New to vegas: the drive-by wedding

(Vegas Wedding Wagon)

Vegas wedding couples who, for reasons uknown, can not be bothered to stumble lower towards the nearest Elvis Chapel, are in possession of a brand new choice for getting betrothed: a minister-outfitted van that involves them and weds them curbside (weather enabling) in ten minutes. Cost: $99.

The Vegas Wedding Wagon may be the creation of Andy Gonzalez and James Cass ("Reverend Andy" and "Reverend James"), two refugees from the business enterprise who say they were given the concept this past year. They carried out their first Wedding Wagon wedding just a week ago and also have to date married four couples.

Gonzalez states that whenever the 2 entrepreneurs did their researching the market, these were pleased to determine that 7,000 to 9,000 wedding ceremonies get carried out in Las vegas each month.

"Both of us saw the possibility,Inch he states. "There might be real cash here."

The marketplace, though, was crowded: There have been Elvis wedding ceremonies. There have been stripper wedding ceremonies. There have been drive-through wedding ceremonies. What new wrinkle could they convey?

A mobile, we-deliver wedding could be novel, they thought. Gonzalez states they investigated whether or not they might get a company license for this type of service, and into what type of vehicle may be right. But, because they continued to be undecided whether or not to proceed, these were given an indication:

"The Hangover Bus," Gonzalez states. "I was saying, 'Should we pull the trigger?' therefore we saw that story concerning the Hangover Bus. Whenever we saw that, we stated 'Anything is possible'."

He describes attention given another new mobile service, Hangover Paradise: a bus that drives up and lower the Strip offering intravenous hangover cures to individuals in need of assistance.

Just one hurdle continued to be: The 2 needed to be ordained. They acquired their authority as ministers, he states, online, through American Marriage Ministries.

Gonzalez is a touch vague concerning the Wedding Wagon's denomination.

"We are type of non-denominational," he states. "We did a marriage Friday a couple of who wanted an Apache prayer added."

Requested should there be anybody the Wagon cannot or won't marry, the Gonzalez states both he and Clark County draw the road in the beginning cousins.

For what lengths he'll visit service a customer: "Completely lower to Boulder City, in which the Dam is, and out into Red-colored Rock Canyon."

What for the future? Might they branch out into, say, drive-by baptisms or even the administration of last rituals?

"We joked about our beginning a 'briss-bus,'" he states. "However that maybe could be going too much.Inch

He states he and Cass is going to be generating around they provided in the business enterprise, when and when they're routinely getting married to four-to-six couples each day or even more.

"We have got so very little overhead," he describes. "We are not really a brick-and-mortar chapel."
