GRSM_WEDDING_SITES

Weddings and other special events such as church services require a Special Use Permit from the park and must follow specific guidelines. Completed applications for Special Use Permits for weddings and other special events, along with a non-refundable $50 application fee, must be received by the park no less than 14 days prior to the start of the event. A Special Use Permit may be required for certain activities such as political events, public assemblies, demonstrations, the distribution of literature, and other activities commonly referred to as "First Amendment" activities. For more information about Special Use Permits or to determine if your activity requires one, please call [phone] or email the park with the subject line "Attn: Special Use Permits." All locations are outdoors and rustic in nature without protection from the weather. Some sites offer seating at a few picnic tables or wooden benches. In planning your wedding, please keep in mind that the park generally restricts the use of equipment such as tables, chair, tents, banners, displays, etc.; simple ceremonies that take advantage of the natural environment, views and surroundings are recommended. Review the wedding locations map, group size and site restrictions. Ceremony size includes all members of the wedding party and guests. This includes officiate(s), photographer(s), bride and groom, etc. The permit does not give exclusive use of the area. All sites remain open to the public. National Park entrance fees apply. The following guidelines are included as conditions of the permit: Follow "Leave No Trace" Principles No disruption of the atmosphere of peace and tranquility in the park; no amplified music. Minimize interference with park programs, activities, and visitors. Minimize interference with the operations of public facilities or the services of NPS concessionaires or contractors. Maintain a safe and healthy environment for other park visitors.
