We would 100% recommend Custom Las Vegas Weddings.We were travelling from the UK. Julie was fantastic! Everything was arranged for us with ease and we felt very reassured at every step of the process.Julie was able to arrange everything from the Flowers, Limo and Photographer. Hair and Make-up recommendations were also sent to us upon request. Julie went above and beyond for us, nothing was ever an issue.Our wedding day was absolutely perfect in every way thanks to Julie's attentiveness and professionalism. I would not have changed a thing. A very special, perfect memorable day for us.The photographs are stunning and we received many more pictures than expected.I cannot thank Julie enough. We are so very grateful for everything. If i could give more stars i would.
My husband and I, (married 4/27/2023) decided to elope to Las Vegas but we didn't want a typical small chapel wedding on the strip. A Google search led us to Julie Nourish of Custom Las Vegas Weddings, and we are very glad that it did.Julie made everything so easy from booking the venue, coordinating the photographer and limo to doing the actual service, (we had a non-religious) and she even provided tips on applying for our license as well as getting the certified copy afterwards.Julie was responsive, easy to work with and has a pleasant and professional demeanor. There wasn't a "T" left uncrossed or an "I" left undotted and the ceremony itself was meaningful and beautiful. We would highly recommend her to anyone having a Las Vegas area wedding.
Julie Nourish went out of her way to make me happy for our wedding. She was great at communicating. Things that I requested was kind of out of reach but she made it happen. Thanks for being a part of our amazing day Julie!!!
Julie was absolutely fantastic! If you’re an out of state bride and hesitant to book there is NO need to worry. We came in from NY and was a little wary to do this since you know how online stuff can be and wasn’t sure if it was legit. Julie made everything super easy and was always available to answer questions we had via phone, email, or text. We had a secret elopement with just the two of us and we couldn’t have been happier with how the day went! She’s got this down to a science and it all went very smoothly. The photographer Jack and florist Luz were wonderful as well. Jack made the whole thing a lot of fun. Luz was so so sweet and did an amazing job on the flowers. We’re so happy we found Julie to put this all together! Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts. 💖

How are services customized?
If our customers want to customize their services we have conversation with them first about the ideas and options we suggest. Then the customer can modify the package based on their needs and guest count and circumstances. If they want to add in a la carte services, they may do so. For instance, transportation, design elements, video, more photos, a cake, etc.
How involved in planning do the customers get to be?
It’s important for our customers to be fully involved in the details and decision for their wedding. Most people choose our services because they don’t want to have to think about too many details or be too restricted about their choices. Most of our clients choose to be very involved in planning for their wedding. We always welcome their input and creativity.

What’s not involved in the planning services you offer?
Our clients are primarily Las Vegas destination wedding couples, traveling to Vegas from other cities and countries and don’t live in Las Vegas. Sometimes, they do want pre-wedding meetings and if they do, there is an hourly a la carte charge for that service. For the destination wedding couple we recommend clients use online conferencing, email and phone to go over details.
We keep pricing comparatively affordable and cater primarily with couples who want to elope in Vegas. If you are needing reception planning we do collaborate with other full-service planners and will refer people who are looking for that kind of services in touch with my associate planner. The service quote we work up for clients will specify the services provided.
Our services are a departure from the cookie cutter chapel wedding services in Las Vegas. Being an independent Las Vegas elopement planning service, we provide more flexibility to think outside the box and offer unique elopement add on services to make your event special at a more affordable price point. For example, adding décor for a romantic setting and scheduling other periphery services.

How involved are you in the day of wedding experience?
You can count on us to help you plan your wedding day. From the time of booking, we are reaching out and guiding every step until it’s all over; if need be for an extra set or flower arrangements because let’s face it- nothing looks worse than having empty spaces where flowers should go! A few days before -in case anyone has any last minute questions-, then just one final touch beforehand means everything towards making sure everything goes smoothly during such special times together as marriage proposals begin with “I Do”
How far in advance do couples need to reserve services with you?
Our clients should give at least a months’ notice when they want to reserve one of our venues. More advance notice will secure better results and if you plan on waiting until 3 weeks before the wedding day, it may not be as likely for that venue availability since most people request services within this time frame. You needn’t worry about making full payment right away though because all costs are finalized 3 weeks prior!
Do you handle all the contracts and payment processing for clients eloping in Vegas?
A quote and contract is drawn up for for our clients to view, approve and sign. The quotes are itemized for clients. Some Vegas wedding venues require the clients sign the contract directly with the venue but we do facilitate sending the documents and helping keep track of signing and payment to the venues on behalf of the client. We also correspond with vendors for our clients, facilitate and oversee all the pertinent permits needed and pay the vendors on behalf of our clients.
Do you handle rentals for clients?
We schedule and set up the vendor rentals for each event. This includes the scheduling, correspondence with the vendors for scheduling the rentals, delivery, arrival and set up, and breakdown of rentals. A good example would be for props to be used for custom photo events, floral items, decorations such as chairs, floral, musicians, etc.
What is the deposit for booking a wedding?
All venues and vendors require a different deposit. Deposit terms will be specified in the venue contract the client will sign. We collect all the data and ensure the correct deposits are paid for by the client to reserve the venue and vendor services they want. Initially, we collect a wedding planning deposit which is a retainer for services. The deposit amount will be determined by the services procured.
When is the final payment due?
The final payment is due 4 weeks prior to the event. If the client initiates services within the 4-week timeframe of the event, the full amount is due then.
Do you help the clients pay the vendors?
Yes, we handle the planning and payment on behalf of the client for the vendors. The more services the client receives, the more itemized the invoice will be and the client will be able to see the charges for each service received.
Are there additional fees clients should know about?
Because we have the client agree to a quote, they will have all the charges up front when they sign the contract. The only time there would be any additional charges would be if the client requests more a la carte services after the quote has been signed. In this case I will revise the invoice and the client will see the charges and agree to them at that time.
What happens if the customer needs to change the date of the event?
As the elopement event planner, we will step in and advocate for the client to re-arranged the services and change the date or time. I just ask the clients to try to give me at least 3 weeks’ notice, if possible. I have often done this for clients and it’s dependent on many factors, not the least of which is whether the date is available with all the vendors and venue as well as my own schedule. This might happen if the couple has to postpone or change the event date.
Is the deposit or final payment refundable?
The planning fees are not refundable as it is considered a planning retainer for the event. The initial planning deposit is taken as a retainer to pay for wedding planning services that are rendered before the wedding takes place. Planning for an event requires behind the scenes office work, outreach to vendors, scheduling the venue, helping the client sign contracts, taking payments, email correspondence, creating the itinerary and much more. The planning is done prior to the 3-week timeline before the wedding day. For this reason we do not refund the planning fee to clients.
The final payment for the event and venue is typically due within the 3-week timeframe prior to the wedding. At that time, if the final payment has been made, it becomes non-refundable. If the wedding needs to be rescheduled, in most cases the venues will work with the clients. Each venue differs in their credit and refund policies. It is best to clarify these details from the venue before you book to know what to expect if there is a disaster beyond your control.

You don’t have to sacrifice that childhood dream. Have the ceremony right as the sun is about to set, and take photos along a scenic drive one of Las Vegas’ scenic parks. This is a great idea if you are looking for a Las Vegas wedding venue for a small occasion. Imagine those beautiful dusky orange and red hues of beautifulRed Rock canyonfor instance, as a backdrop against something borrowed and blue.

Being able to customize your experience is not the standard experience many couples find when they start searching in our city. Many chapel weddings will not allow customization of wedding packages. They force you to stick to the packages they offer, which is more of a cookie cutter approach. You may not want to settle for that experience if it means you are losing out on the greatest experience possible for your dream wedding. You might prefer to have your vintage wedding experience in Las Vegas, for instance.
