Ceremonies Permit

All weddings, ceremonies or scattering of cremains in Midpen preserves require a permit, regardless of size.

Ceremony Guidelines

  • Limitations on parking and the need for all participants to hike into the location may limit the feasibility of holding a ceremony at one of our preserves.
  • All participants must follow these rules:
    - Do not impede traffic on the trails, vistas, or access to other preserve visitors in any way.
    - No vehicle access into preserve.
    - Please carpool.
    - No balloons, decorations, tents or catering.
    - No confetti, birdseed or rice (bubbles are allowed).
  • We recommend that anyone interested in having a ceremony at Midpen review the basic conditions and suggested ceremony locations and visit the potential site before requesting a permit.
