Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra got married in 2018 in multiple, extravagant ceremonies. Kevin Jonas and his bride, the former Danielle Deleasa, opted for private, family-centric nuptials in 2009. As for the middle Jonas Brother brother? Joe Jonas got hitched to Game Of Thrones actress Sophie Turner in Las Vegas — and Sin City notched its latest celebrity wedding. l
No matter if they’re drunk in love, or, like Nicolas Cage, circa 2019, imbibing “to the point of intoxication,” marriage-minded celebrities have been walking down the aisles of Vegas’s 24-hour wedding chapels and extravagant hotels for a long, long time.

Some stars wear breathtaking gowns, and some wear jeans and a T-shirt — like Britney Spears did when she said “I do” in 2004. Some couples are Hollywood A-listers — like Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, and Cindy Crawford and Richard Gere (Chicago) — and some are reality stars from various seasons of The Bachelor.
Some of these marriages flame out fast — Cage’s 2019 union with Erica Koike lasted four days; Spears’ marriage to a childhood friend lasted 55 hours.
But other made-in-Vegas marriages have been built to last: Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, and Leah Remini and Angelo Pagรกn are among the Sin City alums who are all still going strong.
Rocker-turned-Las Vegas legend Elvis Presley helped make the Nevada gambling mecca a wedding destination for stars — and non-stars — when he wed Priscilla Beaulieu at the Aladdin Hotel. Vogue would go onto call the 1967 ceremony the “ultimate Las Vegas wedding.”
If you’re so inclined, you can enjoy an ultimate Vegas wedding, too. Most of the Las Vegas facilities and chapels that have hosted celeb weddings are also open to non-celebrities — provided, that is, the venues are still standing. The Aladdin, for instance, was leveled in 1998, about 25 years after the Presleys’ marriage ended in divorce.
Here’s a look at star couples who, for better and for worse, have rocked Las Vegas weddings.
