McKenzi Taylor, owner of the wedding brands Cactus Collective Weddings and Electric Sugar Elopements, believes that so many celebrities get married in Las Vegas because of the convenience. "I think the most important element is that it's quick, it's easy, and it's really a lot of fun," Taylor told The List. "Vegas has so much to offer those looking to get married in terms of all the things to do and places to see."
In addition, couples are able to have any type of wedding they desire. "They can be campy, they can be downtown Vegas in a chapel, and they can be full-scale luxury," Taylor adds. "They can be scenic, in the beautiful desert. Las Vegas weddings can truly be anything you'd ever want a wedding to be."
For Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, a smaller ceremony was the right move. "Jen and Ben have talked about eloping for months now and it felt right for them," a source told Us Weekly. "Jen and Ben have both already had big weddings beforehand, so the pageantry isn't as important to them as it once was."
They are reportedly also planning a larger party at a later date so they can celebrate with friends and family.
