Do you have to get a permit to have your wedding in the wilderness?

We've discussed the idea of getting married in the mountains behind our house. There is a paved road all the way up the mountain with numerous spots to stop and go play in the woods. Its open all day and night to the public, I never see anyone patrolling it. We would be having just the ceremony, so no food, drinks, alcohol etc.



Do we need a permit to hold the ceremony there? If we do, how would we find out who to get it from?Do you have to get a permit to have your wedding in the wilderness?
You should definitely at least look into getting a permit. It would be awful if the day of your wedding, a Fish and Game officer told you that you had to leave. Your best bet would be to go to your town hall and speak with someone there. If you told them where it is and what you want to do there, they should be able to give you the correct information or get you the contact info of who could help you.
If it is not your land then you need permission. If it is government land, you need a permit. Wilderness areas require a permit for almost everything now, even parking. If youre going to have a wedding there, they want to make sure you leave the area exactly as you found it.Do you have to get a permit to have your wedding in the wilderness?
Yes. You need a city or county permit because you are doing this on public property.
Does this place have a name? If so research it on google or in the phone book. See if you can find a phone # to call and ask.
It completely depends on the area. Most national parks do require you but in my state, most parks are owned by the city and they do not require a permit.



However I know certain states like California are much stricter and certain parks like Central Park NYC are way more crowded so therefore require a permit.



It's just like how most beaches in California require one. However I've had several friends get married in parks that did not require it at all.



You'll need to find out who owns the park--is it national, state or local jurisdiction--then contact them to see if a permit is required and how much the permit costs. It completely ranges--many are $55 but some are a couple hundred.
