A Nevada Ghost Town Wedding Unlike Any Other
Nelson Ghost Town (also known as Eldorado Canyon) is surrounded by historic Eldorado Canyon remnants. Featuring weathered vintage buildings and Old West aesthetics, it sits just 45 minutes from Las Vegas and provides one of Nevada's most unique Las Vegas wedding backdrops.
The terrain is gravel and uneven desert — wear comfortable footwear for your arrival. Notable features include vintage barns, antique vehicles, a Cholla Cactus Field, and a historic rustic wedding chapel made famous by film and television productions.
For the most stunning photography, schedule your ceremony approximately 90 minutes before official Las Vegas sunset to capture the Canyon Glow — the soft, warm light diffused by the canyon walls that makes Nelson Ghost Town weddings extraordinary.

"We had such a beautiful wedding day with LVWC in the Valley of Fire and couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. Everything was perfectly organised from start to finish, and the team was always on time and professional. What we especially appreciated was that we never felt rushed — not during the ceremony and not during the photoshoot. Everything felt relaxed and natural, which made the day even more enjoyable. Everyone was incredibly kind and friendly, and they truly helped make our wedding day special. We would absolutely recommend LVWC to anyone looking for a stress-free and memorable wedding experience!"
"We were already planning to hike Havasupai and decided last minute to get married in Vegas on the way since our flight landed there. I was hesitant to book due to time restraints but Shawn and his fabulous partner made it happen!! Super nice, fantastic, knowledgeable people and we want to say thank you for making our day amazing!!"
"Shawn, Candice, Dirk, and Tom made our wedding ceremony in the Valley of Fire a stress-free and magical experience. They handled everything with professionalism and such positive attitudes. We really appreciated how easy the team made everything for us and our guests. We even were pleasantly surprised to hear recordings from our family who couldn't make it wish us well after the ceremony! The photos and video are so beautiful, they represent the beauty of our union and the Seven Sisters incredibly, we couldn't be more pleased with how everything turned out. Thank you!"
"We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect elopement experience! From the very beginning, the communication was outstanding—clear, timely, and incredibly helpful. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, and we felt completely supported throughout the entire process. The location we chose was the Valley of Fire and it was absolutely stunning, and everything came together flawlessly. The ceremony, the photos—every moment felt magical and meaningful. It was intimate, stress-free, and exactly what we had envisioned (and more!). We’re so grateful to the team who helped bring our day to life. Their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail made this such a special experience that we’ll remember forever. If you’re thinking of eloping in the Valley of Fire, do it—you won’t regret it!"
"Las Vegas Weddings is amazing. We are so happy with the ceremony, pictures, and location they provided for us! I had never been to Las Vegas - let alone the Valley of Fire State Park- prior to our wedding trip, and Las Vegas Weddings coordinated a ceremony that was even better than we had imagined. We are forever grateful to them for such a beautiful event. It was awesome to share our special moment with all close family and friends. It was definitely one of the best days of my life, in one of the most beautiful places I have seen. Thank you to our photographer, Shawn, for capturing our moment and our feelings on our day, and thank you to Bricia for officiating our ceremony...your professionalism and your thoughtful words were inspiring. We are truly blessed to have this experience and highly recommend Las Vegas Weddings. ❤️😀😍"
