The Best Hotels for Weddings in Orlando
Destination weddings are increasingly popular, and weddings at Florida theme parks are a growing niche. Dozens of Orlando resorts and hotels are competing for your happy event, so take advantage of the wide variety and shop around. As you would expect, Disney does weddings like nobody else, right down to the glass carriage drawn by eight miniature white ponies that deliver the bride to the wedding chapel to join her Prince Charming. Seriously. They do this. Disney even has its own website called Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings & Honeymoons, where, for a price, Fairy Godmothers and elves and bluebirds will plan the entire thing for you, dress, venue, food, and honeymoon destination--like you're in a cartoon! Fun! For those who just want a fun theme-park getaway, there are plenty of choices in hotels nearby.
Rosen Shingle Creek
Why it made the list
Surrounded by 255 acres of semi-tropical landscape, this large resort has on-site wedding planners and a variety of venues suitable for any wedding event, from intimate rehearsal dinners to a huge celebration. Shingle Creek’s golf course, spa, excellent restaurants and beautiful views make it a wonderful wedding location.
Aloft Orlando Downtown
Why it made the list
In the heart of Downtown Orlando, the Aloft offers a hip wedding venue. The repurposed utilities building has polished concrete floors, innovative spaces and a very modern, high-tech feel. Within walking distance of the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, the Amway Center, City Hall, and Church Street nightlife, this urban hotel has a unique vibe, with celebration spaces featuring 10-20 foot ceilings, high-tech amenities, and glittering city views.
Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek
Why it made the list
Florida’s mild climate allows outdoor weddings for most of the year, although August/September might not be the best months to schedule--too hot and humid (unless you want your wedding theme to be "actual swamp, of course). The Hilton is very close to Disney and offers facilities for outdoor and indoor celebrations. The golf course, the spa at the Waldorf next door, a 3-acre lazy river pool, and 12 restaurants make for a great honeymoon, but if the couple has other plans, their wedding guests will still have much to keep them occupied.
