Want to get married in Disney World? There’s a NEW spot to check out!
Swan Reserve
The Swan Reserve is one of the newest hotels in Disney World, and it’s not like any other hotel. The hotel can serve as a wedding venue, and on the top floor of the Swan Reserve is an event space called VUE, where the views are absolutely incredible. We were invited to attend a wedding showcase to find out what a Swan Reserve wedding would be like, and here’s what we experienced!
We attended the Wedding Professionals Showcase that was held at the Swan Reserve, where we were able to speak with wedding professionals, receive a tour of the resort, and check out the event venue, ceremony space, and reception ballroom.
Wedding Professionals Showcase
The ceremony and reception ballrooms are both located on the main level, right across from each other.
Ceremony Area
After checking out the ceremony ballroom, we made our way to the reception ballroom.
Entrance to the Reception Area
From the perspective of the head table, there’s a large space on the floor for dancing, with tables arranged around the ballroom.

You can imagine your wedding cake right here!
This is where the cake would go!
And the tables were really elegant too, with each table including an elaborate flower arrangement.

We were also shown around a few other spots at the Swan Reserve, including Grounds, a grab-and-go spot for quick food, coffee, and more.
Grounds
We saw the outdoor area near the pool, which was gorgeous with the sunset.

The Swan Reserve also has a bar where you can take a rest and grab a drink…

…and Amare, the signature Mediterranean restaurant of the hotel.

We took a tour through the Presidential Suite, which was pure luxury. There was a spacious living area, with a huge TV.

The bedroom was also beautiful, with a huge soaking tub in the ensuite bathroom.
So luxurious!
Like, come on. Imagine staying here on your honeymoon!
For real?
And the view from the balcony was incredible.

We eventually made our way to the VUE Room and VUE Terrace, where there are floor-to-ceiling windows on the 15th (and top) floor of the hotel.

We were able to sample a variety of delicious foods too, including some charcuterie meats, cheeses, and more.

We also got to try a fresh salad at the Caesar Salad Station…

…and Braised Short Rib Ravioli too!

You can see EPCOT and Hollywood Studios from the top floor. Can you spot Spaceship Earth?

And that means you can also enjoy watching the Harmonious fireworks from the hotel!
