USS Riverside Weddings

The USS Riverside brings a one-of-a-kind wedding setting to Laughlin, Nevada — a private riverboat that sails the Colorado River between Nevada and Arizona, berthed at Don Laughlin's Riverside Resort Hotel & Casino. Couples exchange vows on the water as the vessel glides past desert canyon scenery, with the river as a natural backdrop in place of a traditional ballroom or garden. Three ceremony packages accommodate a wide range of group sizes. The Charter Wedding reserves the entire boat exclusively for parties of 25 to 89 guests, while the Small Party package provides a dedicated private area for 2 to 25 guests, with the vessel reopening to general passengers once the ceremony concludes. The No Frills package provides an officiant and ceremony space for very small groups or just the couple. All packages include a licensed minister, and most include a champagne toast and commemorative keepsakes for the couple. The vessel features a shaded upper deck, a climate-controlled cabin, restrooms, and full bar service during the approximately 80-minute cruise. A dedicated wedding coordinator handles all bookings and day-of logistics. An Arizona marriage license is required for all ceremonies performed aboard.
