Just Scheduled My Site Visit

[starflower]

I'm new to the boards, though I've been lurking for a little while, and my fiance and I have just scheduled our site visit for May. I know we're going to have a custom wedding and go to look at potential ceremony and reception sites, but I haven't a clue what else we'll be discussing or what else to expect. We haven't booked a date yet, but plan to as soon as possible. Is there anything I should know or ask about when we go down for the site visit? Any suggestions from others who've done it before. I'm a little clueless.

You've come to a great place for answers! Everyone here is so wonderful and helpful.
I just had my site visit 2 weeks ago.
My advice would be to look around here and the disneyfairytale website for possible locations.
I knew I wanted the wedding pavillion so I focused on other locations for my reception. I knew I wanted a place that was already themed (save money on decorations).
For the site visit you will meet with your sales coordinator at Franc's Studio. Here you will go over the grenralities of having a wedding at Disney. You'll talk a little bit about what you want and go from there. I knew that I wanted a reception place by EPCOT so we focused on places near there. Just from hearing him talk about the sites I was able to narrow down to the place I wanted to see. We the went to the Living Seas Salon and fell in love with it. We knew from the moment we saw it in person (I wasn't too sure from pictures) that was where we wanted. We spent some time there and Joe (SM) explaned the set up to us and I took some pictures.
After the living seas we went back to Franc's and talked a little bit more about budget and the things we wanted . Joe gave us a folder and told us he would create a quote for us from what we had discussed.
We were then free to ask any questions we wanted and viewed some of the phots they have at the studio.

It was a wonderful experiance!
IF you have any questions I didnt' answer feel free to ask me or anyone else on here!

Good luck!
