Wedding Flowers
Flowers are included with the experience. Submit preferred colors or styles in advance, but substitutions may be required because of availability.

Why Choose the Shelby Heritage Center?
The Shelby Heritage Center opened at its current Las Vegas facility in 2013. The 15,000-square-foot public center sits beside Shelby American’s production facility and displays more than 30 vehicles.
The collection and vehicle placement change over time. Couples may see historic Cobras, Mustangs, racing vehicles, modern Shelby models, prototypes, memorabilia, engines, and exhibits about Carroll Shelby’s life and company.
Automotive Wedding Backdrops
Performance cars, polished showroom floors, Shelby branding, racing displays, and museum exhibits create distinctive ceremony and portrait settings.
Indoor Climate-Controlled Venue
The indoor museum setting avoids many of the heat, wind, dust, and weather concerns associated with outdoor desert weddings.
Private Small-Group Format
The six-person limit keeps the experience intimate and works well for elopements, close family groups, vow renewals, and private proposals.
Changing Vehicle Collection
Specific cars cannot be guaranteed because the Heritage Center regularly updates its inventory and display placement.
