Off Site Ceremony/Disney Reception Pricing

[amalone1013]

If we have a ceremony off-site, and then go through DFTW for the reception, how do the minimums work out? We are planning on doing a time/day that would be in the mini wishes/catered event experience, so would we still qualify for those minimums? Or would the be normal minimums?

ie Tuesday brunch reception

• $100pp food/bev and $3000 enhancement, or
• $125pp food/bev and $5000 enhancement

Thanks!

For mini-Wishes/catered event experience it's the first/lower minimums . The second/higher mins are for regular Wishes.

I'd say as long as you agreed to the terms of mini-wishes (shorter reception) you should be able to do that and get the lower minimums. But I'm not exactly sure how it works if you do your ceremony off site.

Edit to add - the brunch is for a 9am/10am ceremony time, meaning reception starting no later than 11am. Not sure what time you plan to have your ceremony off site.

You can do an offsite ceremony as long as you meet those Wishes Catered Event Experience minimums. People do it all the time, usually for Catholic weddings. Here's an episode of the Disney Wedding Podcast about it: http://disneyweddingpodcast.com/2013/07/17/ceremony-options-for-catholic-couples/
