Small & Affordable Weddings in Downtown Las Vegas
Downtown is where the paperwork happens.
All of Las Vegas →Downtown is where the paperwork happens. The Clark County Marriage Bureau sits a few minutes from Fremont Street, and because Nevada has no waiting period, couples who want the license and the ceremony finished inside one short trip start their day here. A license issued downtown in the morning is valid for a ceremony that same afternoon. Bring photo identification for both of you, and if either of you has been married before, know the month, year and state that the last marriage ended — the bureau asks, even though it does not want the documents. One adult witness has to sign afterward, so decide in advance who that will be. For the full rundown of ceremony types and pricing, start with the Las Vegas Weddings guide.

Downtown Las Vegas wedding FAQ
Can one of our children be the witness?
Nevada requires the witness to be an adult, so an adult son or daughter can sign. Younger children are welcome at the ceremony and can hold rings or stand with you, but the signature has to come from an adult.
What does a second marriage need at the Marriage Bureau?
You are not asked to produce divorce or death certificates, but you will be asked how and when the previous marriage ended. Write down the month, year and state beforehand so nobody is guessing at the counter.
