A Little White Wedding Chapel
Wedding chapel in Las Vegas, Nevada
About
A Little White Wedding Chapel is a chapel in Las Vegas, Nevada. It is notable as the site of many quick celebrity weddings; famously, the chapel offers a "Drive-Thru Tunnel of Vows" for quick, largely unplanned marriages. The chapel was built and opened in 1954 by Arvid and Neva Barnhart.
Charolette Richards bought the chapel in 1981. She came into the wedding business through marriage with Merle Richards, owner of Little Church of the West. Merle and Charolette Richards together opened Algiers' Little Church of the West in 1968. The couple later divorced, and Charolette went into business on her own with Little White Chapel. She has presided over the marriages of Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Mickey Rooney, Michael Jordan, Dame Joan Collins, Britney Spears, Bruce Willis and Demi Moore. Mrs. Richards sold the chapel in 2022 to Cliff Evarts and Melody Willis-Williams.
