Wow! Looks fantastic from start to finish
It really was such a good night, perfect way to kick off the wedding weekendthat looked like a WONDERFUL evening!! Can't wait to read more!!
It was! So many of them had never seen the show before and were blown away. People are still talking about it.What an amazing night! I'm sure your guests loved it!
It wasWow what a great start!
I wanted to do something unique for my welcome dinner that you could only get to experience at Disney. I think I accomplished thatWOW, what a start!!
Thank you! It really was a great way to start everything.Following along. Congratulations on your wedding ! The Welcome dinner looks like a great start to all the wedding festivities. Looking forward to reading more about your magical wedding
Thanks, it really wasWhat a wonderful dinner!
The food was so good, Disney did a great job with all of it. I would definitely recommend for others to get married there. Disney really goes above and beyond to make sure you have the perfect day and I loved how they handled everything and I didn't have to deal with a million vendors. You could do a vow renewal there, I'm considering doing one for my 5 year anniversaryThe buffet looked amazing. I need to talk one of my kids into getting married at Disney or I need to talk my husband into a second wedding there! I cannot wait to read more.
Congrats!
That villa was really amazing, probably one of the best rooms I've stayed at while at Disney. I wanted to make the Welcome dinner a lot of fun, I was trying to go for something uniquely Disney that you couldn't experience anywhere else. Talking to my guests they were definitely wowed.Congratulations! Excited to read about your adventures. That Grand Floridian villa....wow. It looks amazing! The Fantasmic party looks like it was a lot of fun--definitely a unique touch.
I didn't know they did this either when I first started planning. It really is a great set up, allowing us an hour to enjoy the food and company of the guests before the show started was a really nice. And the snow was pretty amazing. I knew that Magic Kingdom did that during their Christmas party, but had no idea that Hollywood Studios did that, so that was a great surprise for everyone including me. I tried to go above and beyond with everything I planned lolWow, just wow!!! I almost have no words for such an amazing experience. From a snowy entrance to great food to pure disney magic and a near empty hollywood boulevard, no wonder your guests were wowed. I had no idea Disney did private Fantastic events and couple that with what looks and sounds like amazing food!!!! I can see why your guests were so happy. Bravo!!!
It really was. And I love how everything was so perfect that night, the weather even cooled down a bit while we were there, must have been from all that snow It was really so beautiful while we walked down Sunset Boulevard. I'd never been there at night during the holiday season and all the lights and having Tower of Terror lit up was all so beautiful.So fun!! What a perfect way to welcome your wedding guests to the Disney experience. I looove that it was snowing on Sunset when you guys arrived!! Hollywood Studios is my favorite for the holiday season.
Aww thank you!!Wow! This report is taking my breath away! Can’t wait to read more!
Thank you!!Congrats!
When did you get married at Disney? I do like being in the Disney bride group Ya I had a budget and pretty much doubled it by the end of everything. Thankfully my In-Laws paid for the Welcome Dinner so it didn't hurt the overall wedding budget. At first I was a little worried that I went a bit overboard having two private firework events back to back, but it ended up great. I wanted to eat so much more, but I just kept thinking about how I needed to fit in my dress the next morning. I wish they would have let us take some of the food home. Enjoy your next trip, Fantasmic is really a great show!Joining in!
Welcome to being a Disney Bride! They sure know how to make weddings unforgettable!
Your welcome party looked awesome! I’m a little sad now I didn’t do one of those for our guests, but I have no idea how I would have worked that into the budget haha. The food looked great, I’m glad you were able to actually enjoy a few bites yourself! I haven’t watched Fantasmic in a few trips to WDW, but we have it in our plans for next month so I’m really looking forward to it!
It really wasThat sure looked like a lovely way to kick off your wedding celebration!
It really was, Disney did such a great job bringing everything I wanted together.Wow! Looks fantastic from start to finish
The guests were definitely wowed by everything. It was a lot of planning, but so worth it. So when you want an item from a restaurant on property they will always put inspired by. It's because it's being cooked by different chefs in a different location so it won't be exactly how it is in the original restaurant. The restaurant provided the recipe to them and tasted pretty identical to me, but I think they include that incase it isn't identical to the dish you were wanting. I'm really happy I added this to the buffet, people kept going up for more soup and telling me how good it was.Your welcome dinner looks spectacular and sounds like all of the time that I'm sure went into planning it and selecting the menu were very much appreciated by your guests. What an intro to Disney for those who had never visited before! I'm intrigued that it is "Le Cellier inspired" soup... meaning it isn't the exact recipe? Sounds like it was delicious, so no matter - the wording on the sign just stuck out to me. Based on the welcome dinner, sounds like your guests were in for quite the amazing weekend!
I must be starving 'cause this sounds amazing.On the picture above to the left is brie and apple quesadilla with caramelized onion.
Your cake is GORGEOUS!Our cake table. The bottom and top layer were red velvet cake with buttercream. The middle layer was lemon cake with raspberry jam. Decorating the table were the bridesmaids bouquets and my bouquet.
Pretty!A panoramic shot of our ballroom. I'm not sure why the lights look purple since they were actually a deep blue.
Thank you! I love that song, I always turn the radio up when it comes on. I don't think I've heard the version with Andrea Bocelli, I'll have to look that up.Beautiful pictures! I'm glad your special day was perfect.
I listen to Perfect every morning on the way to work. Ed Sheeran did a version with Andrea Bocelli that is magic.
I was having a bit of anxiety with people being late. I am always on time, usually very early for anything I have to get to and they were late for the rehearsal too so it was a lot of showing up late lol. They did show up to the Grand Floridian Lobby for pictures on time, but found out someone offered them a ride in a golf cart, otherwise they would have been late lol. It all did come out amazing, thank you!!What a beautiful day, beginning with that sunrise. I would have had mega anxiety with bridesmaids being late but so glad it all worked out. The chapel looks awesome with the flower petals and amazing view. So many great details from Major Domo to your bouquet to table names to Mickey and Donald showing up. All the food sounds and looks amazing! Congratulations, again!!
It was a little stressful with them being late, but everything worked out in the end. Disney really does a great job with all the little details throughout the day. Glad I could be your first trip report of a Disney weddingYou did a great job, staying calm even though your wedding party was late to hair and makeup. Every detail was gorgeous. Thanks for sharing! I've heard of Disney weddings, but have never seen a trip report of one.
They really did a great job on the presentation and I loved how my cake turned out. I wanted to have Disney touches to the wedding without going over the top with the themeing. We picked the rides and people showed me their fast passes they came out super cute. I don't have any pictures of them, hopefully my professional ones will. I picked out Mickey and Donald's outfits right now to the color of their bow-ties that was really fun. The food really was amazing, when I was writing about it I was wishing I could have more it was so good. Thank you!!The way they wrapped the shrimp together is genius, I love that presentation. Your cake and bouquet were so beautiful! Also love that the tables were named after rides, with fastpasses for the escort cards -- so clever! Also, Mickey and Donald look so proper in their outfits, I love Mickey's bow and their top hats!
So happy your wedding day was awesome! Everything looks picture perfect, and the food sounds especially amazing. Beautiful photos and descriptions!
Congratulations on your marriage!
Thank you! I'll post some pictures in my gown after this post.Beautiful!
Congratulations!!!!
More pics of you and your gown!
It really was the perfect dayWhat a lovely day!
I always seem to read dining reports when I'm starving lol. But the food really was so good.I must be starving 'cause this sounds amazing.
Thank you! I really love how it turned out.Your cake is GORGEOUS!
Thank you!! I always wanted blue for my color scheme even way back when I was still single dreaming of my wedding. Everything came together so nicely with all the colors.Wow. Your wedding looks amazing. navy is one of my favorite colors so I love your color scheme.
Thank you!! I'm going to post a more detailed shot of my dress after this. It was really the perfect wedding, I couldn't dream up anything better. I wish I had preserved my bouquet, I didn't really think about it until after I got it and by then it was too late. I brought home some of the orchids, they really did a great job holding up they only just started to die. Disney definitely could work on their planning process a bit. For the amount of money I wish the planning was a little smoother and they were quicker to respond, but the end results are unquestionably great.First and foremost congratulations! Your wedding sounds like an absolute dream and your dress looks gorgeous!!! And your cake and bouquet are to die for. I actually thought your bouquet was fake flowers it looked so perfect! I'm sure all the planning was difficult but it sounds like it unquestionably paid off.
Now of course to my favorite part: FOOD!!!!!!! Anyway we can do that whole reaching through the computer thing so I can be a guest at your wedding. Especially loving the cocktail hour food. In fact I may be making brie and apple quesadillas tomorrow And your entrees wow! I don't think I could pick between the seafood or filet either. Amazing they executed everything so well.
It is definitely my favorite day I'll post a picture of my dress after this post.Oh my goodness, what a perfectly magical day! Love Donald and Mickey in their tuxes! Can you post a pic where we can see your dress better? It sounds gorgeous!
Thank you!! I love doing surprises for my husband all the time, so I had to do something for the wedding. I love that it worked out, it seemed like I had to tell all of Disney about it and to keep it a secret, which was really tough with him doing all the planning calls!What an amazing wedding! I love the surprises—so magical!
Thank you!! You are so sweet!!What a beautiful wedding. I teared up reading about your day and I only know you from online!!!
