What is the dress code for your wedding?

Are children allowed at the wedding?
Yes, invited children are warmly welcome to both the reception and the ceremony. We understand that the ceremony is late, so please plan according to your child’s needs and comfort.

Most of the evening will be outdoors, with dinner taking place inside. We recommend checking the forecast, and dressing in appropriate layers if needed!
Why is the reception taking place before the ceremony?
EPCOT’s event spaces are available only after the park closes, so we are holding the reception first to ensure we have ample time to celebrate with everyone. After the ceremony, we’ll have a dessert party at EPCOT to celebrate becoming husband and wife!
