General Advice for Wedding Parties: (top)
Each of the National Park sites described above are open to the public and may be heavily visited, particularly picnic areas during meal times. The use of these public areas is on a first-come, first-served basis; they are not reserved. Wedding parties may not keep other park visitors from using these public areas.
If fewer than 10 people are in your wedding party, you may use any other park area normally open to public use, except meadows.
Limited parking exists in all Yosemite National Park wedding locations. Use of car pools and shuttle buses is recommended. Please tread lightly whenever visiting Yosemite National Park so as not to disturb the natural environment or serenity.
All vehicles, including motorcycles, must be parked in designated areas only. Off-road traffic is not permitted. Special conveyances, including but not limited to horse-drawn carriages and hot air balloons are prohibited.
No animals or insects may be released as part of a wedding ceremony nor can seeds be thrown or anything else released that would constitute litter or change the environment.
A general Park rule is that any activity not permitted to the general public also is not permitted of wedding parties. Violation of Park rules and regulations are subject to fines.
