In the dark ages they called them Custom and something else, ours was considered Customer.

We did have a Coctail Hour, but it was more appetizers, punch, soft drinks and coffee as we decided not to have a bar.

It was in the Living Seas VIP room - we used half for the pre-reception and the other half for the reception itself.

We did have a DP at the Lower UK Terrace.

For transportation we used a bus to pick up guests and move them from the WP to EPCOT and then around EPCOT during the reception. We also had a limo that picked up DH/BM and the Dads, which then took DH and I plus BM and MoH from the WP to EPCOT after we did pictures. We then did a one-way limo from EPCOT to our wedding night room.

We did not have professional video, we had MoH's DF do the video. It cost us less to fly him out and attend the wedding than professional video would have and otherwise he would not have been able to go.

No Characters. DJ at the reception who played CDs of music from a prearranged list. He was great - even helped us with Grandma's birthday song. That venue would be really hard to have a live band beyond some strings, I think it would be too much. Others may have done it, and my memory may have faded because it was the dark ages of Disney FTW!

We are having an Escape (I think they used to be Intimate for the PP) at the Yacht Club Wedding Gazebo

We are not having a cocktail hour

We were going to have a DP but we wanted it at Sago Cay, when I booked the wedding the indoor backup location was booked for a conference so we couldn't book Sago. I talked with my mom and dad (and DF) and we decided to have a dinner somewhere. We ended up picking the Chef's Table at Victoria and Alberts as there are 10 of us total.

The dinner will take three to four hours taking the place of a reception and then we will watch Wishes from the beach at the GF.

My colours are dark red (with blue undertones) and ivory. Maybe 10 minutes, not sure yet.

Everyone will drive themselves to the YC and then the GF. We will be staying at the YC so we don't have far to go.

No videography, no characters, no dj or band, except for the violinist that comes with the pkg.

We're having a Wishes wedding.
Yes, we're having a cocktail hr.
No, we're not gonna have a DP

The ceremony's gonna be at the YCG.
The reception's gonna be at Ariel's.

Our color is apple red. My dress is ivory, so there will be some ivory at the reception too.
I think the ceremony is supposed to be 30min. tops. 20-30. I'm hoping for 20, lol.

People are gonna use their feet for transportation, lol. People will be using the buses, ferries, and their cars too. People staying at the YC will walk, people staying at ASM will take a bus to HS and the ferry from there to the YC, I think our guests staying at Shades of Green are going to have a car and will drive, as will our guests staying offsite.

Yes, we're going to have a videographer (STVS).

No, we're not going to have characters.

No, we're not going to have a live band or DJ. We're going to be using my iPod.
