Washington DC Monument Weddings

Did you know there are restrictions when it comes to getting married at a DC monument?  Yes there are.  Although our tax dollars pay for these amazing monuments, the city has issued certain requirements needed before anyone can say "I Do."

There are three (3) permitted locations for wedding ceremonies within the National Mall and Memorial Parks:

• Jefferson Memorial, West Lawn: Two (2) hour limit
• George Mason Memorial: One (1) hour limit, No set-up is permitted
• DC War Memorial

There are also restrictions that wedding photographers must follow as well, as fees need to be paid before they can shoot your wedding.  So if getting married on the West Lawn of the Jefferson Memorial is your cup of tea, then make sure you ask the photographer whether he has the permits required.  You don't want everyone showing up for your wedding and come to find out that your photographer can't shoot there.
