While we would love to tell you ourselves how extraordinary a wedding in the Frank Gehry designed Keep Memory Alive Event Center under the 199 windows of our undulating stainless steel canopy would be, we figured you would appreciate hearing from the couples who love us on WeddingWire.com instead.

Iconic Location

As one of the most visually unique buildings in Las Vegas, we make quite an impression on engaged couples. Bride Kate from Boston exclaimed, “The Frank Gehry designed building was breathtaking and certainly impressed all of our guests. People are still talking about our awesome venue! The white walled room was able to be transformed quickly into a modern fairytale. It was unbelievable!” Emma concurred, saying, “KMA is such a beautiful venue and a unique one at that… It is absolutely breathtaking inside and out.”

Wedding Outside

Another bride loved the benefits of getting married at an off-strip venue, “This is a hidden gem in Las Vegas! I searched high and low for the perfect spot to get married and I looked at EVERY venue in Las Vegas. I really didn’t want my guests to have to go through a smoky casino or hotel, and I looked at all country clubs and off-strip venues in the area. None had to offer as much as the KMA Event Center.”

Amazing Food and Service

Our staff is dedicated to making the event memorable for the happy couple and their family. One bride shared her experience, “Everything about this venue was amazing from the service, food, beverage, linens, china, to the architecture.” Another happy guest stated, “The staff was extremely accommodating and dedicated to making my day special. From the gorgeous china, glassware and decor… to the unparalleled food and beverage… we were completely overwhelmed!!”

Gina thanked the staff by saying, “David Watts, who was our Sales Director, was fabulous! He really cared about us and our wedding, and any time there was an issue or a hiccup… I knew that David really cared and would work hard to make me happy – Which he totally did!”

Best Locations for Fantastic Wedding Photos in Las Vegas

Las Vegas Wedding PhotoYou’re getting married in Las Vegas? Whether you’re a Las Vegas local or coming into town to celebrate your big day, there’s so much planning and preparation involved on your wedding, that you have to rely on professionals for their expertise. From your Las Vegas wedding event venue, cake, flowers or photos, you need the recommendation of an wedding expert to guide you in the right direction. Before or after your wedding at the Keep Memory Alive Event Center, we checked with local photographers to see where the best locations are to have some great photos taken around town to capture your special day for a lifetime.

Your Wedding Venue – This isn’t a surprise that it’s the first pick – when you’re choosing your venue, every bride is checking out different areas for photo opps and rightfully so! The Keep Memory Alive Event Center offers creative and beautiful photo opportunities, from the stunning Frank Gehry – designed stainless steel building lit up in your wedding color, to the Reflection Garden and breezeway. Be sure to ask the venue for location ideas to shoot at, as there might be some areas you aren’t aware of or you are not able to see, that would make for a cool photo location!

Golf Course – Golf courses are the perfect backdrop for any bride and groom. You just can’t go wrong with the green.

Red Rock Canyon – As Nevada’s first National Conservation Area, Red Rock Canyon makes for amazing photographs. Being outdoors in nature is always a safe bet when it comes to photographs, especially at sunset. Located only 17 miles from the Las Vegas Strip, if you have time to include photos here, don’t miss out!

The Neon Museum – This inspiring location makes for artistic and legendary photos. Spanning two-acres, this museum houses more than 150 historic hotel and casino signs from Las Vegas. Capturing photos at this historical museum is one memory definitely worth having.

The Las Vegas Strip – We had to include all the glitter and lights of the Las Vegas Strip! Even if you’re a local, taking photographs along the Strip, specifically in front of the Bellagio Fountains, “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas” sign, The Venetian, Caesars Palace and Fremont Street, is a fun and cool way to remember your wedding day.

Top 10 reasons to host your Las Vegas Wedding at the Keep Memory Alive Center

1. Legendary architect Frank Gehry designed the amazing building. He’s also designed the Guggenheim Museum, Walt Disney Concert Hall and Louis Vuitton Foundation in Paris, leading “Vanity Fair” to name him the “most important architect of our age.” You’ll get that “wow” factor before even stepping into the ceremony.

2. When you host your unforgettable Las Vegas wedding at the Keep Memory Alive Event Center, you are actually helping others remember. Special event proceeds support the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center and go towards enhanced treatment, research and prevention of brain disorders.

Seven Tier Wedding Cake

3. We customize every wedding by crafting the ultimate best with focus on details and individualized attention which results in an unrivaled guest experience – we’ve hung a seven-tier wedding cake from the ceiling and brought in a monogrammed dance floor for guests to get their boogie on.

4. We know the to-do lists are endless for wedding planning, but one thing you can cross off your list with us – facility fees. Lounge furniture, portable bars, Narumi china, Riedel glassware as well as flatware and linens designed by Frank Gehry are all included.

5. Go green! We have energy-efficient windows, climate control on the lower 15 feet of the event center and special window coverings that track the sun throughout the day in order to conserve heat and air conditioning so our windows open and close as the sun moves.

6. Wolfgang Puck has been cooking for the Oscars party for 20 years and personally designed our kitchen to the exact specifications of his dream kitchen. We offer world-class dining options or bring in your own chef to create the perfect wedding menu.

Kosher China

7. We know it’s oftentimes hard for kosher clients to find kosher facilities so we are proud to offer kosher capabilities and will work directly with the rabbi for proper preparation.

8. The event center has 199 windows, no two the same shape or size – similar to snowflakes!

9. Located only minutes from the Las Vegas Strip so you can party the night away but spare your guests the trek through a smoke-filled casino.

10. Are your wedding colors pink and purple? Blue and green? Whatever they are, we have a customized LED lighting system to set the inside and outside ablaze in color for a truly magnificent photo.
