    Custom Made Dress?

    My uncle designed mine. I showed him elements of dresses that I liked, and he came up with drawings of what worked well together. Haven't seen anything on the rack or in magazines like the final product. I highly recommend going custom, so that you will have a dress you love. Can't speak in...

    R2D2 Cake?

    It's your wedding. Do what you want for your day. While it's not what I would choose for myself, R2D2 and Strawberry Fields cakes would be awesome. As far as your dessert party, keep in mind that they have other clients to deal with whose events precede yours by date. You will be given more...

    resort photos

    Disney requires their own photographers for the theme parks. I don't believe there is a restriction on photographers shooting elsewhere on property. You will have to be specific when you say "stylized," and give an idea of price range. For how many hours do you want the photographer? What do...

    Questions

    Then you don't mention it to the other side. If they find out, tell them you're using all the frequent flyer miles you have. And tell grandmother how extremely important she is to you, and that you want to celebrate with her.

    Please Critique My Appetizers

    Don't know what the rest of your day holds, but I would select something more substantial for that time frame. If I were in Orlando being a tourist or attending to wedding business, I'd be starving at that time. Fruit, cheese and bread wouldn't cut it for me. I would replace at least one item...

    Officiant Reviews please! Looking for a religious ceremony!

    Don't know what your plans are, but if you're not set on the ceremony being on Disney property, you can have your uncle marry you at a local Catholic church with or without full Mass and have the reception only on property.

    Using Photopass for Engagement Photos?

    +1. Find a stranger carrying a huge DSLR and ask them to take your picture with your own point and shoot. No guarantees, but hopefully they know how to use a camera and frame a shot better than most of the Photopass people. Or, if you're lucky, you'll find the owner of a huge DSLR who'll use...

    DisneyGroom POV: Heather and John's Wishes Wedding 10/24/12- Hallowedding LOA Signed!

    It's about you, not the location or the date. Make your names larger and the details much smaller.

    Where are my pictures?!?!

    Your photographs are going to take a few weeks, because of the editing of each shot, as well as having other photo shoots and editing for other clients. That being said, it is really unacceptable that you have no received no update or response to your status check. Contact your planner's...

    Changing resorts in room block?

    It's probably fine, as long there isn't some convention booked there. Just ask.

    +1 for caricature artist. How many weddings have you been to that had one?

    Rules for Officiant

    I agree, you've probably nothing to worry about. I think it would only matter if it's a Catholic priest marrying you, and more often than not I would think he would not be allowed to marry you outside the Church (it probably varies according to order and/or parish).

    Budget?

    The US has sales tax, but no VAT. And it's less expensive than you think since GBP>USD. Current sales tax rate, which always has potential to rise, is 6% (jump in and correct me if I'm wrong). So, $12000 x 1.06 = US$ 12720.

    New Year's Room Block

    Just reply to your last update. There's a lot of turnover and changing of roles in the weddings department, so we may not have been dealing with the same people. And emphasize to your guests that there's a deadline for the discount, and that it is peak season so once the deadline hits, the...

    New Year's Room Block

    Don't sweat it yet. That was over a month ago, and your wedding's not for several weeks. People slack off and put off till the last minute. Send your people a friendly reminder of when your room block is released. You can ask for an update on the room block, too. The woman in charge of my room...

    DisneyGroom POV: Heather and John's Wishes Wedding 10/24/12- Hallowedding LOA Signed!

    Hey, there. I remember you asking about Summerhouse, and see that you've booked it and the Marina. I hope to God that there will be a Halloween party that night, so that you can have perimeter fireworks as I did.

    Groomsmen gift ideas

    We did monogrammed Tumi travel bags. We wanted to give them something nice that they would use, as thanks for renting suits they wouldn't have rented and flying down and paying for lodging.
