Cheapest way to do a private vow renewal?

[lenshanem]

Are there any options at WDW? For a simple, quick private vow renewal between just us? No frills, just want it in a meaningful place, like WDW - where we first got engaged. Thanks for any suggestions or help. We are DVC, have APs, so the packages aren't really of use to us. (BCV holds a special place in my heart, but we were engaged inside the castle.) We can go elsewhere on property for dinner and an ordered cake. Thanks!

Hi sweetie
If you were wanting to go down the DFTW route, the simplest package is 'Memories' which allows for up to six people and includes very basic things such as ceremony venue, basic floral and photography etc (no cake, reception etc). I am no expert on this package, but I am sure that somebody will be along who is to fill in the details!!
It may be worth your looking in to the options available at the Swan and Dolphin, as their weddings/VRs can definately work out cheaper and offer you you more flexibility than the smaller DFTW packages can. Below are some of the small packages that the S/D offer, but they are extremely flexible and would, I am sure, be willing to accomodate whatever you have in mind!!

The Swan is now promoting three low-priced package weddings, all of which cost less than the cheapest Escape wedding, which is $4,750.

Sweetheart Package: $2,595

Outdoor ceremony site
Officiant
Bride’s Bouquet and Groom’s Boutonniere (done in roses or similarly priced floral of your choice)
One hour of pro photography, including a high resolution CD of images (no prints)

Intimate Package: $3,295

Everything in the Sweetheart Package
Ceremony arch decorated with 3 floral sprays
Violinist or flutist

Celebration Package: $3,895

Everything in the Intimate Package
On-site hair and makeup for bride
One hour of pro videography + DVD of footage set to music

For comparison, Disney's Memories package, which Joanne mentioned, costs $1,991 (before May 1) or $2,450 and you get a bouquet, a violinist, three consecutive hours of limousine transportation (or an In-Room Romantic Celebration, detailed below), one hour of photography, 20 5x7-inch prints, and
the services of a wedding consultant.

The In-Room Romantic Celebration swap for the limo includes turndown service with rose petals and chocolates, personalized bath towels, a spa basket, a dozen roses, three (artificially lit) candles, Mickey confetti, and a souvenir photo of Mickey & Minnie.

We opted for the Memories VR - just the two of us at Luau Beach - it was a perfect combo - we also added a photo shoot at DHS - it was simple, romantic and special.....

I also thought the Characters in Flight sounded super romantic as well!!!

Congrats
