Just to give you an idea of the cost of the Tea Party:
The decor package which includes the big teapots, flowers, mushrooms and I think a cheshire cat:
$7500
2 characters (Mad Hatter and Alice) $1020 (at least when I got married) You can also have Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum - and hence an increased cost.
The Mad Hatter Cake is at least $1000
So before any other food - the Tea Party's trimmings are about $10K.
Our wedding was the "Orange Couple" shown on the special. We really were disappointed in the show - especially knowing all that they shot.
We had a beautiful Illuminations party at the Italy Isola - which considering is incredibly impressive and so much more affordable.
We paid around $20 per person for food and it was one of the true highlights of our wedding weekend.
