Can you help fill in the blanks $$$$$

[Merandab4]

I am having an intimate wedding, and as I already know that this is a package deal, I am curious to find out the break down of what everything costs. So far this is what I have found..........

Officiant...........................$125

Flowers...........................$160
(I'm estimating $150 for bridal bouquet, and $10 for boutonniere)

Cake...............................Not sure
Cake topper...................$24.99

Photographer.................$225

Limo................................$292
($73 per hour x 4 hours)

1 bottle of Fairytale Cuvee..$68

Violinist...............................Don't know

Location fee........................Don't know

Wedding Coordinator..........Don't know

What I have listed here adds up to $895. Where is the other $1405 going. Please help me determine the costs of these other amenities that are included in the package. If I have forgotten something or miss priced something, please let me know.
Thanks.

I have heard the site fee for the pavillion is 500.00. I could be wrong though. I believe I may have seen this either on the unofficial disney wedding site or through andrea's book. As my opinion, though, with what you have leftover, I think that it sounds like a fair price. Cakes in my area are 1-2.00 a slice.
That is really interesting. I am glad someone thought to do it.

I'm thinking cake for a Custom Wedding - in 1996 (has it really been that long???) was $5-$10 per slice.

There was not a "named" fee for the EM - but I believe 10-20% is average where we live.

Don't forget 4 nights in a hotel.

Well, for a custom, the WP is $2200 and all others are $1200.

A violinist is $425 for 3 hours

My cake (feeds 50) is $452.63 plus $76.04 serving fee ($8.50 pp for cake, minimium 50 and $1.70 pp fee for 42 people)

My officiant is $175 (Rev. Day)

Hope that helps you figre out some of the money.

Thanks to all of you who responded to this thread.

I do want to let you know that My location is at the Yacht club, not the WP. I know that WP weddings are $700 more than the other locations. Also, I will only be having the violinist for less than 2 hours, and how much do you think the cake cost as a whole cake, not by the slice? (this would be the cake provided in the package)

 

[Firefly Girl]

The Yacht Club Wedding Gazebo is $1200 site fee.

Meranda, if you're thinking of getting a less expensive wedding you might want to look at packages with the Swan, they're beautiful. I don't know that this whole break down of the pricing you're doing is going to work out the way you want, to be perfectly honest.

 

[Merandab4]

Thanks for the suggestion (I did hear that that Swan was beautiful and that they do offer more than the other resorts), but I do already have my wedding packaged booked. I am actually happy about the price, but was just seeing if I could determine where the money was being spent, thats all.

Meranda I know if I was having a bridal bouquet made by Disney for my Custom weding that it would cost around $250 so that's an extra $100 right there.

Also where the cake is concerned - I think they would price that at around $200 looking at the sizes of them for intimate weddings.

I calculated the violinist at $283 for 2 hours.

I certainly see where you are coming from in trying to work out just what it is you're paying for on what Disney are charging you.

When I worked it out on all the above I got a total of $2678 or $2578 if you take off the $100 for the bigger bridal bouquet costs I quoted.

 

[Merandab4]

Thank you Sam, and everyone else who responded to this thread. I just wanted to see what the money was being spent on. Thanks for filling in the blanks were I couldn't!

One biggy that no one mentioned is the wedding coordinator as well. My coordinator went way out of her way to take care of everything for our wedding.

Firefly Girl,
Just because someone is questioning where their money is going, is no need to suggest that they should look into other options for their FTW. It did not sound like the original poster was trying to cut cost, she was just curious how much things cost. Having been a "lurker" on these boards for some time now, I have seen many wedding pics posted and it would appear that this young lady ended up having a lovely Disney Wedding.

If you are having a Disney wedding, you will need to choose either a escape, wishes or dream wedding. Each of these has a minimum expenditure such as the wishes wedding needs to have a minimum expenditure of 10,000 dollars. You can decide what you want in your wedding, but note..... if you say, choose a florist that is not from Disney, it does not count towards your minimum expenditure. Same with food, transportation, dj etc. You also have restrictions on how many people are able to come in a escape wedding. There can only be a maximum of 25 people ( including wedding party) in a escape wedding. you would have to go up to a wishes wedding if you want more than 25 people.
