Getting married in Grand Teton National Park next year will cost you a little more than if you did it this year, as the permit fee is going to $200/Rebecca Latson file
The fee for getting married in Grand Teton National Park with the Tetons as a backdrop will be a bit more expensive next year than it has been, with the price of a wedding permit jumping to $200.
The $75 increase from the current fee is just one of the increases that will take effect in the park on January 1.
Each year the park conducts a review of the special-use permit program, including a comparison of the amount of fees collected over the past year for each special use with the operational costs associated with that use. The primary operational cost is staff time to issue the permits and conduct other activities such as maintenance, patrol, monitoring, or cleaning which may be associated with a particular special use.
Also increasing next year is the commercial film permit, which is going from $275 to $325.
Fees that are not changing include:
* Motorized Boat Permit, it will remain $40
* Non-Motorized Boat Permit, it will remain $12
* Special Event Permit, it will remain $200
* Backcountry Permit, it will remain $45 for advanced purchased and $35 for walk-in purchase
Park visitors are reminded that a no-fee permit is required for some other special park uses such as collegiate educational courses, First Amendment activities, and the scattering of ashes. For more information, check out this page.
