Thanks so much!! :goodvibes

Hello :) Sorry I'm getting to your question so late ;) One of my recommendations is making it an adult reception--this cut down on numbers significantly. Secondly, the fact that it was a destination wedding cut down on numbers too. We invited about 315 people and we got about 190...

Just to put in a good word for the Poly--the rooms are huge. VERY helpful to our families who stayed there for our wedding--plenty of room to put suitcases and shopping without taking up room in your sleeping area. DH and I stayed at GF but we visited our relatives at Poly and were floored by...

I forgot to put any on, lol. I was slightly bummed when I headed to the car and thought of that but then I figured it was better not to be overwhelmed with any smells since i'm prone to headaches :lmao:

Most of our guests stayed at the moderate and the deluxe resorts that we chose, but a few stayed at the value. Don't necessarily assume that they won't wanna spend money on the hotel--they might wanna stay at the hotel where the wedding festivities are taking place, or they might use this as a...

I say underestimate... There is always a disclaimer by Disney on the save-the-dates and the wedding site that the rooms are based on availability anyway--you can't really control whether every single guest will have a room because you don't know when they'll make their reservation. I found that...

I did a rehearsal dinner for 40-some people at California Grill; we had the Napa room, their private dining room which seats up to 50. There is the Sonoma room there also, which is a little bit smaller and seats up to 40. It was great :thumbsup2 I know there is a private dining room at...

The first course was a tomato & mozzarella platter. That was followed by a mixed field greens salad. Then we had the raspberry champagne sorbet course. Their main course was mushroom filled pasta with vegetable sherry broth, leeks, red pepper, and gruyere cheese. All my vegetarian guests said...

I think it has AC, but i purposefully got married in January about 3 weeks ago to have nice cool weather :goodvibes so I was very comfy in the car. The roof of the car is pretty low so Your DF's head will probably brush the ceiling, but he can probably lean back a little bit. The car is not...

Just do 2 weddings :thumbsup2 I'm Catholic, and my husband is Orthodox Christian, so we did a wedding in an Orthodox church. The Disney wedding was our 2nd wedding. :bride:

We paid $800 for our Epcot photo session. It's cheaper than MK and we chose Epcot because there are so many great background options (we did our pictures in Italy, Morocco and Canada). ;)

We didn't differentiate either. But most people figure out who he is since he's placed prominently in the line-up right next to the groom. But maybe you could give him a different colored boutonniere?

Thanks for this! My wedding has passed already, but this is great advice. Thanks for sharing your story :)

Oh, I forgot, drinks weren't included; I added a Beer and Wine package for 2 hours. They do it without asking!! :goodvibes

We had Diane Mahoney - Brown as a sales coordinator. Marion Stewart was our planner and she was outstanding. Her assistant Jennifer was also great.

Hello, I had my rehearsal dinner in the Napa Room and we had a perfect view of Wishes. The event started around 7:30 and Wishes that night was at 8. They turned out the lights in the room and piped in the sound from the show, so it was a great surprise and treat for all the guests. We had...

Here's mine:

I agree with Lynn--he wasn't forced to sell his car. He's probably been LONG aware that he'd have a lot of wedding expenses in the future since he's got 4 daughters; he probably made peace with the fact that selling his car would give him some money to help his kids begin their new lives. If...

I used Pastor Luther Kistler's services; I found him on Disney's list of officiants. Our experience with him was wonderful. He met with us a couple of weeks before the wedding; came to our rehearsal, and was great at the wedding. All of the guests were raving about his sense of humor and the...

We gave the groomsmen Swiss Army Knives that we got on Amazon for a little over $30. They all loved them :thumbsup2
