Mon Bel Ami Wedding Chapel is a wedding chapel located on Las Vegas Boulevard in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. Established in 2003, the chapel is a modern renovation of the Silver Bell Wedding Chapel which was built in the 1950s.[1] The venue hosts weddings, vow renewals, commitment ceremonies, same-sex weddings and wedding receptions for couples traveling to Las Vegas to get married from all over the world.[2]

History

Built in the 1950s, the venue was host to hundreds of thousands of weddings[3] as Silver Bell Wedding Chapel, including the celebrity weddings of Burt Bacharach and Angie Dickenson in 1965[4][5] and Rodney Dangerfield to Joan Child in 1993.[6] The venue was also featured in the television movie Saved by the Bell: Wedding in Las Vegas and the film Lost in America.[7] In 2002 a fire damaged most of the building.[8] It was sold and renovated under new ownership and re-opened as Mon Bel Ami Wedding Chapel in 2003.[1]
