Steph and Dylan’s Fall Portofino Wedding

Wedding Ceremony at the Villa Piazza at the Loews Portofino Bay Hotel

THE LOW-DOWN

Steph and Dylan held their Portofino wedding in mid-October, one of the most popular times of year for Orlando weddings. They ventured to Orlando all the way from Vermont with their closest family members and friends for their unforgettable destination wedding. Our team was honored to be part of it!

The happy couple chose to host their ceremony on the green lawn of the Portofino Bay Hotel’s Villa Piazza, followed by a family-style reception at Mama Della’s. Though theirs was a sweet micro wedding, their celebration was no less spectacular than a much larger event! We loved that they included fun touches like a photo wall and photo booth to help capture every moment of their special day. We also enjoyed Steph and Dylan’s trendy neutral wedding color palette of blush, champagne, and ivory. It was perfect for their elegant wedding venue and looked amazing in their photos!

WHAT WE LOVED

The Just Marry! Team so enjoyed working with Steph and Dylan on their Portofino wedding! We asked their Just Marry! wedding planner, Ellis, some questions about the event, and this is what she shared:

  • What was something about this wedding that really stood out to you?

    Steph and Dylan were so fun! They invited all their guests to attend Halloween Horror Nights with them after their wedding ended. What a (spooky) way to end the night!

  • What was something about this wedding that truly touched you?

    The couple had their son, Wyett, participate as their ring bearer. I thought it was such a sweet touch that they’ll always treasure!

  • Where did the couple stay for the wedding?

    The Loews Portofino Bay Hotel.

  • What was the couple's choice of first dance song?

    “You Save Me” by Kenny Chesney.
