“You’ll need to use your imagination,” Victoria Hogan says. “We’re not ready yet.”

It doesn’t take much. Sure Thing—the Downtown wedding chapel created by Hogan and her partners Holly Rae Vaughn and Amy Hybarger, just a few door away from PublicUs café—has what those in the real estate game call “good bones.” It’s an airy space with an exposed-beam ceiling and a polished concrete floor, as modern as they come. A handsome midcentury sofa unit sits a few feet from a 1970s-vintage organ; across the room is an installation by local artist Zet Gold, resembling a miniature cityscape. Throw in some chairs, flowers, maybe an Elvis—a role Vaughn plays, by the by, with conspicuous style and verve—and you could easily get married here, right this second.

But work will continue, right up through the grand opening on Valentine’s Day. In Sure Thing, Hogan, the founder of Flora Pop—a pop-up wedding (and “elopement”) service that operates out of a vintage-style teardrop camper Hogan built herself—intends to provide a comfort level beyond that of other Vegas chapels. Flora Pop has married couples on rooftops, in alleys and in open desert. Hogan provides the flowers and conducts the ceremony, while Vaughn, also an officiant, stands ready in the aforementioned Elvis jumpsuit. Flora Pop offers a focused, personal, soulful ceremony. Sure Thing just moves it inside.

“We want to focus on experiences,” Hogan says, “versus …”

“… just getting people in and out,” Vaughn finishes. “We’ve seen how the other chapels operate, as if no one is special.”

Sure Thing satisfies the requirements the principals have for a chapel in which they themselves would like to get married: It’s intimate, it’s non-traditional and it shows the care and flourish of true artists. (By the way, Hogan is a superb photographer, and Vaughn founded Battle Born Pins; it almost seems an effort for these two not to turn around and create something awesome.) It’s also largely stress-free: You can book Sure Thing online (surethingchapel.com) for the flat rate of $450 per half-hour, with add-ons (an organist, Vaughn’s Elvis) just a couple clicks away. You’re even allowed to bring in your own photographer, which is all but unheard of in Vegas.

There’s more to the Flora Pop/Sure Thing story than can be said here. For example: Hogan is also the officiant at Taco Bell’s chapel on the Strip, and one of Sure Thing’s pre-opening events was a Dunkin’ pop-up, with donut bouquets and the whole works. (“I don’t know how I became the fast-food wedding officiant, but it’s who I am,” Hogan says.) Ultimately, their mission is perhaps best summed up like this: “We’re creative people,” Vaughn says. “This place is an outlet for us to challenge ourselves: How do we get more weird?”

“And how do we get more weird people to hang out with us?” Hogan says, laughing. The answer, naturally, is by offering a sure thing. –Geoff Carter
