Soon-to-be-married couples hoping for a fairy tale wedding may consider hosting their wedding and reception at Disney World. From the background of the Magic Kingdom to nightly firework displays, the internationally phenomenal theme park Disney World is the perfect setting for exchanging wedding vows. Here are a few tips to help you plan a memorable Disney World wedding.

1. Type of Wedding

When hosting and planning a wedding, the first order of business is deciding how many people to include on your special day. Because Disney World weddings may require travel, some bride and grooms choose to keep the affair intimate. This usually involves inviting parents, siblings, grandparents, and close friends. However, if cost is not an issue, the theme park is large enough to accommodate a huge gala up to 250 people.

2. Contact and Arrange a Visit to Disney World

Disney weddings are common. Thus, the theme park has a pavilion which is intended to host special events. Before contacting the pavilion center, research the facility online. Upon contacting a special events coordinator, this person can provide answers to additional questions. If the wedding packages fit into your wedding budget, the coordinator will likely arrange a visit to the facility.

3. Discuss Wedding Packages

Unfortunately, Disney World weddings are not inexpensive. If planning a private wedding for two, without additional guests, couples can expect to pay something like $3,000. This price includes accommodations at a Disney resort and tickets to Disney attractions.

Disney weddings for up to 20 guests are priced around $8,000. For huge galas, in which a large number of family and friends are invited, anticipate spending between $19,000 and $25,000.

4. Wedding Coordinator vs. Making Own Arrangements

Takeaways
  • Disney World weddings range in price from $3000 to $25,000.
  • Disney wedding packages include resort accommodation, ceremony, and park tickets.
  • To lower the cost of a Disney wedding, choose an off-season date.
