For Jessica, the hope of getting married at Disney’s Wedding Pavilion was formed many years ago during annual childhood visits to Walt Disney World. “Every time we would ride the monorail back from the Magic Kingdom, I’d press my face to the window as they announced we were approaching Disney’s Wedding Pavilion.” Years later, after falling in love with Elliot, it was time to plan her fairy tale wedding and live that dream.From the romantic color palette, to the timeless venues, and immersive experiences, Jessica and Elliot’s wedding day was picture-perfect and magical.
Disney’s Wedding Pavilion, where the couple hosted their ceremony, sits on its own private island which can only be accessed by a bridge. Inside, stunning crystal chandeliers illuminate the venue and through a stained-glass window you can see views of Cinderella Castle. It created the perfect scene to honor and celebrate Jessica and Elliot’s love story.
After arriving to Disney’s Wedding Pavilion in the Cinderella Coach, Jessica and Elliot exchanged vows and became husband and wife. Afterward, the couple joined their family at Picture Point to take family portraits overlooking Seven Seas Lagoon.
From there, the couple joined the rest of their guests at EPCOT for a pre-reception at Terrace de Fleurs, an intimate courtyard in the France Pavilion overlooking the water. Jessica and Elliot, along with all their wedding guests walked through the park to their reception venue. And the two describe this moment as one of their favorite memories from the day.
“Our favorite part of the day was attending our cocktail hour at Terrace de Fleurs in EPCOT. We were able to walk through World Showcase from our pre-reception venue to our reception venue in American Adventure. To have the whole park cheering for us is a moment in time we’ll never forget!”
Once they arrived at their reception venue, American Adventure Rotunda, Jessica and Elliot got a first look at the beautiful décor before inviting the rest of their guests to join them. The elegant design featured delicate acrylic details, blush and ivory floral, enhanced linen and chairs, and a statement sweetheart table that featured a storybook backdrop.
Once the reception started, there surprise and delights were around every corner. From a performance by the Dapper Dans, to an attraction mix-in with all their wedding guests.
“We joyously celebrated our love with our closest family and friends, many of whom were visiting Disney for the first time. We were able to show them true Disney magic with in-park experiences and an attraction mix-in. Disney made sure our day was flawless and truly put pixie dust in every single detail.”
“The most important aspect of our wedding was to feel the Disney magic in every part of our day. Surprisingly, that magic actually came mostly from the incredible cast members who were by our side the day of the event. They made all of our dreams come true in terms of reserving us in-park venues and experiences, but it was the way they created extra magic for us as a couple throughout the day that made it truly special and very “Disney.”
