About VenueFAQ
VenueFAQ is an independent guide to getting married in national parks and other public venues. We bring together information about permits, fees, ceremony locations, group limits, and application steps so couples can understand their options and ask the right questions before making plans.
01What we cover
We are building coverage in phases, starting with national parks. Our wider focus includes suitable public wedding venues managed by federal, state, and local authorities, including public lands, city halls, courthouses, and publicly operated historic or civic spaces.
A venue’s inclusion does not mean it is available for every date, suitable for every ceremony, or open for exclusive use. The managing authority and the terms of your permit or reservation determine what is allowed.
02Who publishes VenueFAQ
VenueFAQ is an independent site. We research each venue, review the official sources, and write and update the guides ourselves. VenueFAQ isn't affiliated with any agency or venue we cover. We don't issue permits, approve applications, or represent the National Park Service or any other agency we cover. Questions or corrections: hello@venuefaq.com.
03What the guides help you do
Our guides are designed to help you:
- Understand whether a ceremony may require a permit or reservation.
- Compare published ceremony locations and group limits.
- Understand published fees and identify additional costs that need confirmation.
- Check restrictions that could affect your plans.
- Find the official application instructions and source documents.
The guides do not guarantee availability, approval, access, or the final cost of an event. Confirm the requirements for your date and plans with the managing authority before making non-refundable commitments. VenueFAQ is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.
04How the information is prepared
Official publications are the main sources for our venue guides. We use automated tools, including AI-assisted tools, to help collect, organize, and draft information. Those tools are not treated as sources.
Our editorial process separates source material, factual review, writing, and page implementation. Review coverage varies by page; a review date is not a claim that every statement across the website has been checked.
Read our editorial process for details about sources, uncertainty, review dates, and corrections.

05How the site is funded
VenueFAQ is free to read. Affiliate commissions and sponsored placements may help support the site. We clearly disclose any affiliate links or paid placements so readers can distinguish commercial content from independent guidance.
Advertisers and affiliates don't influence which venues we cover or how we report official requirements.
