When in Vegas, you can get hitched at the Little White Chapel, a drive-thru, or … Taco Bell.

In her video, she explained that the wedding ceremony costs $600, but the couple can pay an extra $1,500 for a two-hour reception, which includes alcohol and
“I was pretty surprised at how efficient it was and how cheap it was,” Heather said.
A Taco Bell wedding includes an officiant, merch, and of course, tacos
The Taco Bell Cantina opened in 2016, becoming one of the first franchise locations with alcoholic drinks and the first and only with a chapel. In 2017, Taco Bell had #LoveandTacosContest sweepstakes for couples to win weddings.
The owner of Taco Bell’s pop-up wedding partner, Flora Pop‘s Victoria Hogan, started working with the chain that year. Hogan, whose wedding service specializes in intimate weddings and elopements, acts as the wedding planner, officiant, and liaison between the couple and restaurant.
“We bring everything to you. The whole idea is that we try to make it effortless,” Hogan said, adding, “We scale it back to make the wedding about the couple.”
She believes she’s produced a couple thousand weddings with Taco Bell, averaging about 30 a month recently.
She helped create the $600 wedding package. As well as the 30-minute ceremony, the package includes a hot-sauce packet garter, bow tie, and matching flower bouquet to borrow, as well as customized couple T-shirts, a Taco Party Pack, Baja Blast Freezes in champagne flutes, and a Cinnabon Delights cake.
In true Las Vegas fashion, you only need to book 4 hours in advance
Hogan says some couples don’t reach out to her before the ceremony, but others do consultations. She says the most crucial step beforehand is for couples to obtain a Nevada pre-marriage license and bring it to the ceremony so she can sign and file it for legal recording.
Hogan officiates the weddings with a pun-tastic script, and even does so sometimes as an Elvis Presley impersonator. On the ultimate Taco Tuesday — 2/22/22 — Hogan officiated a wedding dressed as Elvis for couple Jackie and Corey.
“I love doing these weddings,” Hogan said. “They tend to be very light-hearted and we get the whole gamut of people who show up in a tux and gown to people that are dressed like tacos.”
