Las Vegas wedding chapels have been ordered to stop using Elvis Presley’s likeness by the company that controls his image – in a move which many say will decimate their business.<\/p>\n
Authentic Brands Group sent cease-and-desist letters in early May to multiple chapels, which are expected to be compliant by now.<\/p>\n
With Elvis so closely tied to Vegas’ wedding industry, some say the move could decimate their businesses.<\/p>\n
‘We are a family-run business, and now we’re hanging with the big dogs,’ said Kayla Collins, who operates LasVegasElvisWeddingChapel.com and the Little Chapel of Hearts with her husband. <\/p>\n
‘That’s our bread and butter. I don’t get it. We were just hitting our stride again through COVID, then this happens. ‘<\/p>\n
The Vegas Wedding Chamber said: ‘It is especially concerning that Las Vegas chapels and impersonators are being targeted as so many people’s livelihood depends on these weddings using his image.’ <\/p>\n
