In addition, there is also an entry fee per vehicle of $35. -The reception and ceremony are an hour and a half apart, have a good breakfast and pack some snacks :) -Glacier point is a beautiful area, feel free to arrive early to explore and take photos, but after the ceremony, you'll want to head on out ;)
