March 22, 2025 at the Bride’s Childhood Home and Lake Mirror Loggia

All it took was touring one wedding venue for Taylor Beck (now Deegan) and her fiance, Matt, to realize the ideal spot for their wedding was actually the place Taylor had spent much of her life.

The couple’s ceremony took place in the front driveway of her parents’ Lake Hollingsworth home, which was previously owned by her grandparents—the seminal moment of a very personalized celebration.

“When we first started the planning process, Matt and I decided we wanted three things for our wedding: for it to feel intentional, be intimate, and be bursting at the seams with love,” Taylor said.

Their wedding weekend kicked off with a Wiffle ball game at Peterson Park, the bride and her mom hand-embroidered napkins for all 154 guests and the seating chart was made up of their favorite photos of each person.

The reception took place at Lake Mirror Loggia on a pristine Central Florida day that had a high temperature of 74 degrees.

Taylor said all of the details of the celebration would never have come together so seamlessly without the expertise of wedding planner Holly Hungerford of Holly Events.

“Holly was with us every single step of the way—from figuring out the logistics of turning a home into an event space to finding the perfect layout for our reception at The Loggia,” she said. “She helped bring our craziest ideas to life and made our day the best of our lives.”

Hungerford said it was a joy to carry out the couple’s vision for a Father of the Bride type of celebration in a beloved local setting.

“The nostalgia of a wedding in the bride’s childhood home, surrounded by their favorite people, and the charged emotions of a wedding day sounded like a dream, and it was!” she said.
