Disney’s Wedding Pavilion sits on its own private island and can only be accessed via a bridge.

Over 28 years ago, when Disney was deciding where to construct the purpose-built wedding venue, they knew they wanted to offer the best view of Cinderella Castle. So, the team created an island on the water that would offer the dreamiest view of Magic Kingdom.

  • This was the most magical place for my husband and I to have our Disney Wedding this year and the Disney Fairy Tale Weddings team pulled it off perfectly! (Especially our incredible coordinators and having Star Wars themes played on the organ!) This will always be one of the MOST special Disney Destinations for us anywhere.
