THE LOW-DOWN
Jessica and Frank chose to celebrate their April nuptials in the form of a family elopement at Walt Disney World. The New Jersey couple ventured to Orlando with their two children, hosting their wedding in the midst of a family vacation to the Most Magical Place on Earth. It was no wonder that they decided Paddlefish Disney Springs was the perfect Orlando wedding venue for them!
We loved how Jessica and Frank included their children in their special day. Not only did their son and daughter process up the aisle and serve as the couple’s attendants, they also witnessed the signing of the marriage license. What a sweet moment for the entire family!
The couple’s neutral wedding color palette also caught our attention. We thought the accents of peach and blue they included were perfect for a spring wedding in Disney Springs. This may have been a small family elopement, but Jessica and Frank left no detail overlooked. They wanted to be sure to have an unforgettable day before Frank, a member of the U.S. military, was deployed for service, so that’s just what they did!

WHAT WE LOVED
The Just Marry! Team so enjoyed working with Jessica and Frank on their family elopement at Paddlefish Disney Springs! We asked the couple’s wedding coordinator, Nicole, some questions about the event, and here is what she shared:
How did the planning go with the couple?
It went very well! Jessica and Frank were so sweet and easygoing. There was only one hiccup along the way. The couple texted me three days before the wedding to say that they had forgotten their speaker at home in New Jersey. I was able to get a speaker to play their ceremony music, so it all worked out in the end!
What was something about this event that really stood out to you?
There was a super fun moment that stood out to me while the couple was taking their post-ceremony photos around Disney Springs. Frank asked to stop and buy Jessica a hot dog, and they ended up eating it “Lady and the Tramp” style!
Where did the couple stay for their family elopement?
The Hampton Inn Orlando.
