What better way to add some magical flair to your union than with a Disney-themed wedding, right on the premises of Walt Disney World? This is the ideal place where you can realize the fairy-tale wedding of your dreams, with fantasy-inspired themes, and perks taken right out of the bedtime storybooks. Although the park does have special arrangements in place for such an event, you’ll nonetheless have to prepare in advance in order to make the experience as pleasantly memorable as possible.

The first thing to consider is the size of your guest list, as the price of the services partially depends on this factor. The cost of having an intimate wedding, with just the marrying couple in attendance, begins at $3,000; this is inclusive of admission to the park attractions, the ceremony itself, and accommodations to the resort. Ceremonies with up to twenty guests in attendance are priced at a minimum of $8,000, while customized weddings which can accommodate as many guests as you wish are in the average price ranges of $19,000 and $25,000.

You’ll need to visit Walt Disney World at least once prior to the ceremony, in order to personally check out the packages which may be available to you. Have a walk through of the Wedding Pavilion; Treasure Island; and the fantasy-themed parks, since you can hold the ceremonies there on the off-season, or on periods when the park closes at an earlier hour than usual; you can also choose from the various hotels, restaurants, and other prime locations on the premises, to get an idea on which wedding package to go for.

You’ll need to have a thorough talk with an official wedding coordinator, assigned by the park for such an event. He or she will usually take the brunt of the trouble concerning arrangements in the ceremony, the reception, and even the more particular details such as the flower options, the menu plan, mood music, venue, decorations, and the event photographer and officiant.

Here comes the best part. You can choose a Disney theme, to add color your reception. You’re really bringing fantasy to life! You can be Cinderella on your wedding night, and arrive at the reception area in a glass carriage, which is drawn by white ponies; you can even have your dessert served on a glass slipper made out of white chocolate. You can also pick from other fairy-tale inspired themes, including those from the Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast movies. If you want Mickey Mouse or any other character to make a surprise appearance at the reception, you can request for such a service; the starting price for such begins at less than $400 dollars, with a corresponding additional charge for every detail you would like to add.

Make sure you schedule the wedding on the off-peak days or season of the park; don’t choose a holiday or weekend for your wedding day, as the park is very busy accommodating a lot people on these days. You’ll also save money in the process, as the rates are significantly lower than usual in the off-season. This way you can have the fairy-tale wedding you wished for, without putting too much of a strain on your budget.
