Need HELP with Ceremony Site & Reception Site

[J&L Love Disney]

Hi everyone!

I could use some opinions from past and future WDW brides.

Everytime I think I have my ceremony site and reception site picked, I change my mind. I'm thinking that some outside non-biased opinions might help.

Vow Renewal is December 16, 2005. That is for sure. I can't decide between the Wedding Pavilion and Sea Breeze Point. I'm divided right down the middle on the two. Pros and cons would be helpful.

Reception site has proved just as difficult. We have been considering The Attic at the Boardwalk, St. James Room @ the Boardwalk and Ariel's. Attic is less formal, but beautiful and charming. St. James room is more formal, but has patio and Ariel's is both. Also on Ariel's it is hard to tell from online photos, but is it "classy" looking as well as whimsical?

We are having a welcoming event the evening before (casual), the reception after the ceremony and eating event to schedule for Saturday (maybe brunch in afternoon). Any recommendations on using these rooms is welcome. We are just having a hard time being objective.

THANKS FOR MUCH FOR PATIENCE AND HELP.

Lisa

one of the pro's with the wedding pavilion is you're inside so if its cool or if there's adverse weather you're all good. another benefit is the wp is hooked up with wedding cameras so if you use disney for your videography you wont have another person standing there following you. i understand the heartache though, seabreeze point is very beautiful.

as for ariels yes it is classy & whimsical.

alright someone else step in.

For me it's all about the budget!

The extra cost of the Wedding pavilion put it out of the running for me (with an intimate...is it the same price with a custom?). But it is beautiful and I agree with twojo21 that if the weather isn't as nice as you would want, it is indoors and could be a better choice.

I think the gazebo at Sea Breeze just looks more personal and quaint and charming where the Pavilion is like a holy place or something. Maybe seeing them in a different perspective can help you decide. Does your DF have a preference? Have you actually seen either of them?

I had a hard time deciding between the Wilderness Lodge and Sunset Point...but ultimately my love of all things tropical won out. I'm praying for good weather (i.e. no hurricanes in Sept.)

I can't really help with the reception though because with the intimate we're only having the cake and champagne thing and it's only us anyway.
