Your Wedding
Ceremony
Picture Perfect.
Do you dream of an elegant candlelight ceremony replete with trumpeting
heralds and garlands of antique roses? Or a perfectly timed kiss
followed by a thunderous fireworks display at the foot of an enchanted
castle? Maybe you picture a traditional French country ceremony
in a quaint village courtyard -- or a midsummer night's fantasy
in a fog-shrouded forest lit by twinkling lights and paper lanterns.
A Disney Fairy
Tale Wedding ceremony and reception can give your wedding dream
wings.
Disney's Wedding
Pavilion, is themed after a classic Victorian summer home, and
offers a view of Cinderella's Castle across the Seven Seas Lagoon.
This non-denominational chapel can accommodate up to 300 guests.
A trumpeter
heralding the arrival of the bride? A Renaissance-costumed major
domo as your master of ceremonies? A dove release perfectly timed
to coincide with your first kiss? Your Disney Custom Wedding can
be as elaborate --- or as simple -- as you desire. From officiant
to organists, flowers to photography, all the services you need
are at your fingertips.
Imagine stepping
out of Cinderella's glass coach and into a real-life Fairy Tale
Wedding. Or arriving in a white 1940s Rolls Royce -- or even a
horse-drawn carriage? Choose from a wide variety of transportation
options for an unforgettable entrance or exit.

Pampering

Prior to the
event, personalized "Save the Date" announcements will be sent
to give your guests plenty of time to plan their visit, arrange
vacation time, and purchase discounted airfares. Included will
be a customized Wedding Guest Reservation and Exclusive Advance
Ticket forms, allowing your guests to take advantage of specially
discounted Resort rooms and Walt Disney World Theme Park admission
rates.
With so many
Walt Disney World Resort accommodations
to choose from, your guests are sure to find the one that suits

What's more, each room night reserved will count toward your minimum
room night requirements.
