No, in fact, you would have to pay the Wedding Pavilion’s Ceremony Fee if you *did* want to use it as a backup. They will place you in whatever available ceremony venue is closest to your reception, usually a ballroom, but you can put in a request if you have a specific backup you want to try for. They can’t guarantee you’ll get it, but it helps for them to know.
What is the standard seating type for outside venues? I see something mentioning plastic lawn chairs but im not sure what exactly that would look like?
The standard seating options vary by location. If you check out the Sea Breeze Point venue page, you’ll see the most common type of plastic lawn chairs Disney uses.
I’m concerned about transportation….can you roll up in a vintage car to the altar or does it have to be a horse and buggy? I wonder what options there are for the grand entrance.
The only access to this venue is a walking path along the river, so only horse-drawn transportation is available. You could ride in a vintage car to the resort, but you’d have to be dropped off in the guest parking lot behind the building, where your guests wouldn’t see you.
Is there an indoor venue at the Oak Manor??
No. The weather backup is the Wedding Pavilion, which is why Oak Manor Lawn has the Wedding Pavilion ceremony fee instead of a resort ceremony fee.
Hi! Love this space. Where could one have their reception if the ceremony is held here?
Any of the usual reception locations! Unfortunately, there isn’t a catered event venue at Port Orleans Riverside, but Epcot isn’t too far away…
Would you be forced to use the wedding pavilion as a back up space or could you select a different venue as your rain place?

Wondering how far away are restroom facilities for this venue?
Far—you’d need to walk across one of the bridges over the river to get to the lobby/restaurant complex. Or drive around the bend back to the lobby.
