Walt Disney World Resort
World Showcase in EPCOT
To me, World Showcase weddings are some of the most magical Disney wedding locations. These venues offer couples the chance to get married in a Disney Park without overwhelming Disney imagery as a backdrop. Couples have the choice to choose:
- Eau de France
- Japan Courtyard Bonsai Garden
- Canada Terrace
- China
- Germany Courtyard
- Italy Isola
Each of these venues is $4,500 and they also have an event minimum anywhere from $7,000 to $17,000, depending on when the wedding is held. Also important to note, most of these EPCOT venues are available for 9am ceremonies only and require Disney transportation to the venue.
Tower of Terror
Who doesn’t want to get married in the midst of the glitz and glamour of the 1930s! This Hollywood-inspire hotel is available to guests who are willing to get married after park close.
