Whitney,
Thanks for asking your question to planDisney!
While I did not get to have a Walt Disney World wedding myself, I have been fortunate enough to be invited to several, as well as to some amazing vow renewal ceremonies. You will not be surprised to hear that Disney really knows how to pull off a magical experience for the happy couple and all their guests!
There is a group at Disney that focuses on helping you plan just this kind of celebration, and they can share with you all the wonderful venues and activities that can bring your Disney Wedding to life. I have met with the team there in the past, and they can guide you through all the decisions, from venue, to food, to special touches that will make your day unique. I have been to celebrations that were held inside actual Disney theme park attractions, in secluded grottos, and at lake side dessert parties that were held under the glow of the nearby fireworks show.
A few tips they recommended for when you meet with them to plan your special day
- Consider multiple venues that match the mood you want to set for your event
- Have a solid idea of your budget, and let them help you with ways to stay within that guideline
- Be ready with an idea of your wedding attendance expectations
- Think about your attire, and if a princess-inspired wedding dress should be part of your plans
Finally, be open to some truly unexpected touches for this celebration. The team at Disney has more magic up their sleeves than you can imagine, from wedding cakes that have moving animated art projected onto them, to carriage rides, to in-room personal touches that will help you remember the day for the rest of your lives. Basically, they will bring the magic, you just must be ready to accept how truly unique your day can be!
Write us back if you have any other questions, or if you want ideas of wedding event-adjacent activities.
Have a Magical Vacation!
