I dont know how new some of these pricing changes are, but they were news to me, so Im posting them here in case theyre helpful to others...
Escape Weddings
For 2009, the package has no changes to any elements but the price:
$5,500 for Wedding Pavilion weddings
$4,500 for all other locations
Wishes Weddings
(If youve signed your contract already, none of this applies to you.)
Deposit is now $2,000, and the overall minimum expenditure for your date must be paid 90 days in advance. $1,000 of the deposit is applied to whatever you owe beyond your minimum when you pay the final bill 30 days before the wedding. They use the remaining $1,000 to cover any overages and refund the difference to you after the wedding.
Service charges are now 21%
Epcot location fee is now $1,600 (All other location prices are unchanged)
Charter bus is $93.50/hour
Limo is $89.60/hour
IllumiNations/Fantasmic! viewing fee went up to $12.95 per person
Many locations that used to let you apply the cost of the wedding cake to site-specific food and beverage minimums now dont. (It could be that they never did, but this wasn't stated in the old information packet....) This means, for example, that your $910 Bridge to Happiness cake wont count toward the (new, cheaper) $1,500 before-4pm food and beverage minimum at American Adventure Parlor. (However, the cake's $14/per person cost will still count toward your overall food and beverage minimum of $75/$100/$125 per person at all locations.)
Lowest-priced dessert party menu (and therefore per-person food and beverage minimum for DPs) is $22.
Ariels is available as a reception location til June 1, 2009
The fee for bringing in an outside DJ is $950
The fee for bringing in an outside band is $1,550
