Opinions on my wedding planning

[Ashy]

hello everyone! I will be having my WDW Wedding in 2018! (I know so far away and can't book yet!) We are coming from Australia! So it's not affordable for my entire Greek family to come!

I just want to post what I want to happen and the plan please give your feedback or let me know if I have planned anything wrong!

-thinking about the 2nd week of November because I love the Christmas decorations! (No preference on the day)

-MK PHOTOSHOOT early in the morning (before park opens if that's an option and a photoshoot at night?) and is Cinderellas coach allowed to be part of that photoshoot?

-Either a early morning ceremony or midday ceremony at Sea Breeze Point. I will be arriving by Cinderellas coach LIFE LONG DREAM :') (We will either have 0 guests or 3 guests, my uncle will be our celebrant. So his wife would be 1 guest and my mum and dad, my fiancés parents aren't interested)

-More photoshoot after the ceremony.

-Maybe a lunch or early dinner (please recommend restaurants) I will not be having a reception because I have so little guests so a nice dinner or lunch booked somewhere. I've been reading to book a room you need a minimum of 18 people at most places?

-Then afterwards have a fireworks dinner party (not sure if there is a minimum guest count for that one)

Then go back to the hotel. I'm not sure what I have left out here or got any information wrong please tell me.

Welcome! Here's a Disney Wedding Podcast interview I did with a couple from Australia who eloped at WDW: http://disneyweddingpodcast.com/2013/01/30/escape-wedding-spotlight-lucy-peter/

-MK PHOTOSHOOT early in the morning (before park opens if that's an option and a photoshoot at night?) and is Cinderellas coach allowed to be part of that photoshoot?

The only way to have the coach in the photo shoot would be if you were getting married that morning inside the Magic Kingdom. The shoot occurs before the park opens, never at night. But, depending on the time of year, it may be dark that early in the morning, so you will get "night" photos.

-Maybe a lunch or early dinner (please recommend restaurants) I will not be having a reception because I have so little guests so a nice dinner or lunch booked somewhere. I've been reading to book a room you need a minimum of 18 people at most places?

No, you can have a private catered event with a small number of guests basically anywhere—you just have to meet the food and beverage minimums. If you want a private room at a restaurant, there are several places on property for that, including Citricos, The Wave, Jiko, California Grill, bluezoo, Shula's, Il Mulino, The Boathouse and Morimoto Asia.

Then afterwards have a fireworks dinner party (not sure if there is a minimum guest count for that one)

There is no minimum, but certain venues in Epcot are restricted to parties of 20 or more.[/QUOTE]

Did you want to go in your dress to the Dessert Party? If not, you could book the normal Dessert Party too! It might be cheaper that way.

Also, remember a midday ceremony means high sun and harsh light in photos. Not a deal breaker, just something to remember!

Thanks for your feedback guys! I originally wanted the ceremony held at a park in MK or the train station but it seams stupid to pay $15K for the train station venue fee if there's only going to be 3 guests.
Yes I will definitely having the desert party in my dress photos with the fireworks look phenomenal!!!

I want similar to what this couple has done.

I haven't done any of these but I would if we were alone... You could take a break after lunch and then have dinner alone or with your uncle at...

-Victoria and Alberts at the GF
-Private dinner through catered events on the GF balcony
-Private dinner at Epcot at the UK spot that only holds up to 10 people with a view of illuminations fireworks

I think those would be super special!

And I would do a park shoot early that morning and then a 10:00am ceremony so there isn't a big gap
