Hi Everyone! I have been lurking on this board for the past year and a half while I planned my Disney wedding. I am kind of shy, so I didn't post too much, but I always enjoyed reading about everyone else's weddings and seeing pictures.
Well, now that my wedding has come and gone, I thought I would share my pictures for those of you planning your weddings.
Overall, the day was absolutely perfect. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the wonderful people at disney, and all of our vendors. We used Disney for all of the services that they offered, and we are glad that we did.
Officiant: Rev. Jack Day- A+- we really enjoyed working with him. He couldn't make our rehearsal, but he insisted on fitting us in at some other point during the day, so we still got to meet him prior to the ceremony. He was wonderful, and his ceremony was just what we wanted. We felt very comfortable with him.
Hair/Make-Up: Lisa Penna- A+--of course, anyone who gets up at 2:30 a.m. to come do my make up deserves an A+.
She really was great though- she was the friendliest lady. I really didn't know what I wanted with my hair, and I told her to use her judgement, and I love what she did. Also, due to the stress, I ended up with the worst break out of my life three days before the wedding, and it was at its worst on my wedding day. She was a miracle worker, and you could barely tell I had any blemishes. Even though she covered everything up, I still looked very natural, and the make up was not too heavy. All of my bridesmaids loved their hair as well!
Floral: A+--I normally don't even like flowers, but I LOVED my bouquet. I used Disney Floral for everything. I couldn't stop staring at my bouquet because I thought it was so pretty. I described what I wanted, and everything exceeded expectations. Floral did a lot of the decorations on my cake as well, and I was blown away by that. I was just amazed.
Photography: A+--We got our pictures back today- I love them. After reading a lot on this board, I was regretting not using Randy Chapman, but now that my pictures are back, I am so happy that we went with Disney- I didn't even realize that they got half of the shots that they did. I loved them!
Food: A+--Dinner at Boardwalk- chicken and steak was the best I have ever had.
Cake: A+--Unfortunately, Chris and I didn't even get a piece of our cake. We were so busy that we never got to it. We did feed each other the piece during the cake cutting, but I think we were so nervous/thinking about pictures and our audience that neither of us really "tasted" it. Everyone else raved about it though, and all of the cake was gone by the time we left! So, just a reminder to make sure that you get a piece of your cake!
Dress steaming/Tuxes: A+--They were wonderful. They came and had all of the guys try on their tuxes the day before the wedding- it was so easy and convenient. It took about 1/2 hour and then we all had breakfast together. Anyone who needed any new sizes had them waiting for them the next morning. We loved them! They also steamed our dresses the day of the wedding- I can't imagine not having them!
Coordinator: Maxine Pollakis: A+-- I am not sure if we can mention names here, but we absolutely loved her- she was great!
DJ: A+--I unfortunately can't remember his last name, but his first name was Chris, and he was provided by Disney. He was fantastic. He played all of our songs, and he really kept the party going. Loved him!
I hope I am not forgetting anything. It was the best experience of my life! Good luck to all of you guys planning your big days! Disney is the best, and they will take care of you!
Anyways, I don't think I can post websites yet, since I haven't posted on here enough, but you can go to the general Disney photo website at ( I think) :

Thanks for all of your help during the planning process!!!
