A Little White Wedding Chapel, Wedding chapel on Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, Nevada, United States
A Little White Wedding Chapel is a wedding venue in Las Vegas featuring multiple spaces for ceremonies: indoor chapels, an outdoor gazebo, and the Tunnel of Love Drive Thru service. The facility combines traditional ceremony spaces with modern options for couples seeking different types of services.
Arvid and Neva Barnhart built and opened the chapel in 1954. Charolette Richards bought it in 1981 and presided over weddings including those of Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Mickey Rooney, Michael Jordan, Joan Collins, Britney Spears, and Bruce Willis with Demi Moore. She sold it in 2022 to Cliff Evarts and Melody Willis-Williams.
The chapel's sign reads "Welcome to the Little White Chapel Tunnel of Lov" (the final 'e' missing), flanked by two pink winged cupids; the canopy's arched underside is painted dark blue with cupid figures and script lettering. Charolette Richards, owner from 1981 to 2022, presided over weddings including those of Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Britney Spears, and Bruce Willis with Demi Moore. The chapel appears in TV shows such as Friends and Supernatural, and the wedding scene in the 2025 film Anora was shot here in March 2023.
Couples should obtain a marriage license from the Marriage License Bureau before visiting, as this is required for any ceremony. The chapel offers different options depending on preference and budget, with some couples choosing indoor spaces while others prefer the drive-through service or outdoor area.
The Drive Thru service in the Tunnel of Love allows couples to exchange vows without leaving their vehicle, offering a unique alternative to traditional ceremonies. This service made the chapel a symbol of quick and unconventional weddings in Las Vegas.
