Help with background for ceremony!

Hi all. We are getting married with our pond in the background. We recently bought the place and there is a willow tree in the middle of the pond. Not very pretty as it’s overgrown and there are large parts of it that are dead with no leaves. To the left of it is a weeping willow which is beautiful. We debated on cutting down the willow tree in the middle of the pond, but then my neighbors house would be in the background of our whole ceremony. Any ideas on how to fix the issue?! How to dress up the tree and make it not look as bad, etc. thank you!
