Great news for anyone who is dreaming of a European destination wedding or opulent fantasy vow renewal … Disneyland Paris is now offering wedding and events packages!
France is the country of romance and Paris is the city of light, and many of us have frequently wondered why Disneyland Paris was not offering weddings. This year they are introducing three wedding packages which would be perfect for a destination wedding or vow renewal. I’m sure this is also welcome news for our European friends who might not want to travel across the pond for their Disney wedding.
Disneyland Paris is not yet showing up as an option on DisneyWeddings.com yet, and information on the Disneyland Paris website is limited. What is provided are short descriptions of their three packages and some basic information about event “enhancement” options. What we don’t know is what these packages entail … how many guests, what kind of meal, is photography/officiant/floral included, the day of the week or the time of day, etc.

Keep in mind the legal requirements to get married in France are very complicated and restricting (you must be a resident of France for at least 30 days before completing a marriage application), so many US couples who get married in France often get legally married in the US before their wedding.
One thing that jumps out at me is the pricing is not much different between a hotel wedding and a castle wedding. I’m hoping we will soon see images of lovely weddings from Disneyland Paris! I think I have a new Vow Renewal goal.
