Theme Park Weddings

Theme Park Wedding Venues

Want to add a little magic to your wedding? Maybe a little adventure? A big splash? Then you might want to consider a theme park wedding at one of the many theme parks in the U.S. and abroad.

Considerations for Theme Park Weddings

One thing to consider about theme park weddings is the time of year theme parks are opened. While most theme parks in California and Florida are open all year round, many theme parks are open seasonally, many opening in March, April and May, and closing at the end of October.

Popular Theme Parks for Weddings

The following list is by no means complete, but does contain many theme parks which offer wedding services and venues within the parks for ceremonies and receptions.

Disneyland
Anaheim, California

You loved it as a kid, now get married at the Magical Kingdom. How does reciting your vows in Sleeping Beauty's Castle sound?
