Determine which of Disney's three wedding packages best suits you. Disney offers Wishes, Couture or Escape weddings. More elaborate, customized weddings fall into the Wishes category, while smaller affairs (no more than18 people) fall into the Escape category. Couture weddings are designed for the "sophisticated and modern couple" who want to have a "celebrity-styled" affair. Register on the official website and create a Wish Book.
