Great Hall of China??

[goodmorningirl]

Hi everyone,

So, my fiance and I are starting to plan our Disney wedding and even though it is two years away, we have picked our ceremony and reception venues. We would like Great Hall of China for our ceremony and American Adventure Rotunda for our reception. I've seen a lot on America, but not much on China. Does anyone have anymore info than the Disney wedding site? I'd really love some photos or info on either of the venues, especially China. Thank you in advance

China as a ceremony location has all the same guidelines as the other Epcot ceremony sites: 9am start time, charter transportation required, no outside vendors allowed. Also, it is recommended that you pay for an audio setup with microphone for groom and officiant so your guests can hear. As a reception location, it has a lot more rules and restrictions...

One other thing to know is that Epcot ceremonies must be held in the morning, while receptions at American Adventure Rotunda (and China, for that matter) must be held in the evening, so there'd be a gap. We had a gap between our reception and dessert party and it was no big deal, but some people are uncomfortable with the idea of a gap between the ceremony and reception.

Here's the ceremony site in China:

I have a ton more pix of the pavilion, including the reception space inside, here: http://disneytravelbabble.com/disney-weddings/wdw-venue-photos/great-hall-of-china/

I also have pix of American Adventure Rotunda here: http://disneytravelbabble.com/disney-weddings/wdw-venue-photos/american-adventure-rotunda/

Hope this helps!

I was hoping you would come along. I actually went on your site with my fiance and that is how we narrowed it down, so thank you for all your great pictures! I just haven't read about many ceremonies in China which makes me a little nervous. Thank you again for the pictures
