Can you help fill in the blanks $$$$$

[Merandab4]

I am having an intimate wedding, and as I already know that this is a package deal, I am curious to find out the break down of what everything costs. So far this is what I have found..........

Officiant...........................$125

Flowers...........................$160
(I'm estimating $150 for bridal bouquet, and $10 for boutonniere)

Cake...............................Not sure
Cake topper...................$24.99

Photographer.................$225

Limo................................$292
($73 per hour x 4 hours)

1 bottle of Fairytale Cuvee..$68

Violinist...............................Don't know

Location fee........................Don't know

Wedding Coordinator..........Don't know

What I have listed here adds up to $895. Where is the other $1405 going. Please help me determine the costs of these other amenities that are included in the package. If I have forgotten something or miss priced something, please let me know.
Thanks.

I have heard the site fee for the pavillion is 500.00. I could be wrong though. I believe I may have seen this either on the unofficial disney wedding site or through andrea's book. As my opinion, though, with what you have leftover, I think that it sounds like a fair price. Cakes in my area are 1-2.00 a slice.
That is really interesting. I am glad someone thought to do it.

I'm thinking cake for a Custom Wedding - in 1996 (has it really been that long???) was $5-$10 per slice.

There was not a "named" fee for the EM - but I believe 10-20% is average where we live.

Don't forget 4 nights in a hotel.

Well, for a custom, the WP is $2200 and all others are $1200.

A violinist is $425 for 3 hours

My cake (feeds 50) is $452.63 plus $76.04 serving fee ($8.50 pp for cake, minimium 50 and $1.70 pp fee for 42 people)

My officiant is $175 (Rev. Day)

Hope that helps you figre out some of the money.

Thanks to all of you who responded to this thread.

I do want to let you know that My location is at the Yacht club, not the WP. I know that WP weddings are $700 more than the other locations. Also, I will only be having the violinist for less than 2 hours, and how much do you think the cake cost as a whole cake, not by the slice? (this would be the cake provided in the package)

[Firefly Girl]

The Yacht Club Wedding Gazebo is $1200 site fee.

Meranda, if you're thinking of getting a less expensive wedding you might want to look at packages with the Swan, they're beautiful. I don't know that this whole break down of the pricing you're doing is going to work out the way you want, to be perfectly honest.

[Merandab4]

Thanks for the suggestion (I did hear that that Swan was beautiful and that they do offer more than the other resorts), but I do already have my wedding packaged booked. I am actually happy about the price, but was just seeing if I could determine where the money was being spent, thats all.

Meranda I know if I was having a bridal bouquet made by Disney for my Custom weding that it would cost around $250 so that's an extra $100 right there.

Also where the cake is concerned - I think they would price that at around $200 looking at the sizes of them for intimate weddings.

I calculated the violinist at $283 for 2 hours.

I certainly see where you are coming from in trying to work out just what it is you're paying for on what Disney are charging you.

When I worked it out on all the above I got a total of $2678 or $2578 if you take off the $100 for the bigger bridal bouquet costs I quoted.

[Merandab4]

Thank you Sam, and everyone else who responded to this thread. I just wanted to see what the money was being spent on. Thanks for filling in the blanks were I couldn't!

One biggy that no one mentioned is the wedding coordinator as well. My coordinator went way out of her way to take care of everything for our wedding.
