What to know

Know the permit rules

Simple ceremonies of up to ten people can happen without a permit; larger groups need an NPS Special Use Permit, and each location has its own guest cap. Apply well ahead, as the park books limited dates.

Receptions happen off park land

Acadia does not allow receptions, amplified sound, chairs, or thrown petals. Plan your dinner at a nearby inn or venue, and use the park for the ceremony and photos.

Plan for access and weather

Cadillac Mountain needs a summit reservation, parking is limited, and coastal weather shifts fast. A planner who knows Acadia keeps it smooth.
