Guest Count - outside photography/videography vendors

[marsh0013]

I came across some something about this in my online research, and I wanted to check and see. If you use outside photography/videography, do they count toward your guest count? If we did an Escape wedding with 18 total guests allowed, and we had 2 photographers and 2 videographers (not Disney provided), will that bring us down to 14 other guests? Please say it isn't so.

No, they do not count. However, if you use an officiant who is not on Disney's list, he or she would count toward the guest limit.

Excellent, thank you! We are hoping one of our close friends who is a pastor will marry us. He'd be invited either way though, so he's definitely included in our count. Phew, sigh of relief. I mean, we may still go with Wishes, but at least we know we could pull off Escape with the count.
