My husband and I got married at the Swan Reserve back in August and it was without doubt the best day of our lives! :) Jennifer, Kristie, Taylor and the rest of the amazing Marriott team went above and beyond to make our special day absolutely perfect! We couldn’t have asked for a better team to work with as they made all of the planning so easy and held our hand through the entire process. They were so patient with all of our questions and provided their expertise to help guide us when decision making! They also worked hand-in-hand with our wedding planner (Just Marry!) to ensure that no details, no matter how small, slipped through the cracks! Help from the incredible Marriott team didn’t stop after the planning was done, however, their wonderful staff (including Kristie and Taylor) were there from start to finish of our wedding day to ensure that everything went according to plan! They were even thoughtful enough to create a relaxing space for my husband and I to unwind and connect / talk together immediately after the ceremony — which was something that we really wanted to do!…it’s like they just knew us, we didn’t even have to ask! We will forever be grateful for the amazing help, kindness, talent and generosity of Jennifer, Kristie, Taylor and the rest of their wonderful team!! They even helped make our stay at the Swan Reserve the night of the wedding extra magical and we will never forget their thoughtfulness!! In fact, their entire staff that we dealt with during our stay were absolutely lovely and we wouldn’t have wanted to have our special day anywhere else!! I would greatly recommend this location and staff for any wedding or special event that you have!! :)

My wife and I got married in the Oasis ballroom and our reception was in the Vue ballroom at the top of the Swan Reserve. Fortunately, that was the first and only venue we toured because we knew right away that's where we wanted to get married. It is absolutely stunning in the Vue! I was even more impressed with the catering team, specifically Kristie! She was so great to work with and made sure we were taken care of and got exactly what we wanted. She shared some great tips with us that helped our wedding day go smoothly. She went above and beyond what we wanted and we can't thank her enough for all of her hard work!

I was fortunate enough to host my wedding at the Walt Disney World Swan Resort. I am a huge Disney fan, so much so in fact that many of my family members told me that if they opened their invite and did not see a Disney wedding they would not believe it was mine. That being said, my fiancé and I did look at hosting our wedding at the Disney resort, however they could not provide us with an outdoor cocktail space with a close indoor reception space. Plus we really wanted a location where all our friends and family could stay and enjoy all the wedding festivities in one place. We were extremely happy to find that the Swan Resort could accommodate our outdoor cocktail and indoor reception vision. The grounds are absolutely beautiful especially during the holidays, and our guests loved not only the prime Disney location, but the service they received while staying at the hotel. Word of the wise, I will say getting a date at the Swan Resort was difficult. They do prioritize conventions and therefore give them first pick at the dates, so that was difficult to deal with on the onset. However, once you get a date and if you are lucky enough to get to work with Natalie Abrams at the Swan Resort you have hit the jackpot! I cannot say enough about Natalie, she worked closely with my amazing wedding planner Leanna McDonald at JustMarry! and she is top notch. We hosted not only our wedding at the Swan, but also a rehearsal lunch, meet & greet cocktail the night before the wedding, and a farewell breakfast. All our events were absolutely beautiful. We were lucky to have 115 guests at our wedding who flew in from all over the world and each one of them not only loved the hotel but cannot say enough about the food. If you are thinking about a Disney wedding I highly suggest the Walt Disney World Swan resort. Picking a wedding venue can be a difficult decision but I am so glad that the one I picked I get to continue to enjoy, for not only do I hold fond memories of staying at the Swan & Dolphin when I was younger, I now get to continue these memories staying there with my now husband and someday my children. I cannot thank the team at the Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin Resort enough for my dream wedding!

Our wedding was put together as a package. We got to customize it to our exact specifications which was AWESOME and they had a few different sites to choose from for our ceremony. I really enjoyed having choices and being able to pick from a list or be able to add my own ideas. We did have a few bumps in the road but overall everyone was incredibly nice and our day was beautiful

My Bachelorette Party took place at Disney -Epcot World Showcase, Jellyrolls & Atlantic Dance Hall so it was awesome to stay right there on the Boardwalk. Our room was super expensive for a double for one night, but it was pretty and convenient for us.

I stayed here a few times and I am glad I picked this resort for my wedding guest. Hospitable, flexible and really made my wedding week a lot smoother.

If you want to get married in Disneyworld and you don't want to spend an arm and a leg this is the way to go. I did the basic package on the white sand beach. The venue was so beautiful. The wedding planners were so helpful and attentive. I was trying to plan a wedding from Indiana and the wedding planners made everything so easy.

Fantastic, awesome, I can't say enough about our event there. We were about 40 people in their private back room and still had tons of rooms. It allows you a private entrance in and out (for smokers) and they paused service to allow us to go see the nightly fireworks before end of the night coffee service. loved it and would love to think of some reason to have a party there again.

My now husband and I knew we wanted to have a Florida destination wedding but were frustrated by the minimum expenditures and guest count restrictions that accompany and Disney Fairy Tale wedding so we decided to have our wedding at the Swan instead. We still got to have beautiful wedding pictures along the Boardwalk, the use of Disney approved wedding vendors, the close proximity to the parks but with a smaller price tag and none of the hassles. The team at the Swan and Dolphin took great care of our wedding guests. Our wedding was located at the Crescent Terrace which is a beautiful and serene area overlooking the waterway leading to Epcot. It was perfect!

We had a wonderful wedding at this location last month. Their weddings are run through a company called Just Marry and we had a fabulous time! The only issue is there isnt a great walkway for walking down the aisle. Otherwise please check this place out!!

I work in the hotel industry &amp; decided to have my wedding a competitor hotel. The entire planning process was so easy and the staff was so easy to work with. The day of the wedding I put everything into the Catering &amp; Event Team's hands and they exceeded my expectations. They are truly a professional &amp; classy team! They made it a dream day for me and everyone is still talking about the food! Best wedding food ever, is what we've heard from our guests.

The food was fantastic for the wedding. I could not ask for more. The desserts were AMAZING! I highly recommend WDW Swan and Dolphin! All in all, it was a bit overly priced; however most excellent. The wedding planner did work with us on making the menu specific to our needs. I am rather impressed, and I do not say that very often.
