Vegas Wedding Vendors You Didn’t Know You Needed (But Absolutely Do)

When it comes to planning a Las Vegas wedding, we already know the essentials like the planner, the photographer and the officiant. But the magic of a truly unforgettable wedding lies in the details — and the vendors you never knew you needed. These under-the-radar professionals can elevate the wedding day from special to spectacular, capturing the moments you didn’t see coming and smoothing out the ones you did.

We tapped wedding experts to reveal the must-have vendors every couple should consider adding to their Vegas wedding dream team.

Content Creator 

In the age of TikTok and Instagram, hiring a social media content creator isn’t just trendy—it’s essential for couples who want to relive the emotion and glamor of their day through an authentic, real-time lens.

“We live our lives on social media,” says Las Vegas-based wedding planner and event producer Andrea Eppolito. “A dedicated content creator that captures all of the magic of your wedding in real time can turn their video clips into beautiful micro stories … polished reels and ready-to-post images before the night is over.”

Ashley Thompson of Ashley Creative Events adds, “If you are someone who really sees the value in real-time, raw footage of some of the key moments of the day, then this will be invaluable.”

A Videographer That Acts as a Documentarian

Weddings aren’t just a day—they’re a journey. Capture the full experience with a documentary team that follows you through it all, from dress fittings to rehearsal dinners and tearful vows.

“Planning your wedding tells as much about your story as the wedding itself does,” says Eppolito. “Invest in having a videographer follow you throughout the entire process. This is a candid, photo-journalistic approach to video. One part reality show, one part documentary, captures everything from the first dress sketch to the last dance, interviewing designers, family and the dream team behind the scenes. What you get is a cinematic keepsake that’s heartfelt, honest and beautifully yours—something you’ll treasure forever and share for generations.”

Live Musicians That Aren’t Only the Main Performers

Want to wow guests with a unique soundscape? Erica Kyles-Pauley, director of weddings at Wynn Las Vegas, says: “We’re seeing couples incorporate unique musical performances. Contemporary pop songs are being reimagined through classical instruments, setting a sophisticated yet fresh tone for ceremonies and receptions alike.”

Also consider the use of professional musicians, like a string orchestra, for the wedding processional, happy hour, or even the grand entrance at your reception. Imagine walking down the aisle to a live quartet playing a custom arrangement of that favorite love song. Or, set the mood during cocktail hour with a jazz trio serenading guests under the Vegas sunset. These elevated musical moments create an immersive, emotional experience guests won’t forget.

Wedding Dress Steamer Vendors

This is a small minutia of wedding planning. Making sure your planner or your bridesmaid team can steam dresses and suits is important. To really take it to the next level, have vendors or someone on hand that act as a separate service.

“At almost every wedding, we suggest having a steamer to arrive the day before steam all important items from the groom’s tux, to the bridesmaids’ dresses and the wedding dress and veil,” says Thompson.

In short, this is a small detail that makes a big visual difference.

Dance Coach

“Even if you aren’t planning to do a choreographed first dance, it is nice to have a few lessons under your belt to prepare you for the big day,” says Thompson. “Our couples have found that it becomes a fun date night through the process.”

Try A Perfect Wedding Dance or Fred Astaire Dance Studios in Las Vegas. Both offer private wedding dance preparations that are fun and flexible. 

Vow Coach

Writing your vows can feel overwhelming. After all, how does one sum up an entire love story in just a few minutes? A vow coach can help you find the perfect words, tone and confidence to say it all just right. Vow coaches guide you through writing, editing and practicing your delivery. This is great for those who need a little encouragement in getting the words and delivery just right. 

Hangover Concierge

Let’s be real — Vegas is Vegas. After a night of celebration, you and your guests might need a little post-party pick-me-up.

Enter the Hangover Concierge: a mobile recovery team that offers IV hydration, oxygen therapy and vitamin boosts to get you wedding-ready again. Options like Reset IV Las Vegas or Reviv Las Vegas at The Cosmopolitan can even come directly to your suite the morning after your reception or welcome party.
