Lucky in Love: Richmond’s New Vegas-Style Wedding Chapel Is Here, and It’s Fabulous

Okay Richmond, gather ‘round—because downtown just got hitched to a whole lotta fabulous. If you’ve ever watched a movie set in Vegas and thought, “You know what this city needs? A wedding chapel with velvet curtains and the spirit of Sinatra,” then boy, do we have news for you.

Opening its doors on June 13, 2025, “Lucky in Love” is a new Vegas-style wedding chapel in downtown Richmond—because why not combine glitter, red velvet, affordable wedding packages, and pure marital spontaneity all under one chandelier?

It’s cute. It’s quirky. It’s a little extra. And we are obsessed.

A Wedding Chapel in Downtown Richmond? Yes, and It’s Glorious.

You’ll find Lucky in Love at 402 E. Grace St., right in the heart of downtown Richmond—because this city finally realized what it was missing: rhinestones, crystal chandeliers, and a place where you can get legally bound without breaking the bank.

This place is what happens when Las Vegas and Pinterest have a baby and raise it on Hallmark movies. It’s decked out in pink and red, complete with vintage flair, velvet drapes, and just the right amount of “Elvis would approve.”

Who’s Behind the Magic?

You can thank a power trio of Richmond wedding queens for this genius idea:

• Tia Ballard – A licensed officiant who’s legally qualified to say, “You may now kiss the bride.”
• Savannah Manzie – A cosmetic artist who will make sure your “I do” face is on point.
• Kasie Murphy – A wedding planner who knows how to throw a party (even when it’s just you, your boo, and an Elvis impersonator… maybe).

Together, they’ve created a space that caters to couples who want less stress, more sparkle, and zero drama from in-laws who ask, “Do you really want to do it this way?”

The Packages (And Yes, You Can Totally Get Hitched for Under $600)

Now, let’s talk numbers—because let’s be honest, the average American wedding costs enough to buy a Tesla. Not here.

Lucky in Love offers packages that range from around $550 to $2,500, depending on how fancy you want to get. Want a simple “walk-in-and-walk-out-married” deal? Done. Prefer a micro-wedding with flowers, music, and a tiny dance floor where Aunt Barb can bust a move? They’ve got you covered.

Some of the perks you can expect:

• All-inclusive services (because you shouldn’t have to bring your own folding chairs)
• Same-day ceremonies (yes, even if you just met at Bottoms Up Pizza)
• Elopement packages (for lovers who hate planning)
• Add-ons like makeup, photography, and mood lighting

Why This Is Genius (Besides the Obvious)

Look, not every couple wants to spend $25,000 on a wedding. Some people would rather invest in a down payment, a honeymoon in Greece, or a lifetime supply of Trader Joe’s orange chicken. “Lucky in Love” gets that.

It’s a place for:

• Couples who want to skip the drama.
• People who really like velvet.
• Lovers who believe commitment doesn’t have to cost more than a semester at VCU.

Also, the vibe? Unmatched. It’s romantic, a little theatrical, and way more fun than a courthouse wedding with fluorescent lighting.
