A Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, has been the site of many "quickie" celebrity weddings. It is noted for its ''Drive-Thru Tunnel of Vows''.〔no byline (November 2004). "Getting Hitched in a Vegas Chapel", ''Cosmopolitan'' 237 (5): 104.〕〔McCann, Dennis (2002-02-10). "Couples in Las Vegas take chance on true love", ''Milwaukee Journal Sentinel'', p.

It employs ten ministers.〔Walker, Natalie (November 22, 2004). "Cryin' in the castle: Vegas chapel bid for Scots", ''Daily Record'', p. 20.〕 Similarly named Las Vegas wedding chapels, such as The Little Church of the West, The Little Chapel by the Courthouse, and the Chapel of the Flowers are often confused with A Little White Wedding Chapel. The Little Chapel by the Courthouse is also owned by We've Only Just Begun Inc., also the owners of A Little White Wedding Chapel. Charolette Richards, the owner, also has had association with the Little Church of the West. Richards has worked at the chapel since the late 1950s.〔 She came into the wedding business after her first husband abandoned her in Las Vegas, and Merle Edwards, who worked in the wedding chapel business, rescued her from the street and soon after became her second husband. He died in 1982. Richards is an ordained minister of a "non-denominational church". She has presided over the marriages of Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Mickey Rooney, Michael Jordan, Britney Spears, Bruce Willis, and Demi Moore.〔Mansfield, Susan (December 1, 2004). "Elvis, Sinatra and Britney were all married there. Now the Little White Wedding Chapel is coming to Scotland", ''The Scotsman'', p. 36.〕 The chapel has been featured on such TV shows as "WWE Raw", ''Friends'' and ''Good Morning America''.〔Haas, Jane Glenn (February 15, 2004).
