Have you heard of the 24 Hour Church of Elvis? If youre a lover of Elvis Presley, then make this a stop on your next visit. Open 12pm-5pm everyday (despite its name), the Church of Elvis is packed full of Elvis kitsch and memorabilia as well as coin-operated art. This has been a staple of Portland since 1985, though it has been revamped and moved locations three times since its inception.
The Church of Elvis is a shrine, art exhibit, shop and wedding chapel. You can get a real legal wedding performed by shop owner (not Elvis) for just $25. The basic package includes wedding march, fashion twirl, testimonial time, inspirational message, touching legalization of the vows, kiss, first dance and traditional sidewalk parade. Extras can be had for, well, extra. Elvis (the street performer) will sing for $25, you can even get magnets and invitations made if you want to make it a classier affair.
For a mere $5, you can get a fake/non-legal marriage which includes wedding rings, marriage certificate, use of bridal veil and trip around the block with just married sign and cans. "The important to budget travel is to prepare ahead. When it comes to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved holidays and/or going to see new spots we have never been before, the reality of expense and budgeting is always in the back of our heads. Organizing and expending our travel budget properly is a consideration for most families. Curbing spending and prices, while still experiencing your vacation to its fullest, is the key to confirmed accomplishment and fiscal obligation. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thought regarding protecting money while journeying is simple: Even if your personal funds is really tight, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also recalling that while traveling, regardless of whether on a finances or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a huge vacation or travel costs!..". If you want to commemorate the moment with a photo, add an additional $2.50. What a fun way to remember your visit to Portland!
Even if you dont want to get married, you can show up with a handful of quarters and get an eyeful of moving art. Admission to the Church of Elvis is free though. Keep art and your love of the King alive by visiting this Portland icon. Thank you. Thank you, very much.
