Today, Erin McKee shares the story of her Wishes ceremony at the Wedding Pavilion, reception at the Grand Floridian’s St. Augustine Ballroom and Happily Ever After dessert party at the Grand Floridian Marina. She discusses the logistics of planning a large, 160-guest wedding at Disney; how she was able to communicate her vision for the lush floral and decor at her Tangled-themed reception; and her favorite menu items from the reception and dessert party. Erin also shares the magic moment she and Tom were given when Disney let them take bridal portraits aboard the Grand 1 Yacht, where Tom had proposed!

Hey Carrie! I stumbled across this episode while scrolling through Pinterest looking for inspiration for our Marina and patio DP. I am in LOVE with the glow tables Erin and Tom had. I know she mentioned she did all flower and decor through Disney, but was wondering if you knew if they still offered tables like these? I’ve read your guide (and love it!) but only see the the acrylic looking ones often used in Living Seas. Thanks!
I haven’t heard anything about them changing vendors, so they should still be able to get them for you. It could be as simple as these being better suited outdoors, which is why you might not see them indoors unless someone specifically requests them. But your planner can find out for you!
Hi! I’m a wedding DJ based out of West Virginia and one of my bride’s stumbled on your page and fell in love with the light that was used on the dancefloor (the “…and they lived happily ever after”). I’ve been exhausting some resources to find the same lens, but no luck. I was hoping you could help me out! Did you get this exclusively through Disney? If not, do you remember anything about who supplied it? Any help would be amazing. Thank you!
Hi Rhys! I got some info from one of the Disney DJs, and he may be able to help you out. I’ll email you his contact information!
