Awesome, thanks for this!! :yay: If you don't mind me being a pest, would you mind sharing the details of your floral BEO? My budget is around that same cost and I want to see if I'm being realistic or not. :goodvibes

@sheilaheartsdisney. I thought ADH had a venue fee now and the price included the marquee? Did they revert back to no venue fee?

We recently had to switch our reception choice to ADH because the GF was booked for the date we wanted and my coordinator did tell us that the cost of the marquee is included in the $500 venue fee for ADH. Hope this helps. :goodvibes
 


Hi

I was wondering if anyone has had just the wedding ceremony at Disney and held the reception elsewhere?

I am looking to have an Escape wedding in April 2013 but as it will only be for 20 people (inc ourselves) we were just going to go for an informal dinner elsewhere after!

Just wondering if Disney add on any extra costs to the $5,750 quoted for the Wedding Pavillion?

Thanks!

Em

Lots of people do this! The Escape weddings are package deals. You get the items in the package to use or not. Disney would only add on costs if you decide to add enhancements to your package, like different flowers, significant cake decorations, things like that. Your minimum would go up too if you add a catered event through Disney like a dessert party. Just going out to eat at a restaurant would not trigger extra Disney cost. Best wishes and Happy planning!!
 
I'm wondering if anyone has more budget information to share for a wedding of 12 people?

We received our floral BEO from our floral planner Michelle. I hope by me copying and pasting it that it shows up correctly... so we will see! We were unsure about adding some things and wanted to get prices for a couple of different options for centerpieces and stuff, so thats why you might see things that say option. It also says on there that we will be using a different centerpiece for the ceremony and reception and we will not they will be moved from the ceremony to the reception but that was how she was able to put 2 different options in there for us. There are a couple things missing.... like the white chocolate castle for the cake, and I am unsure why they did seating for 36, when our top number would be 30 or 31. Im am pretty happy with how it turned out.

How many people are you planning for? Pirate decor sounds cute!
 
Our initial budget plans for 75 guests including us. But it will go down since we've already had a few guest decline the invite.

Thanks! I ran across the pirate decor on Disney Event Group website and just had to have it! Here's a photo of it...

That is what I'm having a hard time with. If I make my guest list include everyone I would invite to a wedding at home them it'll cost me an arm and a leg!!

Oh man I love that! And then you could incorporate like shells and sand, really fun an different.
 
Scrappy Tink--you've given me hope that perhaps I could afford a Disney Wedding! Your photos are lovely.
