Other Factors to Consider for Your Valley of Fire Wedding:
Weather can be so unpredictable, but it’s something we’ve mastered working around. Specifically in the Spring, the Vegas valley winds tend to be much higher than other times of the year. Wind speeds can range from 5 MPH up to 25 MPH gusts! Luckily, there are certain areas on site that can protect your ceremony from the wind, and we know just the spots. As your wedding experts, we are here to provide guidance and give direction on what areas are best anytime of the year!
Specific Wedding Approved Locations:
Valley of Fire State Park only allows weddings in specific locations of the park. The two approved locations are the Seven Sisters & The Visitors Center.
Why We Love the Seven Sisters Location:
- The Seven Sisters location is a grouping of seven large rock formations, making it perfect for a dramatic backdrop and our favorite wedding location in the Valley of Fire!
- This area is much flatter compared to The Visitors Center and also wheelchair accessible!
- Here you can also hold your reception, which is not the case in the Visitor Center.
- During the Spring time in Las Vegas there can be high winds. Luckily, the large rocks block a lot of that wind!
- This space tends to feel more private compared to the Visitors Center. A lot of tourist like to stop there before they leave the park, so Seven Sisters provides a private experience to your wedding day.

Why We Love the Visitors Center Location:
- This area has built in benches in the ceremony spot so, depending on your guest count you may not need a ton of extra chairs for your guests. These benches seat up to 16 people comfortably!
- There is also a real restroom here! The Seven Sisters location only has a park restroom which means all you have is some good ole hand sanitizer. Though in the Visitor Center, that restroom has sinks, running water, and real toilets!
