If you are looking for a unique place to have your wedding outdoors, you should check out your local state park. Whatever the park you plan to get married at is just down the street or you decide to go to one in a different state, here are some things to consider as you start planning your special day.

You should first make sure the area can accommodate your guests, especially if your guest list is long. This means there probably needs to be more than a small bed and breakfast nearby, unless you are okay with your guests having to drive far to get from their hotel to the state park you have chosen. You can plan the accommodations yourself by checking out a map to see what is nearby. You can also rely on the park's staff members to tell you which hotels are in the area and which ones come highly recommended.

You should then find out what is allowed as far as what you can bring in. For example, find out if you can bring in an arch for the nuptials, or if the staff will even provide you with one. Then learn how many tables and chairs there is room for the reception, and ask if you can bring in tents for shade, decorations, and food and drinks from outside vendors. Some places that frequently host weddings may even have packages for this type of occasion, so inquire about this possibility. If there are packages, you might be required to use them or at least only use the recommended vendors.

You also need to make sure the state park you have in mind is the perfect place for your wedding. Take a look at the scenery, especially at sunset, and determine if this is what you have always wanted for your special day. Most outdoor areas feature plenty of trees, grass, and flowers, in addition to mountains, lakes, or empire forests in some places. If you really want the ocean as a backdrop to your big day, look for parks with coastlines attached so you can really have it all. Your photographer will thank you!

Lots of people choose to get married in their local state park. If you are thinking about this option, you just need to find out these basic facts ahead of time. Once you have the basic requirements settled, you can then focus on the tiny details that keep most couples busy up until the day they get married.
