WEDDINGS AT CABRILLO NATIONAL MONUMENT
To help you determine if Cabrillo National Monument is the best choice for your wedding location, we offer the following guidelines:
• Permit fee: $75.00 This fee is non-refundable; however, time or date of wedding can be changed if there is no conflict with other weddings.
• Before completing the Wedding Permit Application, we highly recommend that you come up to the park to see the Bluff Event Site, to see if it will meet your needs.
• Weddings are permitted at the Bluff Event Site only. No area of the park is set aside for the exclusive use of any group; we simply allow weddings in this area of minimum visitor use.
• Maximum number of people: 100. The Bluff Event Site cannot accommodate more than this.
• Weddings are on a first come, first served basis.
• Due to the natural terrain of the area, set-ups such as chairs, carpet runners, arches, trellises, podiums, organs/pianos, or related items are not allowed.
• Non-amplified music from flutes, harps, guitars, etc. is permitted. Amplified music or public address systems are not allowed.
• Often there may be a guest who must sit down during the ceremony; someone may bring a chair for them and carry it out when leaving. Chairs may not be set up in advance of the ceremony.
• Flowers are permitted as long as they arrive and depart with the wedding party.
• No rice, birdseed, flower petals, etc. may be thrown or left in the park.
• Vehicles must park in the main parking area. Disabled persons may be driven to the lighthouse area with advance permission.
• Weddings may not start later than 90 minutes before park closing time (4:45 PM Memorial Day through Labor Day and 3:45 PM the remainder of the year).
• Receptions are not permitted within the park.
• There is no alternate location for the ceremony in case of inclement weather.
