    #764 Jessica & Brendan's Sea Breeze Point Wedding

    Jessica and Brendan's Walt Disney World wedding combined a Sea Breeze Point ceremony, Living Seas Salon reception, Baymax, Disney characters, an EPCOT dessert party, fireworks, and even rides on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and Remy's Ratatouille Adventure! In this Disney Wedding Podcast episode, Jessica shares exactly how they planned their Disney World wedding, what they spent their budget on, what they skipped, and what she wishes she had known before the big day. Jessica and Brendan chose Sea Breeze Point for their Disney wedding ceremony and Living Seas Salon at EPCOT for their reception, creating a wedding day that was unmistakably Disney while still feeling personal. Their celebration also included Pluto, Goofy and Baymax, caricature artists, a private first look, outside photography and videography, custom floral, a Disney dessert party at the France Pavilion, EPCOT fireworks, and post-wedding ride time for their guests. One of the biggest surprises? Jessica was able to request Baymax for the wedding—even though Disney doesn't provide couples with a public list of which characters are available. Baymax ended up meeting guests from a conference room at Living Seas (which he couldn't leave because of his size!), and he was still one of the most memorable parts of the celebration! Jessica also shares some fantastic Disney wedding planning advice, including: • Why Sea Breeze Point and Living Seas Salon were the perfect combination for their wedding • How they planned around Disney World crowds and spring break • Why they chose outside photographers and videographers • How they saved money on flowers, décor, invitations and favors • Why they prioritized experiences that could only happen at a Disney wedding • How they added Baymax, Pluto and Goofy to their reception • What happened when rain disrupted their EPCOT dessert party • How they handled Guardians and Remy's Ratatouille Adventure after the wedding • Why doing a first look and family photos before the ceremony was so helpful • What Jessica would do differently if she planned her Disney wedding again • The little wedding details she wishes she hadn't stressed over • Her advice for deciding what is—and isn't—worth the money at a Disney wedding If you're planning a Walt Disney World wedding or vow renewal, this real Disney bride's experience is packed with ideas and practical advice you can use while planning your own celebration.
