Shades of Green is military resort on Disney property. We have been going there for years to visit the parks. When my daughter got engaged we pretty much knew we wanted as close to a Disney wedding as possible and SOG was able to provide us with that. It is a beautiful venue, the staff was great, the food was great, the resort is great. We were particularly happy with the Sales and Catering manager, Beate Krebs,who worked with us tirelessly throughout the process. I remember reading somewhere a negative review about SOG and how they did not have any contact until right before the wedding. That was not the case with us. I probably drove poor Beate crazy with so much contact, but she was always responsive, pleasant and a delight to work with! If you have the affiliation with the military to have a wedding at Shades of Green, I can't recommend it enough!

Beautiful wedding venue. I booked the venue without even seeing it first. When I went to visit I was blown away. It was more beautiful than I imagined.

If you are able to book your wedding and reception at Shades of Green on Walt Disney World Resort you must!
We got married outside on the gazebo and it so beautiful outside. The gazebo has ponds and beautiful plants and flowers on one side and a golf course on the other. We had our cocktail hour and reception inside in the Palm PreFunction and the ball room. This space is grand and so beautiful it needs no decoration other than what you do to your tables and lighting. Everyone we worked with at the resort was helpful and nice. We were treated like royalty the day of. The food at the reception was amazing. Our guests loved everything about the resort, esp the 24 hour pool! It has all the perks of being at Disney without being too Mickey Mouse.
The quality for the price is unbeatable. We got more than I could have hoped for. Affordability, grandness, great food, attentiveness, and professionalism. Shades of Green has it all and more!

Shades of Green provided food, lighting, chairs, tables, linens, ceremony and our reception venue. It's such a beautiful venue rain or shine. The food was delicious and the staff was helpful and friendly. I highly recommend Shades of Green for any type of event. They truly made our event wonderful!

The staff and facilities here were amazing! They were great to work with and our wedding day was picture perfect!

They made my wedding perfect! It was an absolutly beautiful venue!

The wedding team at Shades of Green made our wedding a night to remember. Every detail from planning the wedding to actually being in the moment was absolutely perfect. We chose to stay at Shades of Green for 3 nights. Our wedding was a destination wedding and included 90 guests. Teresa Richardson was our sales directors. She handled all of the details in the contract including the number of guests, our food options, the layout of our reception, and the placement and number every table. The banquet team was beyond amazing. They allowed us to bring our flowers from West Palm Beach and store them in the cooler until our wedding day. Every detail was handled perfectly and they spent a great deal of time helping us to organize and deal with any crisis' we encountered. The catering team was excellent. The food was to die for!! Mark, the lead caterer, made sure that my husband and I did not have to go to the bar. He brought us drinks, appetizers, and even offered to make us a plate of food from our buffet.

When you plan for a wedding you are told to plan for things to go wrong. However, the entire Shades of Green team made our experience so magical (it's Disney, so it has to be magical!) They did not allow for anything to go wrong. I could never say thank you enough to the whole Shades of Green crew. The venue was beautiful, but the people who make the event happen far out do the beauty of the venue.

We truly cannot say enough great things about Shades of Green and the members of the staff that make these kind of events possible.

I want to thank Teresa Richardson for handling my wedding in 3 weeks and it came out beautiful. She handles everything in a professional way and gave accurate information. She also answer all my emails in a timely manner. If you are planning a wedding or any type of event, I recommend her. She is friendly and would handle your wedding as it was her own.

Thanks Teresa Richardson & staff

We LOVED Shades of Green! The location was fantastic (hello Magic Kingdom Walt Disney World), the rooms were gorgeous, the prices were beyond amazing, and the service was super! We used half of the Magnolia Ballroom for our ceremony for 75 people, the cocktail hour was in the Palm Hallway, and the reception was in the other half of the Magnolia Ballroom. Our buffet was really good, and throughout the whole process Bonny and then Teresa were super to work with! Emails were answered promptly, all my questions were answered, and I never felt like I couldn't get in touch with someone. Everybody thought the location was beautiful - we were thrilled!

A Beautiful day for a Beautiful wedding! We held our wedding and reception at Shades of Green on 10/17/2009. The resort was amazing and the venue was magical. I was so happy with SOG and especially with Bonny Bailey,,she is a GEM! I enjoyed working with her so much we are still freinds and feel she and Deidra bring warmth and beauty to SOG for all brides and grooms. The location could not be more breathe taking and the food was beyond yummy. :} Even though it is a military resort, there is nothing but beauty and sophistication to the venue,,a perfect Disney Dream Wedding! Thank you Shades of Green for your part of my Special Day!
