When it came to choosing the perfect wedding venue, Alex and Brenden wanted a destination that would be fun and memorable for their wedding guests.
“We knew that, at Walt Disney World, we could have our dream wedding and give our guests an experience they would never forget.”
Their Wedding Vision
Alex and Brenden described their wedding “as a modern fairy tale with party vibes.” Alex shared that, “I wanted to feel like a princess and arrive in Cinderella’s coach with the ponies and have the beautiful wedding pavilion as our ceremony location but I also knew I wanted to watch fireworks and dance the night away.” Alex also shared that she, “wanted a multi-park experience.”
With that vision, our Disney Weddings team was able to create progressive wedding experience that took Alex, Brenden and their wedding guests through multiple Disney Parks, experiencing unique entertainment and delicious culinary delights.
Getting Ready
Alex and Brenden got ready just steps away from their ceremony venue at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. The resort is on the monorail route with views of Seven Seas Lagoon and Magic Kingdom, offering an elegant backdrop for photos and set the scene for their wedding day.
Their Wedding Ceremony
Disney’s Wedding Pavilion sits on its own private island with an iconic view of Cinderella Castle. The bright and airy pavilion, adorned with shimmering chandeliers was enhanced with a floral garland across the altar table.
Brenden’s reaction to Alex’s grand entrance had our hearts melting. After the ceremony, the wedding guests lined the pathway for a picture-perfect petal toss followed by their grand exist via the Cinderella Coach.
The Dinner
Alex shared that, “One of the most important aspects of our wedding was the experience we were giving to our guests.” Part of that experience was viewing the nighttime spectacular, Harmonious, at EPCOT.
The couple and their wedding guests enjoyed dinner and fireworks at Terrace des Fleurs, an intimate courtyard with stunning floral planters and a view of the World Showcase Lagoon.
Another important detail of their wedding was the food, especially for Brenden. They shared that, “some of our favorite food items we had were the Caesar salad with mickey croutons (of course!), beef short ribs, bacon wrapped scallops, mini lobster clubs, risotto, mickey pretzels, poutine bar, and mickey novelty ice cream bars just to name a few!”
The Dance Party
From there, the celebration continued! Alex, Brenden and their wedding guests were transported to Disney’s Hollywood Studios for a magical after-hours dance party on Sunset Boulevard.
To enhance the festivities themed actors roamed the event entertaining guests and tasty after-party snacks were served.
Alex and Brenden shared that “arriving to Sunset Boulevard and seeing it all lit up and watching our families’ reactions as they came down the street” was one of their favorite moments from their Disney wedding.
