3. And the choices don't stop there

The best part about Disney weddings (besides their awesome location) is that Disney can arrange every element of an event. All a bride and groom has to do is to choose what they want from a selection of cakes, music, food, flowers, photo and video options and transportation choices, and Disney can make it happen — for a fee, of course. Disney's chefs are even willing to whip up a family recipe to serve at the reception if the couple requests that.

Couples can plan their trips from afar by using Disney's Fairy Tale Weddings & Honeymoons website, but those who will be in Florida before the big day can make an appointment to visit Franck's Studio near the Wedding Pavilion. The summerhouse serves as a one-stop shop for planning the big day — and it's even named after Martin Short's memorable wedding planning character from the "Father of the Bride" movies.

4. There are special touches that only Disney can provide

Where else can Mickey and Minnie "crash" a reception? Characters can actually make appearances (though Goofy cannot serve as a best man and Daisy can't be a maid of honor, sadly). Up to two characters can appear during receptions only, for 30-minute increments. Disney also offers the chance to arrive storybook-style in Cinderella's Coach and hire Major Domo, a gentleman in a Renaissance costume who will bring the rings down the aisle in a glass slipper. Couples can also hire "tacky tourists" or "uninvited wedding guests" to provide entertainment at their reception with improvisational comedy and then finish off the night with their own private fireworks show.

5. Disney weddings aren't just limited to WDW

While the Florida resort has the most options, other Disney properties can host events too. Disneyland in California offers variations of the Wishes and Escape collections, and ceremonies can also be arranged on the Disney Cruise Line's ships. Another option is to get married at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa in Ko Olina on Oʻahu. There, a Wishes Collection event is a little more reasonable, starting at $8,200 for a ceremony in a courtyard, patio, lawn or even a private estate overlooking the ocean. A Hawaiian Escape Collection wedding begins at $3,900 and the venue choices are Alohi Point, which is right near the Pacific, or Kula Wai, a quiet spot for twilight ceremonies that's between two whirlpools. 

Couples who choose Disney ceremonies have the added benefit of not needing to travel for their honeymoons — and the sites are some of the top honeymoon destinations in the world. Disney wedding prices are also comparable to wedding costs in many other cities. So once most of the major decisions are made — on the collection, location, entertainment and more — then comes what might be the biggest question: whom to invite? Brides and grooms might find themselves facing a long list of people who'd love to receive an invitation to their special event!
