Annnddd gorgeous. I guess they just updated their rules because their website is being funky, but man, they're strict! There's a lot of things I understand and are common sense... but some of them I don't get.
Rules of Nazi Missouri (Paraphrased, of course)
#1 - You can't put stuff in sidewalks.
#2 - No arches, stages, tents, EZ-ups, etc. P.S. No aisle runners.
#3 - Get off my lawn! (Don't tear up our grass.)
#4 - Stay out! (Don't touch our buildings/fences.)
#5 - You can only show up to set up 2 hours prior to your event. You have the same time period to tear down & clean up this mess.
#6 - We don't care if park guests photobomb your wedding photos. That's okay, it's their park too.
#7 - Park in the parking lot, stay off the grass.
#8 - No signs/banners
#9 - No generators, no electricity. I hope you have good battery life.
#10 - No bubbles.
#11 - No artificial sound enhancing devices. I hope your officiant can project his voice.
#12 - No rice, bird seed, flower petals, confetti, streamers, etc. P.S. No live animals/insects/goldfish centerpieces.
#13 - No excessive drinking. "Excessive" is up to the opinion of the park ranger you're talking to at the time.
#14 - No decorating of the post-wedding vehicle. P.S. Pick up your trash.
#15 - We can cancel on you if it rains the day before.
#16 - Break any of these rules and we'll kick you out. No refunds.
