After their marriage proposal outside of Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion, it was only natural for Nadia and Danny to plan a Halloween Disneyland wedding! Their beautiful wedding at the Rose Court Garden had elements from Haunted Mansion and Nightmare Before Christmas, along with classic Disneyland wedding staples including Cinderella’s Coach and a royal footman. Nadia couldn’t wait to send in her wedding spotlight to share with planning couples, so the photos here were taken by guests. She has some really great advice regarding wedding planning, too, so keep reading and I hope you enjoy Nadia and Danny’s wedding spotlight!

I love that they used the Disneyland closing spiel at the end of the night! Would have totally stolen that idea if we were still wedding planning!
I’m glad to see and read that Nadia had the wedding of her dreams. I really love it when couples add bits of themselves into their event and this one really shows. I think the spooky GOBO’s looked great and I think the theme was carried out wonderfully. It was the right amount of Halloween, Disney and Wedding.
Great ideas about using the in-park recordings to bring the magic of the parks to their event!
