Valley of Fire State Park Wedding: Intimate Red-Rock Ceremony from Las Vegas
Exchange vows beneath the blazing walls of Nevada’s oldest state park. This private Valley of Fire wedding package handles permits, officiant, photographer, and limo transport—so you get cinematic desert light without the logistics stress.
The Experience
Before You Go
Time your ceremony for golden hour
Sunrise and late afternoon produce the richest red and orange tones and cooler temperatures—avoid midday heat for comfort and better photos.
Bring closed-toe shoes
Slickrock and loose gravel can be slippery; supportive shoes with traction help you move safely between photo spots.
Hydrate and pack sun protection
Even short outdoor ceremonies can expose you to strong desert sun—carry water, sunscreen, and a wide-brim hat for down time.
Confirm pickup and mobility needs
The operator offers hotel pickup and wheelchair-accessible options—verify exact pickup time and any accessibility requirements when you book.
