As Walt Disney once said, “It’s kind of fun to do the impossible.” Imagine having your wedding in Epcot, surrounded by 11 different countries and the magic only Disney can offer. Epcot isn’t just one of Walt’s most ambitious ideas; it’s a dreamy wedding destination for those with a love for travel and Disney magic. Dive into this guide to discover the options to create your perfect Epcot wedding and the most photographic spots within the park to say “I do.”

All of the photographs in the article were taken by Orlando wedding photographer, Roy Serafin.

Where in Epcot can you get married?

Epcot has a ton of great photo spots but your wedding ceremony can only happen in a few places around the park. The location of your ceremony and reception will affect your overall pricing, and you can find more affordable venues outside of Epcot at the resorts.

“Unique works of art that perfectly captures you and your partner.

Each location has a ceremony venue fee & an event minimum expenditure. The Event Minimum Expenditure is the minimum amount you must spend with Disney in order to have a wedding or vow renewal, before tax and service charge. The cost of your Epcot wedding will be determined by three factors: ceremony location, day of the week, and time of day.

Is wedding photography included in an Epcot wedding package?

It can be! You can choose to work with Disney Fine Art Photography as part of your package. One thing to note is that Disney Fine Art Photography assigns photographers to each event or portrait session based on availability. You may request one or more specific photographers, but Disney cannot guarantee you will get any of them. This leads to many couples choosing to bring in someone of their choosing. 

Can you have a non-Disney photographer at your Epcot wedding?

Yes, you can bring in your own photographer! Disney requires a media guide for outside photographers and videographers which is $190 per team. So if you have outside photography and videography you’ll have to pay $380 in addition to whatever those vendors charge you.

Please note: Non-Disney photographers cannot be hired for weddings or sessions inside of the Magic Kingdom.
