Ashleigh + Hal : Yacht and Beach Club Wedding and Epcot Reception

October 10, 2025 by Jensey Leave a Comment

A little break in weddings means I’m able to go through my wedding backlogs and share some favorites that never made the blog. I may still have one in my queue from March of 2020!

Ashleigh and Hal went to high school together, but didn’t meet until a Kenny Chesney concert. Yearsssss later (6, to be exact!), Ashleigh got a text from Hal asking if he’d seen her out in a local bar. One dinner led to six years of dating. Hal finally proposed with the help of Nala, their puppy, wearing a bandana asking, “will you marry my dad?”

It was no surprise that Ashleigh (who plans Disney trips for her clients!) and Hal would be tying the knot at Walt Disney World. What *was* a surprise, was that hurricane season would celebrate their marriage in its own way! Thankfully Ashleigh didn’t make it to our list of hurricane wedding postponements! Her original reception venue suffered some water damage and led to a plan B location that dare I say, was actually an upgrade to their original plan. ✨

Each year we deal with weddings and hurricane season and we try our best to calm our couple’s nerves. A few things to keep in mind:

  • This may be your first time planning an event during hurricane season, but it won’t be your wedding team’s first!
  • Disney has your back. They are tracking everything you are and if you haven’t heard from your team yet, don’t panic. They don’t want to freak you out too soon- there *will* be a plan.
  • Follow the right sources that are going to inform you, but not sensationalize the situation. My most trusted source is Denis Phillips! You can find him here on Instagram and Facebook.
A huge thanks to this wedding team!!!

Candace + Erik | Haunted Mansion Themed Wedding at Disney’s Boardwalk Inn

October 10, 2025 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Oh, I’ve been waiting *all* year to share this one for spooky season!! ✨

Two archaeologists fell in love and had one of the most memorable weddings we’ve been a part of. A stunning black wedding dress? Check. Haunted Mansion themed reception? Mhm. A palm reader giving fortunes? Yooooouuuu betcha!!

Buckle up friends, this was a good one!! :)

 

What you see on your wedding morning…

What we see. :) Also hiiiii Stacie Otto!! Hair and makeup extraordinaire, but also the best to have on hand when you’re getting ready solo!

Still not over this gown. And those stunning florals.

I never get tired of sights like these.

Their officiant was Ever Afters by Randi.

I LOVE THIS IDEAAAAAA. During Candace and Erik’s wedding ceremony, they filled a chest to be a time capsule with things special to them as a couple. As each item was placed in the box, their officiant read why it reflected part of their story.

 

The Attic was made for receptions like this!!

 

 

And now an ode to their palm reader, who truly leveled up this wedding. Their guests loooooved her.

Hiiiiiii Marrily Married!!! Candace and Erik, thank you so so so SO much for having usssss!!! It was truly a day we won’t forget!!
