A Fairytale Wedding on the Bow: Yoully & Henry Tie the Knot at Paddlefish in Disney Springs
The Bow of Paddlefish offered a breathtaking backdrop for the ceremony. Sunlight danced on the water, creating a shimmering canvas as Yoully walked down the aisle. Her radiant smile reflected the joy in the air, and the love between her and Henry was palpable. My live rendition of "I Was Made for Loving You" by Tori Kelly and Ed Sheeran added a touch of romance as Yoully made her grand entrance.
A Ceremony Filled with Love and Worship
The ceremony itself was a beautiful blend of tradition and personal touches. Yoully and Henry incorporated a special worship segment into their vows, a request that I knew I could seamlessly integrate with the music. Their desire to include this meaningful element in their ceremony is a testament to the depth of their faith and their commitment to building a life together on a spiritual foundation.
Following the worship portion, they exchanged heartfelt vows, their voices trembling slightly with emotion. As Henry slipped the ring onto Yoully's finger, the joy radiating from them was truly contagious.
Here's what Henry had to say about the experience: "Thoughtful and beautiful. Erica's presence was such a nice touch for our wedding that was on the smaller end but also an outdoor one. All of our sound needs were met for the event space that we had and she was able to accommodate a lot of our requests! For example, we wanted to have a worship time during our ceremony so it was nice that Erica was able to lead that for us while also playing during our cocktail hour and reception afterwards. She has a great way of understanding the balance on when the music needed to be at the forefront versus being in the background. At one point during our reception, she even performed a song for us right after some speeches and chose a song that happened to be a very special song to us!"
Yoully and Henry's kind words truly capture the essence of what I strive to achieve for every couple I work with. My goal is to be more than just a musician; I aim to be a trusted partner who helps create a seamless and personalized experience that reflects their unique love story.
Celebrating with Live Music on the Bow
Following the ceremony, guests enjoyed a delightful cocktail hour on the Bow, where I provided live music to keep the energy flowing. The upbeat atmosphere set the stage for an evening filled with laughter, heartfelt toasts, and unforgettable memories.
From Cocktail Hour to First Dance: A Seamless Transition
As the sun began to set, casting a warm glow over the water, it was time for the first dance. Yoully and Henry swayed to the gentle melody of "Tuesday" by Jake Scott, their love story unfolding in a scene straight out of a fairytale. The live music created an intimate ambiance, allowing them to share a private moment amidst the joyous celebration.
A Delicious Dinner Reception Filled with Special Touches
The dinner reception was a feast for the senses. The talented team at Paddlefish had created a delectable menu, and the atmosphere was abuzz with conversation and laughter. Following the delicious meal came heartfelt speeches from loved ones. As the emotions ran high, I felt a nudge to add a personal touch to the evening. Picking up my guitar, I launched into a song that I knew held special meaning for Yoully and Henry. The moment was pure magic, filled with love and appreciation. During dinner, I surprised them with a special performance of "Lover" by Taylor Swift. The song held a special meaning and their smiles as they gazed into each other's eyes spoke volumes.
A Fairytale Ending: Happily Ever After Awaits
As the final song faded and the last goodbyes were exchanged, Yoully and Henry embarked on their happily ever after. Their Disney wedding was a perfect blend of romance, laughter, and unforgettable memories. It was an honor to be a part of their special day and to create the soundtrack to their love story.
