Is getting married in Vegas really that tacky?

My fiance and I are considering Vegas at the Paris under the Eiffel Tower.





Just him and I, thats it. Staying maybe only 2 days because we have a young daughter, she will be a little over a year when we have the wedding. It is so expensive trying to have a ';normal'; wedding with the reception afterwards and all.Is getting married in Vegas really that tacky?
There are tons of people who go all out with Vegas weddings. The only people who call them tacky are the ones who don't like the idea, and thus their opinions don't matter.Is getting married in Vegas really that tacky?
Tacky? No. A wedding can be done extremely tasteful and elegant (depending upon the budget) in Las Vegas. Paris has some wonderful wedding packages for you to choose from, and they certainly aren't tacky. congrats and happy planning :)


EDIT: this is for other answers on here: I laugh at you (Mally) for being quick to say a Vegas wedding is tacky. How funny and ignorant of you! I dare say you probably have never stayed in a penthouse suite at Bellagio for 3 nights for your wedding festivities, had an entire design team from MGM Grand Hotel %26amp; Bellagio work on your reception decor (not just the flowers, but everything from custom lighting, custom dance floor, custom tapestries, etc.), probably didn't wear a couture wedding gown, probably didn't have a private room at 5 star restaurant at Bellagio for your rehearsal dinner, the list goes on....I would never look down upon someone for having a smaller budget than I did...that's not where I'm going with this...instead, I just find it funny how some people are so misinformed about just how elegant a wedding can be in Las Vegas. Just had to put that out there.
A wedding can be tacky anywhere.





We had an evening formal wedding in Vegas at a local church and the reception at one of the four star hotels in a ballroom. It was certainly not ';tacky'; at $150 a head.





Have the wedding you want!





Honestly, I know lots of people who have married in Vegas, some with large affairs and some small with family.
to me when people do that its dumb your not thinking bout your family and friends that want to see you get married, trust me when your family and friends are there to celebrate it its more memorable you can always take your honeymoon there......................
Some might think so but who cares... this marriage is about you and him! Do what makes you happy. I also think that it is smart to incorporate a marriage and ceremony when you are on a budget! Congrats!
no its not at all you get a wedding and honeymoon in one, youll have a great time and get everything you need in one place without stress. go for it
I wanted to go to vegas! My parents really wanted me to have a ceremony in a church so they said they would pay for it but if not I would have been in Vegas! Plus it's a fun story.
OMG not at all! Go to Vegas.com and look at the packages and options....you can get some amazing pictures, ceremonies and all that for cheap. Check it out!
I think it's a great idea. No stress, HUGE money savings, but the biggest thing...sounds like it's what YOU WANT to do. So, go far it.
No. Unless a fat guy in a rhinestone suit marries you. If its what you want then do it. Don't go into debt over one day.
Not at all. Getting married in Vegas you have TONS of options. Sounds like a romantic time.
Sure but it's fun. Go for it!
Yes, its pretty tacky. Sorry.
