Anant & Radhika

Let’s start with the sensational Ambani wedding! It has been quoted as the “wedding of the year” and you can guarantee we enjoyed every element. 

When it comes to grandeur, the Ambanis never disappoint! Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding was a real experience, blending tradition and extravagance. Held over several days at the Ambani family’s Mumbai residence, Antilia, the celebrations featured breathtaking floral installations, live performances, and rituals steeped in Indian culture.

Radhika looked radiant in a red Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla lehenga, adorned with intricate embroidery and jewels, while Anant wore a cream sherwani embellished with gold. Highlights? A stunning Baraat procession, fireworks, live dhol players,  topped with a star-studded guest list, and a reception dinner featuring an exclusive menu by Michelin-starred chefs.

Vicky & Ercan 

My Big Fat Geordie wedding indeed! Vicky Pattison and Ercan Ramadan tied the knot in a very chic ceremony at  London’s Marylebone town hall known for its classic intimate setting for the legal part of their marriage before flying to the Amalfi Coast for their main ceremony at Castello Monaci, nothing short of a Mediterranean dream! Vicky went for more than one dress for her wedding day. Suzanne Neville and The Wedding Club worked to ensure she looked stunning in every single part of the celebration!

Millie & Jake

Another Bride in gorgeous dresses in Italy, Millie Bobby Brown married Jake Bongiovi at the stunning Villa Cetinale. Millie wore four dresses across the occasion, for the wedding ceremony, she wore a custom Galia Lahav gown, working with designers to create her customisations. Later changing into a vintage-style Valentino dress for their couples photos, an Oscar de la Renta short dress for the reception and another Oscar de la Renta full gown to cut the cake! Millie’s four-dress approach not only showed her love for fashion but also ensured each element of the day had it’s own unique vibe.  

The flowers, oh wow! A huge white flower arch was absolutely stunning and they also had one of our favourite bands, Sensation Band, performing for their guests!

Rebel & Ramona

Rebel Wilson and Ramona Agruma married on the Italian island of Sardinia, a truly romantic spot where they had holidayed before. They organised the wedding in 3 months and an important part of the wedding for Rebel was obviously the music, flying in a 20-piece band led and produced by Alessandro De Angelis

Rebel and Ramona stunned in a duet of Pronovias dresses in a Mikado fabric, classic elegance, styled individually. Rebels corseted princess gown looked stunning next to Ramona’s A-line silhouette, matching perfectly. 

Josh & Jordan

“In a *light* blizzard” Josh Radnor and Dr Jordan Jacobs married at the Cedar Lakes Estate in Hudson Valley, in upstate New York, in a heartwarming moment, outdoors, during a major snowstorm! 

Guests and suppliers had to stay the night as they were unable to travel due to the snow and ice! 

Guests received welcome bags on arrival, including incense sticks, an incense dish, CBD tincture and an ‘intention kit’ with paper a pen and a note reading “‘We find that setting an intention can be a helpful way to drop in and calibrate your internal compass to true north”

Lana Del Ray & Jeremy

The Lovely Lana announced her romance with Jeremy Dufrene, jut one month before they wed in an intimate ‘relaxed, family-focused’ ceremony by the water in Louisiana, where Jeremy operates his popular swamp boat tours and where they first met. 

We haven’t seen any official photos other than those released here, and no information about the dress, sad face!

Zoe & Danny 

Influencer and sister to Molly-Mae, Zoe Hague married her military fiance Danny Rae at the gorgeous Inn on the Lake at Ullswater, in the Lake District National Park. They had a beautiful outdoor ceremony, with the British weather on their side, with the clouds parting and blue skies and majestic mountains – Hannah’s idea of a perfect backdrop! 

The night before the wedding, the wedding party enjoyed a scenic lake cruise aboard the Ullswater steamer to start the celebrations. For the wedding itself, Zoe wore a fitted strapless dress from The White Closet, florals from the talented Amelia Rose Florals featured a white floral arch, flower meadows for the ceremony and stunning hand bouquets for the bridal party. Following the ever-popular trend of an outfit change, Zoe’s second dress was a beautiful shorter-style ivory dress and Danny changed into a different suit, after a shower first!

Adele & Rich

Adele has been keeping us on our toes, she has been dropping cryptic hints about her wedding to Rich Paul. If you try to find out information about Adele’s wedding online, you won’t find it! She keeps teasing us all, referring to Rich as her husband and responding to Alan Carr’s asking his audience if anyone has got married recently with an “I did” but she did confirm in August they are not married, yet! So 2025, Adele,  we want to see your wedding!

Hannah & Martyn

Okay, not necessarily celebrity weddings, but one I couldn’t miss out on! Our Hannah Rose married her very own Mr Right, Martyn. Hannah and Martyn met through a friend on a night out, and as she says “The rest is history”! 

The wedding celebrations started with the legal bit taking place in the registry office, afterwards, Hannah swapped her pink wedding shoes for her climbing boots, and they along with 2 photographers, a videographer and 2 friends climbed Snowdon to read their vows to one another! 

Hannah and Martyn continued to celebrate their wedding with Friends and Family a couple of weeks later at home in Northamptonshire, with an outdoor ceremony, in true British style the rain only started 1 minute before the end of the ceremony! They celebrated the rest of the day with a gorgeous BBQ station from Portfolio Events and amazing live music throughout their drinks reception and the Josie Soden band for the reception. You can read more about Hannah’s wedding planning in her wedding blog or listen on the “Let’s Get You Wed” Podcast.

The post Celebrity Weddings of 2024! appeared first on Wedding Planner and Event Manager, London and UK.

Over 18 months later, the couple are now MARRIED! And having listened to every single episode (yup that’s right!) and scouring their Instagram’s, plus many cast members who attended the big day, I had to write up my thoughts on the wedding, and also point out some bits were mentioned along their podcast journey, which may or may not have made it to the day.

the dress

Of course, it had to be mentioned first, made by the incredible talents of Emma Beaumont, who even admitted in a latest episode of Nearlyweds that Sophie didn’t quite do as many trials as usual (I imagine Sophie’s diary is pretty full to the brim so maybe that’s why!) but still looked incredible. I had an idea that Sophie would go for a fit and flare style, but was surprised by the lace. I thought she would opt for a sleek, plain white number, very contemporary. I was also surprised by the sleeves due to the wedding being in Spain and I’m sure, very warm! But loved them all the same! Absolutely LOVED the addition of the cathedral veil – it really made the outfit. You can see in photos and videos that Sophie then changed later in the evening, but professional photos and designer haven’t yet been released.

The canned cocktails debacle

I think all the listeners of the podcasts highly enjoyed what we thought was Jamie winding Sophie up about having canned cocktails at the wedding. But maybe he wasn’t as they did make an appearance and the night prior celebrations, supplied by MOTH Drinks. Jamie actually also reveals that he invested in the company for the wedding, and Sophie did admit that they were amazing and that after a conversation with the owners (who she loved) on a zoom she didn’t really want to attend, that she agreed to have them within some part of the celebrations.

the sten idea

The couple talked at length about having a STEN party – a combined hen and stag party. But this didn’t happen in the end which was revealed on the podcast, and spent their bachelor and bachelorette parties separately in Paris and Val D’Isere. Sophie also had a London hen party, attended by Olivia Bentley and Verity Bowditch.

officiant

You have most likely seen in the press, social media or on one of Jamie’s many podcasts, the ‘Spencer and Jamie fallout’, after Spencer was under the impression he was officiant at the wedding, but was actually the MC. Jamie did mention that Spencer was officiant on the podcast. He also asked his brother to be usher on the podcast, but that also didn’t transpire. Perhaps Jamie has a case of, asking and forgetting, like many brides do actually!! I often hear tales from my bride’s where they have drunkenly asked a friend to be bridesmaid, hoping they will forget the next day. Role reversal? We have seen the actually officiant in the videos and photos, but still unsure as to who they were and if they were a friend or family member, or a celebrant they hired.

catering

We meet the incredible caterer – Chef Tom Kerridge, who is based in Buckinghamshire on the podcast, where Jamie asked if Tom would cater their wedding. I did think this was strange as this is a big task catering in Spain when you are based in the UK, but it was also something that didn’t transpire, as on the day, their wedding was catered by GOYO Catering. But we would highly recommend Tom as a UK caterer!

accommodation – palm rock retreats

Jamie and Sophie stayed for a week prior to the wedding celebrations and also had their day 2 at Palm Rock Retreats, which actually offers wellness retreats, including healthy eating plans and personal training sessions. The owner was present on one of the final episodes of the nearlyweds podcast and did comment that they most likely wouldn’t host a wedding party again. We can’t imagine having saxophonists on the roof, as they did on the day 2, really fits with the vibe of a wellness retreat after all, but hopefully it helped to get their name out there for anyone looking for that kind of trip.

Day 2

This was debated for quite a few episodes due to cost, and I think if they went with the original venue they picked, which they decided to change due to being such a high cost, they maybe wouldn’t have had one. But the couple did comment that they felt bad for people travelling so far for it to be over in one day. They even put it to the viewers, who had mixed views, some saying people will want to do what they want to do, others saying to go for it. In the end, by looking at many stories on Instagram, there was a Day 2, which was hosted at Palm Rock Retreats, with entertainment from their wedding day band, including trumpeters and saxophonists. It looked a very informal affair, with the guests dressed down, and all there just to enjoy themselves. I also spotted a post from Jamie with many drinks in his hand at around 10pm, so I think it was still a late one!

personalised guest poems

This actually came from the ‘favours’ part of the podcast, when each week, Jamie and Sophie would read out an idea or a business in the wedding industry, which was really beneficial to so many wedding suppliers and a really lovely thing to do to help these businesses, one being Pinky Studio who create personalised poems for each of your guests. Sophie said how much she loved this and how she wanted to do this for their wedding. And it did transpire, which Is aw on some beautiful photos of the place settings from a few of the attendees, who then sat down to a lovely poem written for them.

guest numbers

It was talking about there being around 300 guests on the a few episodes of the podcasts, especially when Sophie was talking about how anxious she was for such a big event, and how Jamie just kept inviting more and more people. There was also a lot of drama about the invites, as they went out quite late and quite a few invitations didn’t make it to the guests. Looking at photos, and also mentioned in later episodes, it seems there were around 150 – 200 guests, so potentially a smaller affair than originally planned, which I am sure Sophie was happy about!

guest list

There were definitely some well known faces there, especially if you are an MIC fan, including recently married Ollie Locke, Ollie Proudlock, Emily Blackwell, Olivia Bentley, Ruby Adler and Melissa Tatum, who is Sophie’s podcast host on Wednesday’s We Drink Wine. Spencer Matthews, Jamie’s podcast 6 degrees co-host and best friend, was MC. Sam Thompson and his girlfriend Zara McDermott were also there and looking stunning, followed by a brilliant Instagram post from Sam, showing a clip from the old school (best) MIC days. Sam actually dated Sophie way back when, so when Jamie took Sophie on a date shortly after the split, they fell out, Sam exclaiming, “I wish you had gone and married the girl so at least it was for something”, followed by a clip of Sophie and Jamie then actually getting married, and Sam in the audience, emotional with happiness for them….LOVE!

aisle walk

Jamie hinted many times that he wanted to walk down the aisle, with music which was…er….controversial to say the least! From videos, it seems that it was just Sophie who made an entrance, on her dad’s arm, to the sounds of a string quartet, and without the Jurassic Park theme tune!

Music

It was discussed how important music is for the wedding day, and something I also emphasise to couples too. Jamie and Sophie walked into the song ‘September’ performed by their band for the wedding breakfast. You can see the guests dancing along, cheering, waving their napkins in the air (which I am sure was encouraged by MC Spencer Matthews!) which really just makes you feel amazing as a couple! If you don’t have music, there also ends up being a moment of silence when everyone takes their seats which isn’t great, so would highly recommend any couple to choose music, especially upbeat music, during this entrance. The evening entertainment was wedding party band ALR Music, based in London
