Inexpensive WDW Wedding

[BanditsMommy]

Hi guys! I am looking into doing a wedding in Disney World, but a DFTW is well out of my price range. I know that a Swan and Dolphin ceremony is a less expensive option, but I was wondering what other inexpensive options you guys have found during the wedding planning process. Reception sites I have seen are: Fulton's, Rix, and the various Swan and Dolphin and Disney restaurants. I was wondering what are the pros and cons of each of these reception space options were and also how much they approximately cost.

Thanks in advance!

ETA: Inexpensive to me would mean under $10k. (If it were up to FH, he'd want it to be WELL under $10k)

I'm sure folks will chime in but obviously everyone's definition of "inexpensive" is different! I highly recommend the "passporter guide to dftw" - you'll get specific pricing and options, as well as carrie's podcast about the same! You will find tons of info! (unable to provide links from my phone but both of these are easily google-able and frequently referenced here on the boards!)

Happy planning!

Thanks! I actually have the paperback version of the book that I bought many moons ago LOL! I'm thinking about buying the e-book version because I've heard that you can get the updates for free when they come out. Is that true?

 

[sambycat]

Yes it will! She updates so all the updates would be downloadable as well!

You can also try Shades of Green if you know anyone in the military, current or retired.

If you search youtube "orlando wedding dj shades" you'll see slideshows of stills taken at various weddings at SOG.

Hope this helps!

To see the updated information you'll have to download it as a PDF but it's all there!

It's very awesome, with the book I think I have figure out how we can have the vow renewal and trip for under $10,000

How many people are you looking at? Because that makes a huge difference in the cost.

I was a Swan and Dolphin bride & cannot say enough wonderful things about Just Marry, S/D, & our wedding. If you have any questions, please let me know!
