Sure

Wedding Ceremony - $2950
Officiant (Randall Miller) - $278
Chapman Photography (Randy) - $761 (3 hour ceremony shoot and Wishes)
STVS Videography - $1107 (3 hour Intimate Stylized Package)
Carolyn Allens - $80
Beauty Speciale - $120 (mom and I)
Magic Kingdom Photo Shoot - $800
Memorial Flower - $35
Crystal Mickeys - $30
Crystal pins for flowers - $10
Upgrade on cake - $80
V & A - $500

I think that's about everything, of course this doesn't include accommodation, flights, park tickets etc, which has eaten up the majority of our budget. We are going for 3 weeks so we intend to do quite alot, including the DCL for 3 nights. I think, all considering, the price is pretty good. Over here it would cost at least $35,000 to get married and have a decent wedding, we are saving alot of money by going to Disney. It is thill the best decision we have made yet!

Thank so much for posting this.

I find it so cool that I am also from aberdeen although I have just moved to Inverness, you are also moving although somewhere a bit more exciting than Inverness and that your wedding is almost exactly what I want too.

I think - I may be wrong - that I read in your planning journal that you got the mickey bag if its not too cheeky can you tell me how much that cost I would love to get them for me and for my little niece for my wedding. Thanks.

Wedding dinner at Raglan Road estimated: $800

This of course doesn't include all the other expenses! I've kept a spreadsheet the whole way. (I'm an obsessive budgeter!)
So for my dress, his tux, shoes, veil, jewelry, wedding rings, hotel, marriage license, postage, thank you notes, announcements (we didn't do invitations), and welcome bags we have spent another $4000. Our grand total is around $10,500. I would LOVE to have a custom but when I started adding in all the extra wedding things that don't count towards the DFTW I just could do it justify spending that much. My parents are paying for the bulk of the wedding but we are picking up the rest. We decided to go overboard on our welcome bags and spent about $750 there. We really wanted to do something special for our guests.

Thanks so much! Seeing it like this is very helpful! Right now I am just trying to decide whether to go intimate or custom....on the Disney website, it is showing that the WP is now $3900?!?!? Is this right??

Anyone else have their intimate wedding price list breakdowns?

The $3,900 is correct for the WP 2007.
We are having:
Escape wedding at WP $3900
Cindy's carriage $2700
MK photoshoot $1000
Mickey & Minnie $1200
Randy Chapman photography (3 hour package plus 1 hour) $675
A Magic Moment video $500
Total $9975 plus 6.5% tax

We're also going to 1900 Park Fare for our wedding dinner 2 @ $38.99 plus tax, then having the Wishes cruise $275 (total).
Of course, travel and accomodation is extra and also our attire.

Good luck deciding

I am not sure what our final costs will be at this point, but my fiance has budgeted $20,000 for our trip, wedding and everything wedding related including the dress, tux rentals, rings, etc. So far everything has come in a little under budget so things are looking pretty good. We'll have to see if thats still the case when we get the final costs from our wedding planner.

We didn't do any of the add ons such as mickey and minnie or the carriage. We did splurge for the MK photo shoot and are paying for a welcome dinner at O'Hanas, lunch at California Grill on the wedding day and a dessert reception for all 14 of our guests. We are also paying for my siblings hotel rooms and flights so that is a pretty big added cost worked into the budget.

I figure it is around the same amount we would pay for a wedding here and I am getting a trip out of it as well as a very unique wedding experience.

The Mickey crystal satin bag is $35.00

 

[purplegirl247]

So far, this is our running total...

DFTW (YC Gazebo): $2950
Randy Chapman photography: $612.37 (3 hours, after taxes)
Anna Wasacar hair/makeup: $132 (including trial)
Magic Kingdom shoot: $800
Favors: $44
Flowers, additional: $111 ($36 for corsage thingies for our grandmothers/FMIL, $75 for silk bouquet)
Extra champagne: $50
Wedding luncheon at Portobello: $392 (estimated at $22/person + stupid $2.50/person cake slicing fee)
Officiant: technically free, since he's a friend, but as a thank-you we're taking him and his girlfriend to Hoo Dee Doo Review, so I've budgeted $132 for that (woot, cast member discount!)

I have a fabulous spreadsheet, like others have mentioned, and my running total (without honeymoon) is $6k. This includes everything, from my dress to our rings to our favors down to every last penny. I'll be keeping a running total of the honeymoon as well, which I hope hope hope to keep under $2k. Oh, and we'll have a total of 16 people, including us.

Hope this helps! An intimate really worked for us because we didn't want our guest list to get out of hand and this way we were literally limited by how many people Disney allows. Plus we'd like to buy a house later this year and we didn't want to spend too much money beforehand.

Then there's all the usual stuff: dress, veil, shoes, tux, etc. According to my handy-dandy spreadsheet (lol) it will cost us about $15,000 (we're paying for everyone's rooms, plus a bunch of stuff for my MOH), but we're WAY under budget so far.

Hope that helps!

That reminds me that my Banquet Event Order is nowhere in sight.

You can trade out the disney photography for a photo shoot?!?

 

[Skylarr29]

You can trade out the disney photography for a photo shoot?!?

Yes, you can. If you use another photographer then you get to swap the photography part of your escape package with a honeymoon shoot in one of the parks.

 

[JackieSparrow]

Yes, you can. If you use another photographer then you get to swap the photography part of your escape package with a honeymoon shoot in one of the parks.

Also keep in mind that if you do the honeymoon shoot at any of the parks besides MK, it's an additional $50 (I think I was told this around January 2007).

 

[Jrpbabe2003]

Can you upgrade that to photo shoot in MK dressed in our wedding clothes?

 

[purplegirl247]

No, the MK shoot is a separate shot entirely. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!

 

[TexasCourt]

Thanks so much to everyone that has replied! I really appreciate it! I am leaning towards an intimate, so all of this info has been extremely helpful! Thanks again!

 

[Jrpbabe2003]

That's okay, doing the honeymoon shoot is better than nothing. I did not even know about being able to upgrade, so I am happy with that!
