Have you always dreamed of saying your vows in a drive-thru chapel? Is your ideal destination wedding location in a city known for sinning? Are you planning on going to Las Vegas for a quick hitch? Probably not anymore! According to Bloomberg Businessweek, the recession has caused fewer couples to visit the city last year, let alone wed in Sin City. In fact, in 2010, Nevada's Clark County office issued 91,890 marriage licenses, down 16% from 2007. According to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, 37.3 million people visited the city last year, down from 39.2 million in 2007. In order the sustain the economic downtown, wedding chapels are shifting their focus from weddings to vow renewal ceremonies and commitment ceremonies for same-sex couples who can't legally wed. The bottom line: as the economy suffers, so does Las Vegas' wedding count...and probably the number of annulments! But don't quote us on that; we don't pretend to be annulment experts. If you want expert advice on event decor, however, give us a ring. (Get it? Pun intended!)
