Acadia National Park Weddings

Small, intimate weddings can be held at the Acadia National Park (Youtube) without the use of a permit, so long as they are less than ten people in total. For larger Acadia National Park weddings a permit is required, but the extra paperwork is certainly worth it to be married in this national gem of a park.

Everything from sweeping ocean views to mountain backdrops can be found, and nature lovers will certainly love all the photo opportunities that a wedding in Acadia National Park offers. There are many restrictions set in place to ensure the safety of the park, so couples are encouraged to contact the park directly before planning their wedding.
