About the venue

A private club above the city, a short step from the Strip

The Stirling Club is a private club inside the Turnberry Place high-rise complex, just off the Las Vegas Strip. The building opened in 2000 and covers 72,000 square feet over four stories, with its event spaces gathered on the third floor. The club has been recently renovated, and non-members may host private events, which makes it a wedding option for couples who are not members themselves.

The third floor gives couples several different rooms to work with. The Stirling Room seats 180, the SC Pool & Bar holds up to 350 for a reception, and the Veranda is used for ceremonies. The Spirits Lounge, the outdoor Veranda Patio and the Blue Room & Patio suit smaller gatherings, and a full third-floor buyout welcomes 500 or more guests.

Lulan Studio at The Stirling Club

A Las Vegas venue we are glad to travel for

We photograph weddings at The Stirling Club, and we have planned days here from a full afternoon-to-evening wedding to a short, intimate ceremony with only a few guests. The grand curved staircase is the heart of most of our days here: it is where we photograph veil portraits, staircase entrances and, at the end of the night, a grand exit with everyone gathered around.

Couples here often ask for an editorial, elegant look that makes the most of the architecture, and we plan a short set of night portraits so the Las Vegas lights are part of the story. Some couples also add a quick trip to the Las Vegas Sign for portraits before the ceremony.

Good to know

What is specific to The Stirling Club

A few things about the club that shape the day, and that are worth settling early with your coordinator.

One floorThe event spaces are all on the third floor. The ceremony, cocktail hour and reception stay close together, and the rooms you are not using for dinner make good portrait backdrops.
CeremonyThe Veranda is used for ceremonies, and the Veranda Patio is an outdoor space. We have also photographed a chuppah ceremony and a lively hora here, and the rooms suit cultural traditions well.
The staircaseThe grand curved staircase is the signature spot. It works for veil portraits, a staircase entrance and a grand exit at the end of the night with guests gathered on the steps.
Access windowPlan your photography start time around the hours you have the rooms. If your access begins in the late afternoon, getting ready portraits and a first look may need to happen early in that window.
Night portraitsThe terrace looks out toward the city skyline. A short set after dark lets the Las Vegas lights into your photographs, and it is worth building into the reception timeline.
Holiday seasonWinter dates can bring seasonal decor to the halls, which adds warmth to portraits and the staircase entrance.

Questions couples ask

Questions couples ask about The Stirling Club

How many hours of coverage do couples book at The Stirling Club?

Five to six hours covers a typical wedding day here, from getting ready through the first stretch of dancing. For an intimate elopement with only a few guests, two hours is usually enough for getting ready moments, the ceremony, family photographs and portraits around the club.

Do we need to be members to hold our wedding here?

No. The Stirling Club is a private club, and non-members may host private events there. The club can walk you through booking your date and the rooms that fit your guest count.

Where are the best portrait spots at The Stirling Club?

The grand curved staircase is the favorite, with its arches and lanterns. The white arched hallways, the wood-paneled lounges with tall windows and the terrace with palms and the city skyline each give a different look without leaving the floor.

Can we add portraits at the Las Vegas Sign?

Yes. Some couples add a short trip to the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Sign before the ceremony. Allow about an extra hour for travel and photographs, and plan it into the timeline with your coordinator.

Should we plan a grand exit?

It is one of our favorite ways to end a day here. A last dance, then a walk down the main stairs with your guests gathered around, and a group photograph before you leave makes a memorable final set of images.
