You Can Literally Get Married At This Taco Bell

As far as places go to celebrate, you can probably think of somewhere a bit more exciting than Taco Bell – although hey! If you want to mark a birthday, or an anniversary, or good exam results there, then absolutely no judgment whatsoever. I can also think of less exciting places to celebrate things. Dentists’ offices, for example (no offense to dentists, or anyone).

I would hazard a guess, though, that most people aren’t thinking of celebrating their nuptials there. But if you wish to, you can, by quite literally getting legally betrothed in one specific branch of the restaurant. I’ll give you three guesses as to where it is. 

I Do!

In good old Las Vegas, Taco Bell’s Strip location is not just a restaurant – it’s also a wedding venue. According to The Knot, on the second floor of the restaurant is the Taco Bell Cantina Wedding Chapel, a casual venue where you can look into the eyes of your loved one while the smell of its menu items wafts up to you from below. 

Taco Bell started offering weddings in its flagship Las Vegas restaurant in 2017, and since then, hundreds upon hundreds of couples have gotten married there. To be honest, it kinda comes with in-built catering, so it solves one big problem right there.

Yeah, On That: What’s The Deal With Getting Married There?

The deal is this: First, you need a marriage licence. Taco Bell doesn’t issue them – it just provides you with the venue and all the trimmings. You also need to have one person to witness your wedding, and you need a shirt and shoes on. As you can probably imagine, you can’t bring in any food or drinks, but the Cantina has a full bar.

Once that’s all sorted, all you have to do is rock up with your marriage license and wait your turn. For a fee of $777, you get a ceremony in its chapel with an ordained officiant, a private reception area for after the ceremony (which you only have a very short space of time – the reception and ceremony have to be done in 30 minutes), custom merchandise, which includes a sauce packet garter(!) and Taco Bell-branded champagne flutes, and a 12-pack of tacos. You also get a one-tier wedding cake, made of its Cinnabons. Oh, and up to 25 people can attend, too.

Now, tell me that doesn’t sound like a good time. Because I think that sounds like a good time. And with the price of weddings these days…it’s definitely tempting. Taco Bell may be charging you too much elsewhere, but to get married? That’s not bad.
