    elopement onsite or at the hotels?We met at Disneyland almost 20 years ago & got engaged there a few years ago. Thinking either elopement if affordable or maybe a ceremony offsite & a reception at one of the hotels/restaurants. 30 people.

    Hi Nicole,

    Welcome back to planDisney! We’re so grateful that you continue to trust us with helping you plan your magical trips to the Happiest Place on Earth. Let me start by saying congratulations on your engagement! I’m so excited to help point you in the right direction for your Happily Ever After ceremony!

    To start dreaming about your fairy-tale wedding at the Disneyland Resort, I recommend reaching out to Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings. Their team can provide estimates and help you design an experience that brings your vision to life. To get inspired, check out Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings specials on Disney+ (including Holiday Magic). The ceremonies featured are so romantic and truly magical!

    If you’re looking to rent a conference room at one of the Disneyland Resort Hotels for your celebration or reception, you can contact Disney Meetings & Events. They’ll help you plan all the details for hosting your special event at the resort.

    If you’d like to enjoy a celebratory meal on property, here are some restaurants that are especially good for accommodating larger parties:

    * Jazz Kitchen (Downtown Disney)
    * Naples Ristorante e Bar (Downtown Disney)
    * Paseo (Downtown Disney)
    * Din Tai Fung (Downtown Disney – very popular, so large party reservations may be more challenging)
    * Napa Rose (Grand Californian Hotel – perfect for a quiet, intimate dinner for just the two of you)

    Before the festivities begin, be sure to stop by any hotel lobby or Guest Services location to pick up a “Happily Ever After” button. It’s a sweet way to celebrate around the resort, and don’t be surprised if Cast Members and fellow guests offer heartfelt congratulations throughout your day.

    Nicole, I hope this helps you with your ceremony planning! If you have any more questions or need additional advice, feel free to reach out to me or any of my fellow planDisney panelists. We’re always here to sprinkle a little extra pixie dust on your love story.

    Wishing you a lifetime of love, laughter, and magic!

    – Melinda
