, why not be “married by the mob”? VEGAS MOB WEDDINGS is your doorway to a checkered yet colorful past. An actual former mobster or gun moll can officiate your knot-tying, if you so choose. These wiseguys will treat you like part of the family and ensure that your special day receives the respect it deserves. Or else!

There are a variety of options that allow you to design your own Mob Wedding ceremony. You can make or renew your vows in one of several Downtown chapels that work together with VEGAS MOB WEDDINGS. If you prefer an outdoor spot, location ceremonies can be arranged in landmarks like the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign.

Nelson Ghost Town, about one hour outside of the city, makes an excellent backdrop for outdoor mob wedding services. With its antique vehicles, crashed airplane (a life-size movie prop), dilapidated buildings, and a nearby underground mine, Nelson Ghost Town provides photo opportunities that will make you and your spouse the envy of your friends and family for a lifetime.

Do you want your wedding to soar? Then how about doing the deed with the help of a helicopter? VEGAS MOB WEDDINGS can arrange for your service to take place over a nighttime Las Vegas skyline, above Lake Mead/Hoover Dam, while zooming across the Grand Canyon or after landing in the Valley of Fire. Click here for the full list of packages and prices.

VEGAS MOB WEDDINGS provides a costumed officiant for wedding, commitment, and renewal ceremonies. They’ll arrive in a vintage automobile, provide a witness (free of charge) when needed, perform your ceremony, then record the necessary legal documents. The happy couple will need to procure their wedding license in advance.

Along with the actual ceremony, VMW offers a number of services and contacts to make your special day as slick as a Tommy gun. Fresh or silk flowers, limo transportation, notary services, dress rental, video recording, photography, and document copies all fall under their umbrella of additional services.
