LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — The local wedding industry is banking on unique dates in June to boost wedding numbers this year.
Tuesday, 6-2-26, is a palindrome date that reads the same backward and forward. Saturday is 6-6-26, and later this month on a Friday, it is 6-26-26, another palindrome.
After experiencing a decline in marriages last year, Las Vegas wedding industry leaders have been working to attract more couples.
Marco Rodriguez and Cynthia Torres came from San Francisco to get married, but didn’t learn about their unique wedding date until they were told by FOX5.
“It’s so awesome. We picked a good day then. Yeah, it’s actually our anniversary, our nine year anniversary, so that’s why you picked it. And now it’s an even bigger significant because it’s the same backwards and forwards,” Rodriguez and Torres said.
“Nobody knows that we’re getting married or we got married today… but… when we do tell people we’re going to tell this story,” Torres said.

Wedding bookings show strong June numbers
They got married at the Little White Wedding Chapel. Along with Vegas Weddings and Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel, these three popular chapels in Vegas, shared their wedding numbers. Not including walk-ups, 6-2-26 had 45 weddings booked, 6-6-26 has 125 wedding bookings, and 6-26-26 has 115 weddings.
“There are big dates. Yes, we were busy today,” said Diana Moran, a pastor with Say I Do Wedding Chapel.
Moran, who has married 27,000 couples, said this year there has been an uptick in June bookings.
“On the 26th, we expect to be so busy, completely booked… It’s an easy date to remember. Fellas mostly like to kind of have a date that they’re not going to forget,” Moran said.
Wedding numbers down overall despite June boost
Wedding numbers were down 8% last year and are down overall so far this year according to clerk.clarkcountynv.gov/clerkstats/. Nearly 25,000 weddings have taken place so far this year through the end of May.
Officials say weddings remain a major driver of the local economy. About 4% of Las Vegas visitors travel to the area for weddings, generating an estimated $3.3 billion economic impact for Clark County.
Las Vegas has long seen spikes on standout calendar days, including 7-7-07, still the busiest wedding date in city history, when 4,493 couples got married.
The marriage license bureau processes more than 70,000 licenses a year. Since the county’s inception in 1909, it has hosted more than five million weddings.
