Ever consider eloping in Vegas? Today, I chat with Victoria, who is one of the co-owners of the Sure Thing Chapel in Las Vegas. We talk about things like what the experience of getting married at the Sure Thing Chapel is like, how far in advance people should book, the types of packages they offer, and also just some general tips for eloping in Vegas. Victoria shares a couple of her favorite spots. She's lived in Vegas for 10 years. She shared with me some lesser known hot spots that she frequents and that she really enjoys. I know that some people might imagine getting married or eloping in Vegas as a kind of cheesy and an outdated approach. However, I do not think that this option of getting married at the Sure Thing Chapel is cheesy. It's a very chic and well-decorated, minimalistic space. Her Instagram is what prompted me to reach out to her, because the aesthetic was so good. I really wanted to learn more about what the Sure Thing Chapel was and how it got its start.
