Shalimar Wedding Chapel

Do not use this chapel, staff has NO idea whats going on.

My husband and I were married in this chapel earlier this week and were very pleased. The limo driver was very nice and cooperated with picking us up in VIP at Caesars Palace even calling the hotel personally to get permission to do so. The chapel was pretty. The roses were beautiful and fresh. The ceremony was amazing and our family from all over the country were able to view the ceremony via webcam. It was all in all a great experience and exceeded our expectations.

We got married at this chapel last Saturday and we loved the location , service and the staff, the whole thing was way better than we expected and we were pleasantly surprised.



Our wedding coordinator Monica did a fantastic job coordinating the whole thing including the pictures and flowers .

we will definitely go back with our family to renew our vows .



Thank you Shalimar

Getting married at the Shalimar wedding chapel was definitely fun and the staff were excellent.



The limo ride was great and the limo driver was very nice , the chapel itself was beautiful and we loved the colors , the bridal bouquet was beautiful and it matched our colors , the staff was the greatest , very sweet very patient and very professional , they are all about customer service , the minister was super nice and give us the option for the religious or non religious ceremony which it mattered to our family members .

The whole experience was great and first class from beginning to the end ,We would definitely consider going back for a renewal one day. This chapel was everything we wanted to be ,you will not be disappointed!



Special Thanks to Nancy for making our day even more memorable .

My wife and I got married at this chapel this past Friday and it was Wonderful .



Limo was new and clean and the driver was on time and professional .



The chapel was the best we have seen in Las Vegas , it was clean and beautifully decorated ,even the colors match my wife's dress .



the planner/photographer was very nice and patient , we had the package B with 18 pictures and when we got home to view the disk we had 32 pictures instead which made my bride very happy , we also purchased all of the optional photos at the end and they are totally worth it .



The flower bouquet It was given to my bride was beautiful and fresh .



the ceremony was very nice , our minister did an awesome job and we were able to say our own vows.



We loved the webcam be sure to take advantage of this service ,my 8 year old had to stay home with grandma due to school ,but she got to watch mom and dad getting married live .



My family absolutely loved it and said it was the most fun they'd ever had at a wedding.



We can't wait to renew our vows here!



Special Thanks to Nancy for making all this happen .



Thank you

Justin and Monica

Worst place ever! The photographer did not know how to take pictures....they took the worst pictures and then sold the two decent photographs to us at an insane price of 90 dollars....the only good thing about the place was the reverend, who did a good job. The bouquet was extremely small, basically not decorated at all...just a bunch of 6 dried out roses. They collect the tip for the limo driver and reverend from you before the wedding, which is insane. Even though the web site says its optional, they don't leave it as an option. The wedding area itself is very small, and can't accomodate even 15 guests properly. They say that the package includes 24 photos, but its basically 8 poses only, with three photos for each pose. Everything about the place was horrible, and my wedding day was ruined. It seems like its cheap, and you can save a lot of money on your wedding, but the service they provide is way cheaper than the amount you end up spending. Please avoid this if you want to have a happy wedding. I'm certain that the good reviews posted on this website are posted by the staff itself. Even when we spoke with them over they phone, they were extremely rude. The chapel is in a very shady location.

My fiancé and I chose to get married at the Shalimar Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas on 12/17, and what a complete nightmare it turned out to be... First off, the Shalimar is located inside of the Howard Johnson's Hotel - Ho Jo's, and they never listed that on their website... They know that if they state that they are located inside of the Ho Jo's that nobody would ever select their location... There were actually prostitutes walking right around the hotel, and a strip club right across the street. There were tons of homeless people too. Enough on the location...

The staff was FAR WORSE!! Let me elaborate... The "professional photographer” could not take a good picture, if their life truly depended on it... What a nightmare, I truly feel that an 8 year old could take better pictures than their supposed "professional photographer". Not even one good picture! The Director of the Shalimar also seemed confused and not sharp...

The WORST part of our wedding day debacle was their supposed "minister" Reverend Cotton. I am not a racist at all, but will tell you that this black minister (in case he lied about his name), cannot consider himself a minster at all. He must have taken a 1 hour online certificate course or something, as he is certainly not a man of faith or religion. We called ahead of time and confirmed we could use our custom vows. We had custom vows written, and Reverend Cotton rushed us through the ceremony without even asking us if we had any custom vows. I swear to god Reverend Cotton's whole ceremony was less than 30 seconds long... This supposed "minister" then had the audacity to hand us an envelope and asked us for a $75 donation, while he stood next to me and counted the money that I placed in the envelope. He actually had the nerve to stand right next to me and count the money as I placed it in the envelope, and made me feel that if I did not provide his $75 shake down fee, that he may actually not record our license with the state of Nevada. My wife and I both felt that any donation was a complete rip-off, as he was undeserving of any tip, even $0.01. This supposed minister NEVER once even made eye contact with me or my wife during the entire ceremony; he ONLY made eye contact with the money going into the envelope! This was a very PUSHY and GREEDY tactic to use.

This place should be avoided like the plague, HIV, and venomous snakes... I have NEVER been treated so badly by the staff of any organization ANYWHERE ON EARTH, EVER!!! I had to do a review on the Shalimar Wedding Chapel, to let EVERYONE on Trip Advisor and other trusted review sites (as I am going to post this review to EVERY online review site I can find...) So that good honest, kind, couples in love, can avoid this place, and their TERRIBLE service.

The minister should have his license revoked, and I am going to call and inquire with the state licensing board in Nevada, as to how Reverend Cotton even got licensed in the first place, and to verify that Reverend Cotton is even a minister (which I highly doubt)! My wife and I are outraged at the minister and the photographer. Thanks Shalimar and your terrible staff for ruining our wedding day... Please go elsewhere in Las Vegas, and enjoy your wedding without the nightmare we experienced... You have several options that should NOT include the Shalimar Wedding Chapel.

We and my fiance got married at the Shalimar wedding chapel this past Friday ,and we have nothing but great things to say about this chapel and the staff , chapel was beautifully decorated and very romantic looking , Susan our coordinator was amazing , she took care of all of need from start to finish and she took the most amazing photos, and our Minister Rev.Smith did a wonderful job on performing our ceremony .



Overall we had a great experience .



Thank you Shalimar .

My daughter got married their on 7/9/11 its was way out of the strip and the hotel is old and run down the chapel was petty and the paster was good ,but we had to paid extra for the webb cam and them their was no sound ? i call them and they said we dont have sound but the next day i watch a wedding and their was sound . i wouldnt tell anyone else to use them paid a little xtra and go with some else

We got married at shalimar on 12/18/2010 and could not have asked for more. Nancy was amazing with helping us with everything the gazebo was so beautiful. Thanks again shalimar for everything.

What they don't tell you is that the so called Chapel is inside the Howard Johnson Hotel across from of Mexican Bar and Food place.



The minister is the biggest joke, no caring, unprofessional and just lacks any type of compassion.



Do your homework, do be fooled like we were by the price and what we thought was a value.

We are Glad for choosing the Shalimar wedding chapel , they did an amazing job , great customer service , we loved it .

We go married this past friday and ,We loved it, we got the second package with 24 picture on the CD but they gave us 52 instead , they are nice and gave us extra stuff :)

It was really worth it , compare to the other chapels , this wasn't cheesy at all , it was really elegent .





Thank you all

We got married august 15 2009 and it was great. We had package b for the outdoor gazebo and it turned out great for a vegas wedding :) The price was great the flowers beautiful pictures turned out great the only tthing is they try get u buy more that arent in the package that are pretty expensive . All in all our experiences was great . The limo driver did stink on the way home we didnt tip him the sugguested tip because we stayed at the startosphere which was so close to the chapel i can understand if we stay at the mgm grand but it was so close he was rude and would nt help me out the limo.. other than i say 8 out 10 stars :)

We got married at Shalimar wedding chapel On September 9,2008.

we are glad that we picked shalimar for our special day.Amazing Limousine Service,Friendly Limo Driver,

Great Pictures and most of all,beautiful Ceremony.

I just want to say Thank You Shalimar

We got married at the shalimar on 01/14/2008 and we thought the chapel and the staff were very nice. The limo that picked us up was amazing. Very happy with everything.

Beware of the pictures they take they tell you that they took 2 extra pictures that will not be in your package and charge you for them if you want them. When you later look at your disk they're on the disk. The manager / owner doesn't return calls and you probably wont get your money back, I didn't!
