## Summary

Nina Nieves and Kevin Carter married at New York’s Sure Thing Chapel, choosing its flamboyant Las Vegas-inspired style over a traditional wedding. Their ceremony cost about $700, offering a low-cost alternative as many couples seek to avoid increasingly expensive celebrations.

The 400-square-foot Lower East Side venue has red flooring, velvet drapes, a mirror-tiled ceiling and space for up to 18 guests; ceremonies usually last under 30 minutes. Packages range from $666 to $1,444 and include filing the marriage licence, while optional extras include a pianist, clown performance and photo booth access. Nieves, 31, wore a $40 dress, and the couple travelled from North Jersey rather than asking family to make the trip to Las Vegas.
