3800 Disney Wedding

[BumpinGTP]

Liz and I are looking into doing a Disney wedding and I would like all the input I can get on it. Has anyone here had one? Anything you would do differently? We plan to have around 150 guests that would realistically be able to make it to Disney for the wedding.

I hear they are fun, expensive... and really, pardon the pun, fairytale like LOL

I am sure if you (or Liz) went to some wedding/bride forums you could find some feedback.

I'd love to do something like that, but I'm not sure it's realistic for us.

Here's the site for them

And here's a forum for them....looks like a lot of information and Liz could ask specific questions and stuff.

Thanks Jacque. I have been checking out the first site for about a week now and playing around with the wish list creator. The forum will definately be helpful, thanks.

A. I used to work at Disney...

B. I have been to one...

C. Get ready!

my sister still has friends who work down there also, since she used to work at WDW also. I don't know if they can offer any help but let me know! My family will be there in a month and my dad is a Disney Vacation Club member as well, Disney is in our blood! LOL It's a wonder we didn't have a disney wedding LMAO!

 

[BumpinGTP]

Liz worked there too. She did the same program as you John, I think. Thats why she is so excited about the idea now.

 

[EmersonHart13]

Yeah I am a DVC member...

Best suggestion for a Disney wedding. Avoid anything name brand. Use Disney music because you can get it free, but don't put Mickey on every table. Create the feeling of Disney, but don't pay the mouse. Best theme for that is Castles and fairy tales....

Bumpin and Mickey at a gentleman's club.... nice. :lolsign:

Sounds different.

 

[EmersonHart13]

Steve, you missed a heck of a wedding show last night... I was told you "had to work"

 

[BumpinGTP]

Yeah, Liz told me you won a free tux.

We are going to be having the wedding up here now instead of Disney since alot of people have already been saying they cant make it. We are probably going to be looking at places next week.

Well that is good, my cousin is doing the destination wedding and well most of the family isn't going. OH well....

We found our reception site already, just need to put down the deposit. No rush as we have almost 3 years...

Why not a Kiddieland wedding? It's just as good!

Nice, going to wear armor instead of a tux?

The wife and I did our honeymoon to Disney. She'd never been there so we had a blast...especially at Pleasure Island!

I stood up for my friends wedding, and this is where the reception was. It was a kick ass place, and a kick ass time.

Good to hear. I hadnt talked to anyone that had ever been there so its good to hear an unbiased opinion on it. It fits what we are looking for pertectly. I want a semi-secluded venue that can hold several hundred people and is not a common place.

The wedding was on southwest highway, across from the kids farm. The chaple is up on top of the hill. You cant see it from the road. The wedding theme was midevil times, so the castle was a perfect party. The food, dancing, bar was in that room on the website. Ill see if I can dig up a few pics. They arent digital.

This is like 15minutes from my house, its alright you can even just go there and have dinner you two and check it out, the food isn't that bad but just go there.. imo check it out, I grew up by it so its like ehh whatever, my friends went there and had dinner one night and thought for the price it was over-rated and the quality for there dinner wasn't all that.. I personally think wedding dinners are usually not the greatest anyhow, its basically buffet food they just serve you..lol

Good scenery though. But you want quality to
