Min. price for vow renewal at WDW $10 000???

[Freyja]

My friends and I were just discussions weddings and vow renewals, which lead us to destination weddings and renewals, which of course lead me to Disney

According to http://www.disneyweddings.go.com/site/vow/cus/vow_guide/couple.jsp the min. price for a vow renewal at WDW is $10 000? Can this be true? I admit, I still haven´t had time to read the entire site but can´t help but wonder whether a vow renewal, with only 5 guests can´t be done cheaper.

It can be done for cheaper...that price is when you have over 18guests

We were quoted for $3500 for JUST a five-minute ceremony at Sunset Pointe, in which we would be allowed 10 guests, AND they would put out chairs for them!!! No food, no drinks, no nothing. (I think they DID tell us we would get a Mickey and Minnie cake topper...)

We spent $2000 on our hometown wedding with 25 people, and ate and had an open bar.

The remaining $1500 went towards our AWESOME 5-day Disneymoon!

I would have loved a Disney wedding, but not for that price. I just couldn't do it.

You should pop over to the Weddings board An escape wedding starts at $5400 and accomodates up to 18 people (except at 2 locations). It includes your cake and a champagne toast. The ceremony can definitely be longer than 5 minutes.

Wishes weddigns start at $12,000 but that can include everything. Much lower than the national average...plus it's at DISNEY

Also, there are lots of ways to have a vow renewal and save money. A lot of people have a ceremony at the Swan/Dolphin or Shades of Green for much less money.
I personally felt that the money we spent on our Disney Wedding was worth every cent. If we had done at wedding at home (NJ/NY area) we would have had to have nearly 300 guests and it would have been a wedding for my mother, not for me... By doing it at Disney we were able to have a (much cheaper) wedding for 100 people complete with fireworks.

Edited to add: The escape package also includes the bride's bouquet, the groom's bout, a small photography package, a violinist and a limo. (Along with everything Mandy mentioned) So you do get a lot for your money

Thanks for the info

We´re not doing a vow renewal in the immediate future, but who knows what might happen in a few year. It´s nothing we´ve ever dicussed and around here it is not something people usually do. I don´t know anyone who has ever done a vow renewal, nor do the girlfriends I was discussing this with.

I just think it´s an interesting idea and I was curious to know how this is at WDW

I think Chip & Dale do a "re-hitchin'" ceremony at Garden Grill

I remember reading about that here on the boards a couple of years ago. Sounded cute

$10,000.00...wow...I don't like anyone that much.

Could explain my divorce, come to think of it.
