LAS VEGAS (July 2026) – The Wedding Capital of the World™ announces it will celebrate its 73rd anniversary this August with a party commemorating love, America’s 250th anniversary and the timeless tradition of baseball during “Love at the Ballpark.” Taking place on Sunday, Aug. 30 at the Las Vegas Ballpark, members of the Las Vegas Wedding Club who married or renewed their vows in Southern Nevada will be invited to an evening of romance, nostalgia and America’s favorite pastime.
Attendees will enjoy admission to the game as the Las Vegas Aviators face off against the Sugar Land Space Cowboys. The all-inclusive private reception will also feature impressive views of the action, an Americana-inspired food and beverage buffet, wedding cake, commemorative photo opportunities, special swag giveaways and opportunities to mingle with fellow couples who chose Las Vegas for their wedding day. The celebration will culminate in a celebratory group vow renewal ceremony, allowing participants to reaffirm their commitment in front of family, friends and fellow romantics.
Throughout the game, attendees may also be featured in special in-game festivities, including video board recognitions, a love story montage, kiss cam appearances and other themed entertainment celebrating love and marriage in Las Vegas.
“As America marks its 250th anniversary, we wanted to create an experience that cheers on two enduring institutions that bring people together, marriage and baseball,” said Clark County Clerk Lynn Marie Goya. “What could be more American than that? The Wedding Capital of the World™ has brought together couples from every state to create more than 5 million Las Vegas love stories. This event is a chance to recognize the couples who continue to make our wedding community so distinctive.”
Tickets are available for $57.68 per person and may be purchased here. A portion of event proceeds will also benefit Champions for CASA. Champions for CASA is the nonprofit auxiliary for the CASA Program and supports the program through recruitment, retention and recognition of CASA volunteers.

ABOUT THE WEDDING CAPITAL OF THE WORLD™
For over a century, a “Vegas wedding” has captured public imagination as the ultimate stress-free, fun, glamorous and romantic wedding, whether it is a spur-of-the-moment occasion or an elaborately planned extravaganza for 600 guests. Offering weddings for every budget—including elopements at iconic Las Vegas chapels, elaborate nuptial celebrations at the Strip’s most elegant resorts and everything in between—the destination delivers dream weddings of every description for every budget. The Clark County Marriage License Bureau, overseen by the Honorable Lynn Marie Goya, issued more than 70,000 marriage licenses in 2025, adding to its reputation as a world-recognized premier wedding destination. Marriages are tracked in the United States by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that compiles an annual Marriage Rate by State, calculating the number of marriages per thousand population. With more than 5 million weddings and counting, Nevada’s marriage rate is 24.6 as opposed to the national marriage rate of 6.1 per thousand; Hawaii’s rate is 12.5 per thousand and Florida’s 7.0 per thousand. Internationally, marriage rates for countries typically range from 5 to 10 per thousand population. But it isn’t just the numbers. Once known as the “Niagara Falls of the West” with the famous Las Vegas Strip called “Honeymoon Highway,” on Sept. 23, 1953, the London Daily Herald first called Las Vegas the “Wedding Capital of the World.” For more information about the Wedding Capital of the World™ or the Office of the Clark County Clerk, Nevada, visit weddings.vegas.
