Las Vegas didn’t become the Wedding Capital of the World solely because of our lax marriage laws. Value for money has also always drawn couples to the desert.
While it may be true that inflation, price gouging, tariffs and other factors have hit Las Vegas in the past year or so, leading to a drop in tourism, it’s also true that there’s still some incredible return on experience to be found in Sin City.
For couples being intentional with their wedding plans, Las Vegas is, and always will be, the best place to say “I do”. While prices for many things may be up, in Las Vegas, so is the BANG! We’re always making the things that people love about Vegas bigger and better.
Have you seen the Sphere?
Did you know we’ve got a Formula 1 race?
We’re getting our 3rd major sports team soon!
The Rat Pack never got to ride on the High Roller.
Our roster of one name celebrity chefs and super star musical acts has never been bigger.
And anything Nashville can do, we can do better.
That goes for weddings too. And while many of these new attractions can be expensive (hey, it’s all relative), a kickass wedding doesn’t have to be.
An intimate, meaningful and flat-out incredible ceremony doesn’t have to break the bank. This blog will show you what you can get on your special day in Las Vegas with a $5,000 wedding budget.
Option 1: You + Me at the Neon Museum

It doesn’t get any more Vegas than this! The Neon Museum is the city’s most celebrated museum and our most iconic ESE wedding venue. You and your ride or die can exchange vows amongst the vintage neon signs that once lit up Glitter Gulch and the Strip. Long before the advent of monstrous LED displays, these signs defined a design language that’s been synonymous with Vegas since the early days of Frank, Deano and Sammy, the mob, Elvis and America’s favorite oasis in the sun.
In addition to this top-of-the-line venue, your Neon Museum elopement comes standard with 60 minutes of our cool as hell photography, a modern officiant, a professional onsite host, all the love and support of our account managers and experience specialists AND floras for the two of you. Usually that’s a boutonniere for him and a bouquet for her, but if you need two of one or the other, we got you.

But wait, there’s more!
For less than $5,000 we’ll also throw in our full cake and Champagne celebration!
See, I told you a super awesome Vegas elopement doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg.
Option 2: So Extra at Red Rock Canyon

“Ok,” you say. “An elopement is fine. But what if we want to have a bunch of guests?”
To that we say, “BRING IT ON!” With our So Extra micro wedding package, we can put you and up to 50 guests at Red Rock Canyon. Red Rock Canyon is the most popular wedding venue offered by ESE and our sister company Cactus Collective Weddings.
You’ll also get a lengthier 105 minute photo session.
This comes in addition to the sustainable florals, the modern officiant and all the professional know-how and expertise my team proudly delivers to all our couples.

You didn’t think I’d stop there did you?
This big guest-count ceremony is such an affordable option that your $5,0000 Las Vegas wedding day budget still has some room in it. You’ll be able to add on a Downtown Photo Walking Tour from CCW or a Behind the Scenes content creation service from our sister company Make My Day Media.
Option 3: Superstition at Eldorado Canyon

Want something in between? You’re in luck. This option hits the sweet spot between a stunning venue, desirable wedding add-ons and a generous guest count.
Our Superstition package allows between 13 and 30 guests at this legendary ghost town venue and includes two of our most impactful wedding day extras.
You’ll get 90 minutes of ceremony photography, all the standard inclusions and support from our team of micro wedding experts PLUS two great add ons:
- Behind the Scenes content creation service for getting ready and for the ceremony
- A Guitarist to play live music at your ceremony
Say “I do” underneath the stained-glass arch or inside the rustic wooden chapel and then take magazine worthy photos amongst the rusty gold that’s on display in one of the wildest places in the American West.

WOW!
And people said Vegas doesn’t provide enough bang for your buck anymore. Electric Sugar Elopements offers a huge experience for a small price.
