Walt Disney Word hosts over 2,300 weddings every year. The most popular wedding location – Getting married at Walt Disney World? It’s definitely not a surprising question, as WDW is reportedly the most popular wedding and /or honeymoon location in America since 1995, when Disney went officially into the wedding business.What girl has not dreamed of being the fairy or the princess of her Prince Charming? So, what better location than the very fairy tale home, Walt Disney World. Some people might think having your wedding at WDW is in poor taste and not very grown up. But we live in a world of illusion, so I guess it is just a matter of taste. I can remember the first time a bride told me she wanted Mickey Mouse on her wedding invitations because they were going to Walt Disney World for their honeymoon. I just cringed but that is what she wanted so that is want we printed on her invitations. Regardless of your feeling about having Mickey Mouse as one of your weddings guests at your wedding, a “Disney fairy tale wedding” is an excellent business!
The simplest possible wedding at Walt Disney World is about $3,500 — an intimate wedding, with up to 10 guests. The price includes a four-night “honeymoon” at Disney resort, a daylight ceremony, a wedding cake, a bouquet for the bride and a marriage certificate (signed by Mickey!), and several other trimmings, no reception.
For a Custom Wedding — a more flexible package, with more than 10 guests, ceremony and personalized reception — the costs start from $7,500.
An average Disney wedding with around 100 guests costs $20,000.
Leaving aside personal impressions, fact is that at Walt Disney World a bride can have probably anything she can imagine as long as she can afford it:
* Cinderella’s glass coach (is available for rental for $2,200)
* a white-dove fly-over (for as little as $250)
* private fireworks ($2,500) or confetti cannons ($500)
* and even the Magic Kingdom (this one would cost $42,000 or more — only to rent for a reception, with no other expenses!)
