Dance floor at Eau de France Pavilion?

[Disneyjen34]

Hi all, as a thrilled to bits Maid of Honour for my sister, we´re planning the details (and getting lost in them!) for an October Wishes wedding for around 46 guests. Can anyone tell me if you can have the DJ and a dance floor in the Eau de France Pavilion in Epcot for an evening reception?

You can have a DJ, but not until after the park has been cleared of day guests. Not sure they can fit an actual dance floor in a space that narrow, but plenty of couples skip the dance floor even if they have a DJ.

Fabulous! How does that work when they restrict the package to 6 hours? Would we need to book the 7pm ceremony or if we booked a 5pm could we pay for longer?

Usually they do a 7pm ceremony, cocktail hour during IllumiNations and then the reception after that. If your ceremony was at 5pm and pre-reception started at 6pm, then the four-hour standard reception would cover you till 11pm. You can extend the time by paying a $400 fee and then prorated amounts for the DJ and any food service (like if you wanted to serve a late-night snack).

What happens if it's raining?

Your event is moved indoors but you are given ponchos and umbrellas if you want to go out to see IllumiNations.
