Disney Dreams on a Budget: Mariely & Ezekiel Say “I Do” at Paddlefish!
Calling all budget-savvy lovebirds with a sprinkle of Disney magic! Mariely, a TV producer with a Disney wedding dream, and Ezekiel, a chef who honed his skills in Panama (talk about international love!), didn’t want a fairytale wedding to break the bank. Enter Intimate Weddings of Orlando, their fairy godmothers in disguise!
Paddlefish Paradise:
Instead of a traditional ceremony hall, Mariely and Ezekiel opted for the enchanting Paddlefish restaurant at Disney Springs. Imagine saying “I do” surrounded by sparkling lights and Disney vibes, without the hefty price tag! Intimate Weddings of Orlando’s Paddlefish package was the perfect fit, and Connie helped them customize it to create their dream ceremony.
A Family Affair:
Mariely’s dream became a reality with a heartfelt and personal ceremony officiated by her brother-in-law, with her brother translating by his side. It was a heartwarming moment filled with love and family support.
Blooming with Disney Magic:
Flowers by Lesley took care of every floral detail, from the whimsical wildflower arch and Mariely’s stunning bouquet (complete with a hidden Mickey!), to the romantic rose petals lining the aisle and Ezekiel’s boutonniere. Everything looked picture-perfect, capturing the Disney spirit flawlessly.
Memories Captured Forever:
Edmund with Rhodes Studios documented every magical moment of their day. From their arrival at Paddlefish to a tearful “first look” (when they see each other before the ceremony!), the heartwarming ceremony, family portraits, and fun photos around Disney Springs, Edmund captured it all.
Congratulations to Mariely and Ezekiel! May your happily ever after be filled with endless love, delicious food (because hello, Paddlefish!), and a lifetime of Disney magic!
