All of our Ceremonies are performed by state licensed celebrants. Nevada State law requires all licensed celebrants to have a religious affiliation and also requires them to denote their title (Minister, Pastor and Reverend), as well as, the name of the Church at which they are ordained on the Marriage Certificate. The marriage is not recorded in any religious institution, only with the State of Nevada.

Our ministers can be contacted well in advance, allowing you to become acquainted with one another and begin collaborating on what will be the perfect ceremony vows.

The ceremony itself is non-denominational in nature with no religious content but can be modified to contain religious content if you so wish. This does not constitute a civil ceremony. Civil ceremonies are only available through the Clark County Courthouse. They are performed by a Judge or a Justice of the Peace and they are only performed at the Clark County Courthouse.

Venetian Wedding ceremonies may be performed by a minister of the couple’s choice, but that minister must be licensed in the state of Nevada.

Rehearsals

Venetian Weddings is happy to accommodate rehearsals for most ceremonies. All rehearsals must be scheduled in advance and are subject to availability. To ensure the ceremony occurs flawlessly, we offer a thirty-minute rehearsal to familiarize you with the location and sequence of events. Rehearsals are available for the majority of our packages.
