Disney Packaged Wedding?

DC Nearlyweds discuss the new Disney wedding package. 

So Disney’s latest venture into the wedding market is a collaboration with celebrity event planner David Tutera. Here’s how it works- you pay Disney $45,000 and you get to choose from 4 pre-designed “couture” wedding receptions designed by David Tutera. You can see pictures of the 4 different styles here or watch videos of the styles here (you can also see a peek of the styles below).

What does $45,000 get you? A reception for 50 people (more people = more money) at Disney Contemporary Resort which includes ballroom, draping, table linens, chivari chairs, props (chandeliers, mirrors), floral centerpieces, lighting, D.J., dance floor, invitations, save the dates, wedding website, and a David Tutera trained planner.

The pictures are lovely, and the idea of a Disney wedding is so fairy-tale! But there’s one problem…

 …the receptions are not customizable. Nothing can be changed. They can’t do your colors, or use the flowers you love, or put your monogram on anything. You can’t change the design of your invitations. You can’t change the location. You can’t even mix and match from their 4 different styles.

Would you do it? I’m on the fence here… I wouldn’t like this for my own big day because I feel like you’re paying for things you may not want or need at your wedding.  But I would LOVE to be a guest at a Disney wedding!
