Michael Jordan‘s first wedding took place without much fanfare. In fact, it happened in a place that is used for that sort of request. Moreover, they don’t like to talk about the celebrities that come there, because well, all the people that do come there are celebrities! Seriously, ask Joan Collins.

We are not sure how many times a place has to see a wedding before it is known for it. But in the case of Little White Wedding Chapel, it was already pretty popular.
We don’t think a venue that has seen Frank Sinatra and Mia Farrow tie the knot in 1966, needs Michael Jordan for publicity. But, here we are. So why is the wedding venue so popular?
Little White Wedding Chapel: The venue where Michael Jordan and Joan Collins tied the knot
To our knowledge, it would seem that during the 1950s, the chapel opened its doors in Las Vegas, Nevada. The owners opened it as a place where you could get married – quickly.
The place grew in popularity thanks to the fact that a lot of celebrities got married there in the 1960s. They include Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, Judy Garland, and Mark Herron.
Eventually, its reputation preceded it. And even celebrities like Joan Collins and Michael Jordan chose the venue for their nuptials in the 1980s.
Why is it so popular?
The Little White Wedding Chapel is an iconic wedding venue that has hosted many celebrity weddings over the years. Michael Jordan and his former wife Juanita Vanoy tied the knot in 1989.
Actress Joan Collins married her fourth husband, Swedish singer Peter Holm, there in 1985. Thanks to Collins’ celebrity the news broke headlines. Bruce Willis and Demi Moore also got hitched in the same venue in 1987.
It is famous because of the range of services it offers in a short time span. It is also a very intimate venue and the charm of having your wedding in the same place celebrities got married adds to its appeal.
