Let Your Guests Capture the Moment
See your wedding day through your guests’ perspective! From a disposable camera at their place setting, or through a recorded voice memo in a telephone guest book, let guests tell the story of your wedding day and have memories to last a lifetime.
Guest Surprises
Your wedding day is also a moment to celebrate all who have made an impact on your life leading up to this moment. Many of our couples share that while they were planning their dream wedding day, they kept their guests top of mind and wanted to create an experience that would last a lifetime.
"For us, the most important part of our wedding day was building lifelong memories alongside all of our favorite people. We wanted to create an experience that would last a lifetime not only for us but for all of our guests. We were fortunate enough to stretch the festivities into a full week with all of our favorite people.” – Paige & Keith
Consider adding a surprise moment (or a few!) throughout the wedding weekend itinerary that are sure to be treasured for years to come, such as:
- Attraction mix-in after Disney Park hours: After your reception or dessert party, imagine you & your guests being escorted through one of our theme parks to be the last on a favorite attraction. Imagine riding Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind with all your favorite people & leaving through a nearly empty theme park. Can you say iconic?!
- Surprise visit from a favorite Disney Character: Delight your guests’ inner child when a favorite Disney Character arrives at your reception to dance the night away.
- Immersive entertainment, interactive culinary stations, & more: work with your dedicated Disney Wedding Planner to create some magic for your guests!
Highly Themed Events
Themed events are our specialty! Taking inspiration from your favorite Disney stories, or want to pay homage to your lineage or culture? Work with our experts and dedicated wedding planning team to incorporate intentional elements to fully immerse you and your guests into a curated space to make unforgettable memories.
And, yes, we did say “events” - couples are curating an itinerary to spend more time with their guests who traveled far and wide to celebrate with them.
Dinner Party Vibes
Couples are opting to amp up the ambience of their reception with banquet-style seating, warm candlelight, and curated menus. This dinner party vibe puts the focus on their guests and gives an intimate feeling for any size guest list.
Whimsy Is In
Your wedding is a chance to express yourself and show off your personality! We’re seeing eclectic and whimsical theming come to life, and we are LOVING it! When you have access to our creative experts across event design, culinary, and floral teams, the possibilities are endless when creating a cohesive theme that allows you to rest and have fun on your wedding day.
Bold use of color is in – think leaning into heavy monochromatic vibes with floral, bridesmaids dresses, and even the cake. Pops of color in an otherwise neutral color palette allows the couple to draw their guests attention to the moments that matter most.
Iconic Wardrobe
Another trend that has stood the test of time are statement wardrobe choices. Whether it’s matching your tux to the color palette of the big day, custom embroidery to add a personal touch, or an iconic wardrobe change to switch it up throughout your wedding festivities, couples are looking to express themselves through wardrobe changes throughout their wedding events.
Statement Venues
No matter the destination you choose at Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings & Honeymoons, you can find a venue that speaks to your unique personality & makes a statement. Couples can select from over 100 distinctive venues to tell their love story. Whether you choose a Disney Park or Resort that played a significant part in your life or want a fully immersive backdrop for one of your wedding events, there is no shortage of destinations or venues to choose from.
Some of these distinctive venues include World Celebration Gardens in EPCOT, Lanikuhona at AULANI, a Disney Resort & Spa, the Grand Hall on the Disney Wish, and Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland Park.
Cheers to all of the love stories we celebrated together in 2024, and we look forward to helping tell your story in the New Year!
