Disneyland Hotel

had initially assumed it would be way out of our budget but we were pretty pleasantly surprised by its competitive pricing compared to other venues we were considering. We ended up taking a tour of the venues and Disney had to offer and it was truly love at first site. We fell so in love we immediately stopped considering other venues and rushed to put down a deposit to claim our spot. Once we did, we got connected with the sweetest human ever, Kaylee Vollert. She was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and encouraging. She was very responsive to both email and text, and she also would send me questions and reminders to help keep us on track. She’s so professional and great. Closet to the actual wedding date, we got to meet our day of coordinator Sarah Spillard and she was also such a great person to work with. On the actual day of, Sarah was with me every step of the way to make sure I knew where to be and what to do. Between the two of the them, the day went off seamlessly. All of my bridal party and guests were even impressed and amazed with the two of them. They showed us Disney hospitality that people expect. So many of my guests told me our wedding was the best wedding they had ever been to.

Sue, we knew that we were in good hands. We were impressed by her energy, bubbly personality, and helpfulness. We called her our very own 'fairy godmother'. Kaylee was also outstanding, she was so easy to work with and responsive to all of our requests and questions. Planning a wedding is stressful, so planning a Disney Castle wedding, we thought would be a much more daunting experience. This dynamic duo, presented us a vision for the most perfect Castle wedding that we could ever wish for. They guided us through all the steps, from hearing out our vision for the event, to understanding our eccentricities and cultural sensitivities, to showing us the vision and the tasting. They made the whole process way less daunting. When it came to the big day, we felt like we were so well taken care of. The team was with us at each and every step. They had the whole day planned down to the minute. We did not have to stress about anything, and we were able to soak in and enjoy the entire magical day. Thank you for helping us make magic happen!

all the way to our day of coordinator Debbie . My literal all-star dream team! They literally took care of everything , and are a one stop shop for everything . They have everything you need let alone contacts for all services! I had a vision and they made it come to life so seamlessly and within our budget! I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

ich we were able to schedule quickly thanks to their flexibility. Tanner walked us through all of our options for getting married at the Disneyland Resort and provided every detail we needed. I already had my heart set on the Rose Court Garden and Sleeping Beauty Pavilion, and Tanner helped get the contract in place almost immediately. He was incredibly helpful and even fielded some of my dad’s tougher questions with ease. After booking, Tanner connected us via Zoom with our Disney wedding planner, Chelsea Danhauser, who would be our main point of contact for the rest of the planning process. Chelsea was absolutely amazing—her responsiveness and genuine care for our wedding stood out from the beginning. About six months before the big day, we met with her in person to go over all the details. We also met with Karla Navarro from the floral and décor team. Both Chelsea and Karla did an incredible job showing us what Disney could do and brought our vision to life. I was especially set on having the Cinderella Coach, and they worked closely with us to make it happen within our budget. About three months before the wedding, we had our menu tasting with Chelsea. I really appreciated how accommodating the team was with my work schedule, especially since I was planning from out of state. The food was fantastic—we went with a duet plated meal of beef and chicken, Mickey pretzels for the pre-reception, and a churro-flavored wedding cake. Disney did an amazing job creating a menu that reflected our tastes and favorite park treats. Our final Zoom call took place two weeks before the wedding, where we were introduced to our day-of coordinator Debbie Redmond, Disney DJ Doralee, entertainment assistant Sarah Sparks, as well as Chelsea and Karla. The entire Disney team was incredible, and I’m so grateful we chose to use their vendors. On the wedding day, I truly felt like royalty. Everyone kept asking if I was stressed, and honestly, I wasn’t. I knew Disney had everything under control, and if anything went wrong, I never knew about it. Words can’t fully capture how wonderful Chelsea and Debbie were—they ensured the entire day went off without a hitch. Doralee made the ceremony feel magical and even got our 95-year-old relative dancing! Our banquet captain was attentive, the food was amazing, and Sue, who brought me a drink just as the Cinderella Coach arrived, made me feel like a real princess. The floral and décor team transformed an already beautiful venue into something straight out of a fairytale. I can’t recommend a Disney Fairytale Wedding enough. Every vendor went above and beyond to make our dream day a reality. It was, without question, the most magical day of my life. (Photos from White Rabbit Photography)

Grand Californian. At first, we were having a difficulty deciding between the Rose Court Garden @ Disneyland hotel but we spend alot of time at grand californian when we stay at disneyland and we decided to choose the Brisa Courtyard as our ceremony location. We signed our contract with Michelle and Chelsea, our planner, then took over and did excellent work. We had approx 130 people in a theater in the round in Brisa and it was everything we hoped for. Some people say they love the planning aspect of a wedding but that was not us, but Chelsea was communicative, and sent us multiple budgets when needed. She answered all our questions when asked and worked with us on making key parts of the ceremony and reception happen smoothly. As one of the other vendors stated- this event was issue free. All of my friends complimented the food supplied by Disney from the cocktail hour (pre-reception with our specialty cocktail, to their amazing mushroom bisque, the main and the desserts). The flower and decor were lovely. Disney is not the cheapest option around and they are a stickler for their rules, but they put on the show one expects and it went smoothly from start to finish the day of which is in the end what one wants.

ring questions and taking us on a tour of venues as our initial contact with Disney Fairytale Weddings. Thank you for allowing us to reserve the Sleeping Beauty Pavilion and Rose Court Garden almost two years in advance. Traci, our wedding planner, was our fairy godmother in making this fairytale wedding come true! She understood our ambitions and expectations and did her utmost to ensure our wedding was as magical as possible. We are truly and forever grateful to you, Traci, for all that you’ve done for us in planning this special day. Karla, our Disney florist, managed the floral and décor for our wedding. We’re so thankful for your help in creating exactly what we imagined. You ensured every detail—from the large floral arrangements, bouquets, and centerpieces to the favors and even the small charms on the boutonnière and bouquet—turned out just as we envisioned. Chris, our Disney DJ, mixed together an eclectic selection of genres like R&B, Disney, and Chinese pop. We are so thankful for you and glad that you were able to weave in our song requests throughout the evening. He also revived the party and taught us a line dance at the end. Lastly, thank you to Debbie, our day-of coordinator. You knew everything that needed to happen and where it needed to be, ensuring no commotion or stress reached us on our wedding day. You flawlessly coordinated with our vendors and guided our guests, making sure everyone was where they needed to be. We’re incredibly thankful to have had you as part of our team. We are also very thankful to the chefs and dining staff. The food was delicious, and the cake was decadent. The talented chefs also tailored meals for our guests with dietary restrictions. Our wedding was Cinderella and Sulley themed and we are glad that Disney Fairytale Weddings helped us incorporate this. We had the Cinderella Carriage, Castle Photoshoot, and the Magic Mirror Photobooth. We were stunned when we saw the carriage. It was breathtaking and looked just like the carriage Cinderella and Prince Charming went off in after their wedding. The Castle Photoshoot was quite early in the morning, but also worthwhile. It was nice to go to the parks for the first look. Lastly, the Magic Mirror Photobooth was a lot of fun. Guests enjoyed dressing up and taking photos there. We highly recommend Disneyland Fairytale Weddings to all future brides and grooms. To our Wedding Team, we are tremendously grateful and appreciative of everyone's collective hard work and dedication in creating this wonderful wedding. You were all as invested as we were in making the day as enchanting, magical, and memorable as possible. Team, we can proudly say—we did just that. Our wedding is a dream come true because we all had the courage to pursue it.

llowed through. Chelsea was our planner and she was by my side the whole process. And Jeannie, our day of coordinator, may have been an actual genie! She diffused any and all issues that came up throughout the day. Everyone we worked with at Disney was fantastic. It started to rain on our wedding day and they did their best to honor allowing me to keep the ceremony outside, which even meant starting a few minutes early. It was a beautiful and flawless day!

ith us for over a year to make every dream we had come true within our budget. Keep in mind rules with Disney are always evolving and at the mercy of approvals from the Parks and Hotels. We wanted our wedding to be very personalized, Celestial themed with Disney touches. Traci is an AMAZING ally in making your wedding dreams come true and was extremely responsive and patient with every idea and question we had. I am very detail oriented and am so incredibly appreciative with how detailed and organized she is. She is truly the best!! I am SO GRATEFUL for her! We had our wedding at the Brisa Courtyards at the Grand Californian Hotel and it was exactly what we envisioned with the magical forest vibes and the fun monorail passing by! All the foods, cake, details were absolutely incredible! Every single cast member we met through this whole process was so sweet and accommodating and really went beyond to make us feel special. Even though some things didn't go as planned, Disney Weddings did their part to make it right, and sprinkle in some magic. We really feel like we are part of a special Disney Weddings family now! Thank you so much Disney Weddings for creating such a magical memorable experience for us and all our family and friends! If you love Disney as much as we do and want a unique, special Disney experience to share with your loved ones, I would not hesitate to reach out to the weddings team!

redible answering all our questions and putting our worries to ease, if I had to do it again I would! And the food was amazing I would highly recommend a Disney wedding

y enemy but the entire Disney team never made me feel anything but comfortable and taken care of. It was my dream wedding. If your thinking of getting a wedding planner, do it! There were a couple things that didn’t go as planned but they were insignificant in comparison to the entire day. After all, that is 100% of weddings, I believe.

from reception, DJ, flowers and you get a wedding coordinator!!

my guests were in the same tower which was very convenient. I was able to request what guests were closest to my room, thus making sure the room my fiancé was going to get ready in was not near mine!! I couldn't risk him seeing me before the first look.
