Hi - I am new to this board but have listened to a lot of the Disney Weddings Podcasts and have purchased the Passporter's book. I'm not planning on having my wedding until December 2018 (hopefully 2nd week of December), but I am a total planner and trying to have a basic idea of what our budget would be, etc. We are planning on having an Escape wedding and I definitely want to have a dessert party for Illuminations at Epcot. A couple things:
- Would a 5 p.m. ceremony not be available to me because it's December and I want to have the ceremony at Sea Breeze Point?
- I've read I can add regular food to the dessert party, would I also be able to pay extra to have it start earlier? How does this work? I'm trying to decide if we will really need a dinner reservation in between the ceremony and dessert party or if we can just provide food to our guests at a dessert party. Logistically, I would like the simplicity of just having a 5 p.m. ceremony, having maybe a little bit of time in between that we can do some of the activities on the Boardwalk and then heading over to the dessert party at Epcot. I just think that would flow better....but I'm not opposed having a dinner reservation too. Ideally we could pay for an extra hour of food service and have the dessert party start at 7:30 instead of 8:30.....I don't want to starve my guests by waiting too late to provide food, but I want to keep things simple.
