This week, Maria Makonnen shares the story of her Christmastime Wishes wedding at the Wedding Pavilion and Animal Kingdom’s Tamu Tamu Courtyard, plus a safari ride mix-in! Maria discusses how she planned the event from the UK, including how they chose their ceremony and reception locations and how she was able to provide real candles for the centerpieces and candelabra for the cake table. She also covers some of the logistics of holding an in-park reception and her top advice for anyone considering a Disney wedding.

Omg this has to be one of the best weddings I have ever seen! One word PERFECT! From start to finish
So glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely stunning, love animal kingdom weddings! However, I thought normally animal kingdom weddings couldn’t start until a few hours after park closing? Was the couple given special approval to have the wedding start prior to park closing?
Because Tamu Tamu Courtyard is enclosed, you can start events there earlier than at an exposed location.
Thank you!
