    Not been married there but visited the day after I was married in Jackson Hole.  It reminded me of the Old Faithful Inn in the fact that it's a tourist attraction.  It has great views, a number of gift shops, but seemed very isolated from anything else.  All your guests would either need to stay there or would be traveling a ways to get to it. 

    One issue I had to consider when I looked at the famous Stanley Hotel in Colorado (where they filmed the Shining & Dumb & Dumber) was how private my wedding would be if it was held outside. Or, if it was inside, how the noise would be.  As I looked through other people's wedding pictures to get an idea of the settings.  I saw tourists in the background in many of their photos!  At that point I decided to continue on searching.

    I just happen to be exploring ideas in Tetons today!

    Having the reception in the park is ran through Iconic Weddings http://www.iconicweddings.com/.

    "All event spaces at Jackson Lake Lodge are subject to a room rental fee and food & beverage minimum purchase.  The total cost of your wedding reception is based on your menu selections.  Events can range from a simple cocktail reception to an elegant four-course dinner, depending on your taste and budget. Rental fees range from $750 to $3000 and include all tables, chairs, dishes, glassware, flatware, service staff and basic linens.  Food and beverage minimums range from $2,000 - $15,000, and are subject to tax and gratuity."

    If you want your ceremony somewhere else in the park (ie. Schwabacher's landing, etc), you have a $50 permit fee.  Park entrance fees are required.  The Chapel of the Transfiguration is not actually in the park and requires that you contact them.  Then have the reception at one of the places Iconic Weddings runs.

    I will be getting married at Jackson Lake Lodge. I'm originally from the area and its absolutely beautiful. Yes it is an isolated area, but generally when people are looking at getting married in a national park, that's what they are looking for. It's a fun destination wedding location if you and your guests have never visited the area because it is so different from other locations.
