Welcome to planDisney Derek and thank you so much for stopping by with your question! It sounds like you're beginning a truly exciting journey toward planning a
Disney Fairy Tale Wedding, and I couldn't be more excited for you. As a past Disney bride who said “I do” at Walt Disney World, I'd be happy to assist.
One of the most emotional and memorable parts of the day is that walk down the aisle, and choosing the right song to accompany that moment is such a beautiful way to make the ceremony feel uniquely yours. While Disney offers plenty of magical music options, you're definitely not limited to Disney owned songs. If you have a special song in mind that holds meaning for you and your partner, even if it's not tied to Disney, you're more than welcome to incorporate it into your ceremony.
I actually walked down the aisle to a non Disney song myself, so I completely understand wanting to choose something that’s meaningful and personal to you. The good news is that Disney is very flexible when it comes to music, and you're more than welcome to use a song that isn’t part of the Disney catalog.
Once you're in the planning process, you'll have a chance to talk through all the ceremony details with your Disney wedding planner, including your music selections. I had to provide a digital download of my song and upload it via Dropbox so their team could access it and have it ready for the big moment. Your planner will guide you through exactly what they need and when. They'll make sure everything is timed just right and that your music plays exactly how you imagined.
So yes, walking down the aisle to a non Disney song is absolutely possible and if it’s something special to you, it’s worth including. Your planner will be there to advise you every step of the way and help bring your vision to life.
Derek, I hope this helps as you continue planning your magical wedding at Walt Disney World. It truly is a once in a lifetime experience, and adding those personal touches, like the perfect song, makes it all the more special. If you have any other questions along the way, please don’t hesitate to
reach out to me directly. I’d be honored to help however I can. Thank you again for visiting planDisney, and best wishes as you step into this exciting new chapter. We hope to see you real soon!
