We firmly believe that rain IS good luck on your wedding day, and Nicole & Jeff’s unexpectedly dreary wedding day at Villa Festa is living proof. Just minutes before their outdoor ceremony was set to begin, the skies opened up and one of those classic Florida summer storms rolled through. And yet? It turned out to be one of the most emotional weddings we’ve ever had the privilege of documenting.

Nicole & Jeff met in college back in 2018, and from the moment we arrived it was obvious how much this day meant to both of them. Jeff may look like the stereotypical tough bodybuilder, but he wears his heart on his sleeve. Nicole matched that same emotion every step of the day, and together they created a wedding that felt incredibly genuine, filled with tears, laughter, and one unforgettable dance floor.

When you think “museum wedding”, does the phrase “affordable” come to mind? Normally these two concepts are mutually exclusive—or at least we think they are. Museum weddings evoke images of brides standing on sweeping marble staircases, stolen kisses in art galleries, and sparkling chandeliers, none of which are thought to be attainable for an affordable wedding. But did you know that it is possible to get married on a budget while tying the knot at a museum wedding venue?
