HI! I love this site. I am beginning to plan my “escape” wedding. So I am looking for somewhere to hold a reception (private party) after the ceremony. Do you by chance know how many people this holds?
Unfortunately, Commanders Terrace has never been available for private catered events, and lately they haven’t even been using it for the Escape cake & Champagne reception like they used to. Some of the other locations on my venues page are available for private Escape receptions, though. If you have PassPorter’s Disney Weddings & Honeymoons, it lists these with details of pricing and capacity in Chapter 2: Escape Collection.
From what I’ve seen, they are still holding the Escape cake cuttings over at the Grand Floridian convention center. But I wonder if they’d let you use it if you asked. It could be that the GF no longer allows DFTW to use it…
What a lovely space, it would be a shame not to be able to use it! My vow renewal wouldn’t be till Feb. 2016 so I guess I’ll wait and see…Thanks for the info!

Have they started using this location for Escape cake celebrations again? I sure hope so, it’s gorgeous.
