Wedding Ceremony Permits: You'll need a wedding ceremony permit to get married at Yosemite National Park.

Food and beverages enjoyed at your wedding must be purchased on-site at Yosemite National Park. Food and beverage minimums will be applied to all catered events at Yosemite and vary depending on the event and number of guests. Please note that the food and beverage minimum does not include banquet room rental fees, room blocks, or sales tax, and that the current customary service charge is 20%.

• Because Yosemite is a National Park run by the National Park Service, there will be a vehicle entrance fee collected from each guest.
• Gas stations are available at Wawona Hotel, Crane Flat, and near park entrances. 
• Between October and April, the law requires tire chains to be carried by all vehicles.
• Coolers and food may not be stored in vehicles at any time due to Yosemite's bear population.
• Helium balloons are not permitted in Yosemite National Park.
• Celebratory rice, birdseed, confetti and flower pedals may not be scattered or thrown due to the impact on Yosemite's wildlife.

We take pride in matching your unique preferences with the perfect property for your guests to enjoy during your wedding. From the upscale The Ahwahnee to the rustic camp setting at Curry Village, our four distinctive properties assure you'll find the perfect setting for your special day.

As a national Park, we have a responsibility to ensure that all guests are able to enjoy the peace and tranquility of unspoiled nature. Quiet time starts at 10 PM throughout the Valley, and at 9:30 PM at Wawona Hotel. Dancing at The Ahwahnee  is permitted only in the Winter Club Room. All musical entertainment at any Yosemite facility must be pre-approved by management. Amplified music is not allowed outdoors.

The Ahwahnee does not offer self parking. However, paid valet parking is available at $30 for overnight guests, and $15 for day use.

After we've confirmed your catered event, we’ll provide you with a referral list of local vendors—florists, photographers, musicians and DJ's—make your wedding day unique and unforgettable.
