Disney fairytale weddings

[tinkerbell24]

Has anyone dealt with them recently and has anyone recently got married offsite but had a meal there afterwards?

I have been planning on getting married during our next holiday but since booking up for next April everything I was told previously seems to have changed.

I had been considering a church wedding (I know a religious wedding isn't possible onsite and needs to be in a church) and heading back to Disney for dinner and fireworks on grand yacht 1. I was previously told as long as I was at a resort I could wear my dress but not in the parks. But now I have been told I cannot wear my dress onsite at all and would need to either change or go to a privately owned restaurant at Disney springs. The only option to wear my dress onsite is to have a wishes package at a minimum of $12000 for reception only but there is only 8 of us going! An escape package is only possible if the ceremony is onsite too. I have just put a deposit on a £12000 holiday to be told what I had planned isn't possible now. Is this right? I feel so disappointed 😕

You can eat in any restaurant in your dress apart from the park. Brides do that all the time.

Daughter got married at Leu Gardens and had a meal at GF with her wedding dress on.

In the U.K. you are not allowed to include anything religious in a non church location, but that doesn't apply in the US. I had a Church Reverand and a Christian ceremony for my Disney wedding if that is any help?

Thanks for replying. This was what I was told before I booked but after speaking to Disney fairy tale weddings they have told me it is no longer allowed. I'd need to do a wishes package for reception only. I've now been looking into the four seasons resort but I'm still unsure. I feel I have lost my excitement.

It is a catholic wedding so this must be in a Catholic Church. I am happy with the church it's just finding how to make the rest of our day special too.

I'm getting married in Orlando (non Disney wedding) and we have booked a late lunch at chef mickeys and a late dinner at planet Hollywood. When I booked them I told them it was our wedding day and I'm going to be wearing a full wedding dress and was told it was fine no problem. I was wished happy wedding planning etc x

Maybe if I contact the hotel direct I will be told different then? It does seem crazy they expect us to spend that for dinner and a view of the fireworks for 8 of us. I really would like to keep my dress on all day so I might call again and see if it is at all possible before I go ahead with anywhere else. Thanks for your help

Which bit did you ask Disney weddings about the Catholic ceremony or the wedding meal?

You can't have a Wishes wedding for 8 guests anyway minimum is 20.

It was only the meal. The catholic cermony would need to be in the church. I was just enquiring where I could go afterwards as I was hoping to keep my dress on for the whole day.

I thought this too but as long as I spent the minimum this was the only package which I could arrange a meal/reception. The girl was really helpful, I just felt it was a bit excessive for how few of us were going to be there.
