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!!!
