Guys,
Can someone help me whos been in my position before? Please :earsgirl:

Right so i have a budget of around $17k id like to have a wishes wedding with the following:
Date: September 18th 2018
Ceremony @ Sea Breeze point around 10am
Reception/brunch @ The Attic/Boma (i know two totally different venues)
With a park shoot
Illuminations dessert party.

I will have around 20 guests.

Is my budget realistic or am i just dreaming????
 
I think so. My wedding was in 2011 but I had an evening reception with 50 guests and my total was a little over 20k. I had a desert party the night before with 1/2 the guests and no park shoot. You may have to cut out some things or go a little over budget but I certainly think its do-able for around that much - unless prices have gone way? I havent been on this board in a long time!
 
For September you're looking at...

WISHES
Ceremony Fee: $5,500
Food and Beverage Minimum: $2,500
Enhancement Minimum: $5,000

That's before 24% service charge on food and beverage and some enhancements, and 6.5% tax on everything, including the service charge. Note: Boma is not available for private events.

ESCAPE
Ceremony package: Flat $7,000, including tax and service charge
Private Catered lunch at the Attic: $1,000 food and beverage minimum + tax and service charge
Boma dinner reservation ~$50/person

OTHER STUFF
Magic Kingdom Portrait Session: $2,125
Other parks: $1,100
IllumiNations DP ~ $1,000 + tax and service charge
 
I think it MIGHT be do-able? My mini-wishes is in May (2017) and we're doing a lunch buffet ($125 pp food minimum). Shipwreck Beach with Living Sea's Salon Reception. Total is $22,00 for 37 adults. Our Dessert Party alone comes out to $2,500. We've have VERY expensive Dreams photo package that includes our park shoot. That alone is $4750 I think. We also have Mickey and Minnie which come to $1650. You can cut corners here and there it just depends on what you want. If you go with outside photography and only use them for your park shoot you could probably do it!
