Reviewing the experience as a guest, hopefully this is helpful! I loved it, but here's what I would want to know as a potential bride or groom.
When guests get there, there is a waiting area to the side of the parking lot. It's a small space without much signage and there will likely be other weddings going on, so if guests aren't familiar, this would be a helpful heads up. There is, as I recall, only 1-2 benches for older folks and at high noon, not a ton of shade, so be forewarned if it's a hot day.
After the wedding ahead disperses (you will see other wedding groups), guests are ushered in to the chapel space. It's up one flight of stairs. I am not sure if there's an elevator. It seems from photos that there are a few chapel areas-- my party was in the one with red carpet that's across the driveway area from the Cadillac photo op area.
The chapel is small. The seats are loveseats that can only fit two adults. The seats are really charming, but they are vintage and embrace their age. I want to say there was seating for around 20 people? Some space to stand to the side, but not a lot.
Elvis was amazing and a truly talented officiant! Great voice, good stage presence, great crowd work. Really brought energy and passion. The ceremony was fast, but not rushed. Kitsch but not over the top. He took time with group photos and was really attentive and present.
Afterward, the crowd is ushered out to make way for the next wedding. There is limited space outside, so we quickly got group Lyfts back to the Strip. Be advised that the surrounding walkable area is not as dense as the Strip and there wasn't an obvious social area like a bar or restaurant within easy walking distance. The chapel is closer to the Arts District and Fremont, but will still need transportation. (Both areas will likely be much easier to find group reservations than the Strip, btw.)
Amazing experience overall! But if I were a bride/groom, I would pay extra attention to making sure guests have sunscreen, shade umbrellas, and water in high heat days, and designate someone for elderly guests. Also, set clear plans for what to do after the ceremony as the couple takes photos. Truly a fun, unique experience and the guests of all ages loved it.
