Graceland Wedding Chapel

Graceland Wedding Chapel: The First Elvis-Themed Wedding Ceremony

Graceland Wedding Chapel was originally built as a family home by Scottish settlers in the early 1900s. Elvis Presley reportedly stopped by unannounced in the 1960s while scouting venues for his wedding to Priscilla, and after his death in 1977 the chapel was renamed Graceland Wedding Chapel and performed the world’s first Elvis-themed wedding ceremony. Owner Brendan Paul, a San Francisco–native Elvis impersonator, started working at the chapel after Jon Bon Jovi got married there, eventually buying the chapel from the previous owner for one million dollars after seven years on staff.

Graceland Wedding Chapel at 619 Las Vegas Boulevard South sits two blocks south of the Stratosphere on the historic Las Vegas Boulevard wedding corridor. The chapel runs Elvis-themed ceremonies, traditional weddings, vow renewals, and the full Las Vegas wedding-chapel program from one of the most architecturally distinctive standalone chapel buildings on the boulevard.

Graceland Wedding Chapel in the Las Vegas Valley

Graceland Wedding Chapel performed the world’s first Elvis-themed wedding ceremony in 1977, an originating moment in the Las Vegas wedding cultural-tourism economy. Brendan Paul’s ownership lineage — from Elvis impersonator on staff to chapel owner — is itself a piece of the chapel’s ongoing identity in the Las Vegas Valley wedding market.
