How long for Intimate

[gail228]

From start to finish, how long does an Intimate Ceremony last? Our ceremony is at 10:00 am. How long is the cake cutting ceremony and how long did your pictures take after?
What time did you plan your lunch/dinner after the ceremony, etc.?

Thanks!

Technically, our intimate started at 11am and we were done by 12:30. Really it all began about 10:30 when we met our coordinator in the lobby of our resort to get my bouquet and take some photos. We walked over to Sea Breeze Point about 10 minutes 'til 11.

The vows part only takes 15-20 minutes. Afterwards, there is a first dance, cake and champagne, and pictures...figure about an hour for all that. Then it's all over...

Keep in mind that Disney really only allows 2 hours for an intimate, so they will probably 'guide' you to be done and out of the area so they can get ready for the next ceremony (if there is one).

We decided to wait 'til later that night to have a "special" dinner. Our reservations were for 7 or 7:30 I believe.

For your 10am ceremony, you should have no problem making a 12:30 or 1pm reservation for lunch.

Good Luck!!!

our ceremony was at 2pm, we started about 10 mins early to try and beat the huge rainstorm that started halfway through our cake cutting! ours was the last intimate that day so we werent rushed or anything but we left about 4/4.30 ish. we had reservations for chef mickeys at 5.30, and we got there very early! ended up in the bar for 45 minutes or so

Our ceremony took place in Sunset Pointe at 9 am. Vow + Cake Cutting ceremony took 15-20 minutes. We hired outside photographer to cover ceremony photography.
