Park Regulations & Conditions for Outdoor Weddings.
* Access for other park visitors must not be impeded. A Special Use
Permit is authorization for your private event to take place on
parklands and does not grant exclusive use of an area. It is
recommended that you choose less visited sites and schedule your
event early or late in the day if you wish to increase the privacy of
your event.
* Available parking is limited, often crowded and not guaranteed. Car
pooling or van shuttles are highly recommended. This will help
ensure your guests arrive on schedule and at the correct location.
* A maximum of three hours may be scheduled. Please plan
accordingly. This shall include set-up and breakdown time. No set-up
will be allowed prior to the start time on your permit.
* Special Use Permits may be denied during periods of heavy use,
(e.g., Labor Day weekend, 4th of July, Fleet Week activities, etc.).
* Decorations and equipment must be discussed prior to issuance of
your permit. The use of special equipment, such as canopies, arches,
chairs, or other decorations may require park administrative review
and are not allowed in certain areas. Please discuss your decoration
plans with the Office of Special Park Uses and consider using the
parklands as your backdrop.
* Special conveyances, including but not limited to, horse drawn
carriages, electric carts and hot air balloons are prohibited.
* In respect of other park visitors, amplified music is prohibited.
Acoustic music will be considered. Exceptions can be made for
portable tape decks or CD players if discussed in advance with the
Office of Special Park Uses. Standing speakers, disk jockeys, public
address systems or any other type of amplified device are prohibited.
* To protect parklands and wildlife, the releasing of balloons, doves
or butterflies and the throwing of rice, birdseed, flower petals or
other natural or artificial material is not allowed. Birdseed provides
an unnatural food source for park wildlife and may introduce exotic
plant species. Because of the Park's close proximity to the ocean,
balloons are prohibited since they can be harmful to marine life.
Releasing doves or butterflies is prohibited by law and will upset the
natural balance of wildlife in the Park.
* Fires, candles, tiki torches and all other forms of open flame are
prohibited.
* Affixing directional signage to existing buildings, property, signs,
poles or plants is not allowed. Please respect the uncluttered views of
the Park. Any posted signs will be removed immediately by park
personnel. The Special Park Uses office will be happy to provide you
with written directions and maps to provide to your guests.
* Alcohol is permitted in most areas and there are restrictions on
glass. Please discuss alcohol use in advance.
* All trash associated with your private event must be bagged and
removed from the Park. Please make certain that someone in your
group is assigned to remove trash and decorations after your event
or you will be billed for staff overtime at $65.00 per hour.
