Ana/Beaute Speciale - She was early and listened to me and did exactly what I wanted. My hair didn't hold as well as I would have liked, but it was raining all day and my hair is pretty fine as it is. She was easy to talk to and we had a good time while she made me pretty. A

Blossoms Orlando - My flowers were GORGEOUS. She did a fantastic job. A+

Limo Orlando - They were late. Not a lot late, but it still kinda threw me off a bit. But that just meant I had them that much longer. He dropped us off in front of T-Rex instead of where they are normally supposed to drop folks off at Downtown Disney which was NICE because it RAINED all day and I wasn't looking forward to walking in the rain in my dress. B+

Fulton's Crab House - Fulton's bent over backwards for me, no joke. Have I mentioned it rained all day? ALL DAY! The original back-up location was to have the ceremony in the reception room which I was not happy about. We met with Marian Ream the banquet manager a few days before the wedding to see the space and discuss details and she said that their other private room had been booked but cancelled and they left it open in case of rain. Luckily we had that room available and they set it up beautifully for us. We had a banquet manager and a bartender who took very good care of us after the ceremony and made sure we stayed on track. The food was AWESOME, people are still talking about it. They beared with us while we waited for a late couple and got things moving very quickly once they arrived. A++

Jennie Rudberg (violin) - I hardly got to listen to her, which disappoints me because I'm told she was fantastic. I requested Disney love songs while everyone was seated and Christmas music during cocktails. We didn't get her during cocktails due to the aforementioned tardy couple, by that time her hour was up, but I'm glad that she also humored us while we were waiting. A+ and her price was fantastic.

Glenn Ferguson (caricature artist) - The HIT of the party. Everyone LOVED this addition to the celebration and had a great time with him. He drew like a madman and got everyone done and brought some drawings for us already done that were gorgeous. A++

Annette's Cakes - I LOVED my christmas tree cake. It was perfect and looked exactly like the photos I sent her....more importantly, it tasted wonderful! Everyone raved about it. A+

Randy Chapman - I can't say enough good things about Randy. He truly captured the spirit of our wedding and to me that was the most important thing. He even was able to make it appear that we had blue skies in some of the photos! A+++++++++

I'm so glad I made the decisions that I made with my wedding. I started off planning a DFTW at Sea Breeze Point, but I didn't have the budget for a Wishes wedding and I had more than 23 people who wanted to come. I couldn't come to terms with telling people they couldn't come to my wedding even though they could afford to make the trip. Everything was beautiful and perfect and just what I wanted!

Wow! Everything looks amazing. Congratulations! You both look so happy, and you look beautiful!

By the way, I am totally going to try and get that picture of your rings making Mickey ears. It's so cute!
 
WOnderful photos, your wedding sounds like it was perfect apart from the rain.
 

It looks like you had a beautiful wedding. What a great location! I love seeing new and unique weddings at WDW. I didn't even know somewhere like Fulton's would be an option. The caricature artist was such a great touch, what a wonderful favor for your guests. Downtown Disney made a great backdrop for your photos too. I hope you share even more shots with us and a TR :bride:
 
Your day looks AWESOME! I'm so happy for you that things went well, it stinks about the rain but great that Fulton's worked with you.

Thanks for the PM too, I contacted Marian about doing the ceremony there too.

I love that ring photo! Randy took several others that are made to look like Mickey ears. I will post them!

Yes, it was perfect apart from the rain and Fulton's helped smooth that out a bit for us. If only there were covered walkways at Downtown Disney!

We are using Jennie too! I'm glad all your guests liked her! Congrats!

Thanks! They had great things to say about her, I'm sorry I missed most of her playing!

I didn't either until I started looking at Fulton's and noticed a ceremony mention in their literature. It was still a "Disney" wedding not run by Disney! I'm not sure I will do a full TR but I will share more photos soon!

You're welcome! Good Luck! Marian is very to the point but quick to respond. I loved having my wedding there! I'd be happy to answer any other questions you have.

I don't mind to the point, it's just nice having someone who actually RESPONDS! Novel idea, eh?

Can't wait to see the rest of your pics!
 
Your pictures look really nice, and I like all the red with the Christmas decorations :lovestruc
 
I wanted to ask you what your thoughts were on flowers & Fulton's. Did you have a lot of floral arrangements or did the space not really need it? I'm trying to figure out what I need. :)


THANKS!
 
The rooms are gorgeous as they are! They are painted beautifully and the wood is well waxed. All I had were little centerpieces on the tables and an arrangement on the sweetheart table, and honestly that was crowded with my bouquet. I should have placed the arrangement on the bar! And that was a centerpiece in itself!

My only regret, with the ceremony being moved inside, was the exit sign above the door. :lmao:
 
Missy, I love your wedding photos. I am now very much swayed towards Fultons as I cannot afford a DFTW but this would be as close as possible.

Would you recommend it for a small group? There will only be 7 of us including Randy!!:rotfl:
 
i dont swear alot unless the occasion calls for it and I must say that you had the most bad a** cake of all time! i love it, everything looked great, very christmasy

YES! The Lounge is a great size, they say it seats 40 and I had 27 - I think it's a bit small for 40! You could have them put bar stools in and cozy up to the bar! ;)

Thanks! Annette's Cakes did a fantastic job! It was just like the photo I sent her.
