If you are thinking about getting married there, it is a bit, ummmmm... tacky? It's really just a tourist trap now. I didn't actually see the exhibit or any of the other stuff... if you're thinking it might be along the same lines as Las Vegas as a cool eloping spot, IMO it's not.
When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. ~ John Lennon

I dont think it's tacky...  just like Vegas, you can have an OTT ceremony, or a quiet, traditional ceremony.  Just depends what you want.

My future sister-in-law was married there.  They eloped.  The photos seem nice enough.
