Where do I begin?

[Disneylover79]

So I originally wanted an Escape wedding but have since realized that there are going to be way to many guests. I am looking closer to 35-45 people and this just family and bridal party. I want to get married at SBP, but I will probably change my mind a million times before I make the down payment. So I have printed of the brochure, but is there a way I can sit down (or talk to on the phone) with someone to see if I can work it out for our budget? TIA

You can try calling Disney's Fairy Tale Weddings and asking to speak to a Sales Consultant about putting together an estimated budget. They may steer you toward the new website, which has a Weddings Calculator that can give you a rough (and I mean rough) estimate of what your wedding would cost. The thing is, you can't really customize it more than saying you want to spend "$$" or "$$$" on certain things!

The way I figured out whether we could afford a Wishes wedding was to look at the budgets (BEOs) posted by other couples on this board and pick out the elements I wanted and add them all up. Of course, exact pricing changed between when they had their events and when we had ours, but it showed me how much cheaper a DFTW would be than an L.A. wedding!

Here's a thread with lots of DFTW budgets in it: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2182201

Hope this helps!
