Chapel of the Flowers, as seen from the Las Vegas Strip

Chapel of the Flowers is known for being the wedding location for Dennis Rodman and Carmen Electra, as well as the setting for the reality TV show "Happily Ever Faster" on TLC (TV channel). Ronnie Vannucci, the drummer for The Killers, worked as a photographer at the chapel while the band was recording their first album, "Hot Fuss" [3]. Additionally, Chapel of the Flowers has also served as the location on several celebrity occasions, including for the music videos "Why Wait" by Rascal Flatts starring David Arquette as the groom and comedian Ron White as the minister. It was also the site where Carrie Underwood mistakenly got married in her music video "Last Name."[4] Mogul Richard Branson also orchestrated a publicity stunt where he served as Best Man for a UK couple, with the wedding taking place at Chapel of the Flowers.[5]

It is also one of the most technologically advanced chapels, being the first to offer live Internet broadcasting[6] and the first to offer Skype weddings.[7] Each chapel is wired with three hi-definition video cameras to facilitate the live broadcasts and 55-inch LED televisions for Skype weddings.[8]

Chapel of the Flowers is also the winner of numerous "Best of" awards, including TheKnot.com "Nevada Best of Weddings,"[9] WeddingWire "Bride's Choice Awards: Las Vegas"[10] and Las Vegas Review-Journal "Best of Las Vegas: Wedding Chapel" 2011 and 2010.[11]
