Did u guys do buffet style or like a set plateSame thing. If they have one at disneyland to help you out the better but at a cost, then again is the cost worth your peace of mind? Usually a place like disneyland has preset prices pick a package done. Me on the other hand i went the cheap route did about 90% of the work. Making calls tapping into family and friends for recommendations. Or from previous interactions with vendors. It was alot of work but worth the savings in the end, we had a friend of a relative who is a wedding planner helped us out just gave her all the contact info for the vendors and she took it from there. my wife and I had the best time, we got all kinds of compliments. I think one key is the dj. He will determine the party for you. Good luck any questions feel free to askRepped
Yeah I was checking out things at Disneyland
And they provide u with a wedding coordinator
Or is that different from a wedding planner
How much did that run u guys if u mind saying
Also what kind of cake u guys get

First of all, congratulations on the engagement. I think it's neat that you and your wife are having the wedding at Disneyland!
I know you asked above if you should have a plated dinner or buffet style, I think if you decide on what is best for you and your fiance. Why? You guys are paying for the food and it's your special day. Like what some folks said above, don't let parents influence you on what they would like to have at your wedding. It isn't about them, it's about you two. If the options that Disney offers you seem good, talk it out with your fiance and see what works best. Don't stress about what people may think, this is the food that you both want to serve.
My wife and I had issues with her parents on who to invite to the wedding. It even got to the point where her aunt's were requesting favors to invite people that we didn't know. Long story short, we added these people to the guest list and they didn't show up, because they couldn't find anything to wear.
Do what works best for the both of you. If parents are involved in your planning process, establish the guidelines on what you both want and who you want for the wedding.
You really don't have to invite a relative who you haven't seen since you were two.

See I'm having that issue with my girl about who to invite
I only want up to around 80 people
And I only want important people to us and our lives to share this moment with
She tryna invite her cousins cousins sister from the Philippines
She understands where I'm coming from
But her issue is just narrowing her list
She has like big family
Me I have one too
But all them ****** ain't worth paying for at Disneyland

My wife has a huge family compared to mine and we kept it strictly to 1st cousins, their parents, Godparents that kept in-touch with the family, and a handful of close family friends and that was it. Majority of our guestlist was our family and our friends were part of our wedding or one or two tables of them.
You have every right to only want important people to you guys to share your special day. And hell no, they ain't worth being invited to go, especially if the wedding is at Disneyland.
Just continue to communicate with your fiance on the guest list, because I don't think a 2nd or 3rd cousin should be invited, unless they're close.
Don't forget to have Lechon at the wedding. I'm Filipino and I learned that a Lechon was 'needed' at the wedding.
The one thing I hated about planning the wedding with my wife was all the traditional expectations/demands my in-laws had. Terrible.

Talking about I need to be christened or something I think that's what Catholics called it
Cause they want a catholic priest yadda yadda yadda
And the only way he would do it is if we both were christened
I can't even remember the last time her parents even drove past a church
Wait I take that back
The only time they go is during Ash Wednesday to get that thing on the forehead
All in all though since I'm paying for it
And ive given her acceptable reasons for
Some things I didn't think we're necessary or whatever for the wedding
My girl hasn't tripped on my objections
But still 3 years a lot of things can change
But if I want it perfect bows the time to make sure things are right
And I want to make sure she is as happy as can be
u only live once might as well make the most of it
Btw outta reps
Will rep when I reup

Just continue to communicate with her as you both plan. I'm sure plenty of things will change during the planning process. Who knows, maybe you decide that you want to invite her entire family and turn Main St. into a fiesta lol.

For a wedding at Disneyland depending on if u get a room there during ur wedding
Which u need to have a MINIMUM of 10 days between ur guests
Which may be too much for the people we invite
the price STARTS at a MINIMUM of $12,000
So if me and some guests collectively book rooms which would equal 10 days
My minimum to be able to book is 12 racks
Then add in ur entertainment and food and all that
I need to plan this far ahead
If I don't plan on booking a room there and stay at another hotel or whatever
My minimum is raised to 15,000
And that's just where it start
I still need to decide about open bar or no bar
Plating or buffet style
I also want a few Disney characters walking around taking pics with guests
And just to do that
That's a extra 14-1,500
So I say it should be around 15,000
But I'm preparing for $20000
So I gotta start planning now
Plus next year I'm planning on buying a house
I gotta plan that far ahead

I got married in mexico on the beach. Had about 30 people there. Cost me about 20k. 20k for 80 people seems really cheap. Anyways, I'm sure they have wedding planners at Disney that you can contact and will QB the whole thing, give you advice, etc.

we went with the set plate setup. We had servers and 2 choices on the menu for guests to select. One was chicken marsela and the other was birra (mexican type dish) with sides etc for both. We rented a hall with a kitchen. And brought our own caterer. So i spend i beleive around 2,100 for the food and servers. I think it was around 8 or 9 bucks a plate per person. For 200 guests. (Both huge families). Yes i know this majority immediate family. 1st aunt/uncles and cousins.Cake we did a 3 tier medium sized. Since its just for show we got something nice and also ordered a basic full sheet cake vanilla and strawberry to serve. To Save cost instead of having a massive wedding cake. The wedding cake itself was bottom vanilla strawberry. Mid chocolate strawberry for the wife. And top chocolate and banana for me.

Regarding the guests for my wedding when we sent out the invites we asked for no children and pre wrote the total attending. We had a couple people asks us why. I said who's going to watch your children? Don't you want to have a good time? So that worked. But Then again your doing it at disneyland.

I think I've shared this on here before, but here's my wife and I's montage vid from that day. Definitely a top 5 day in my life so far.
But that's dope you're doing a wedding where you are, I'm hoping for one of my friends to have a getaway wedding just to be able to experience something different but that probably won't happen for awhile. I'd had 4 weddings since the beginning of the year with three more to go, and they've all been traditional. Nothing wrong with that though.

Yeah, you could say it's THEIR wedding. But everyone knows, including me. This is HER day.Are you a feminist or something? **** out of here dude.
This is THEIR wedding.
The Groom is along for the ride and confirming expenses and helping with decision making.
In fact, I'm glad that @nawghtyhare is involvled in the planning. He's already doing more than some grooms do in the wedding process.

Need a dj?
Bigger isnt always better.
Ive djed plenty of weddings in my dj career. I see a lot of couples ,
1. Not enjoy them.
2. Inviting people they really dont want there.
3. over paying wedding things
4. Putting everything on Credit and having a huge debt after.
5.Divorce because of financial problems (your first big financial as a couple was your wedding).
Hit me up if you need a dj though.
