10 Stunning National Park Wedding Venues

The stunning rock formations create a natural canopy or “chuppah” for couples marrying in Arches. Though the park allows the assembled to celebrate with a cookout afterward, many couples head to a hotel or resort in Moab for their receptions. Photo courtesy of Moab photographer Angela Hayes.

Rocky Mountain National Park offers gorgeous mountain and lake vistas for a wedding, like this one at Sprague Lake. Note that most sites within the park only allow gatherings of 20 or fewer people. Couples hoping for a larger gathering or more traditional facilities often choose nearby Estes Park instead, according to national parks wedding photographer Maddie Mae.

Relatively mild weather year-round and stunning scenery make Glen Canyon National Recreation Area a popular wedding destination. Within the park, weddings may be held at the Lake Powell Resort. Photo courtesy of bride @h.stephans on Instagram.

Two chapels within the park — Chapel of the Transfiguration and the Chapel of the Sacred Heart — can be rented for wedding ceremonies. Jackson Lake Lodge is the most popular of the park’s eco-friendly resorts for wedding receptions, able to accommodate up to 600 guests.
