Hey, Upper East Siders — Chuck Bass is off the market. Last August, Ed Westwick tied the knot with actress Amy Jackson. As their first anniversary approaches, here’s a look back at the couple’s three-day Italian extravaganza.
Location
Chuck Bass may have enjoyed hanging out on the steps of the Met, but Ed Westwick and Amy Jackson much prefer Italy. After previously exchanging vows in an intimate London ceremony, the couple celebrated their nuptials in one of the most romantic locations on Earth — Italy’s Amalfi Coast. The three-day affair had it all. A sunset cruise past quaint Amalfi towns, a reception fit for royals in a 16th century castle, and a beachy brunch cliffside. No biggie.
The Guest List
One thing is for sure: people love love. This was true for the 220 of Westwick and Jackson’s closest friends and family that jet-set into Italy from the US, Europe, and India to revel in the couple’s love story. Among the guests were Westwick’s former Gossip Girl co-star Kelly Rutherford, model and actress Daisy Lowe, comedian and actor Jack Whitehall, film producer Mohammed Al Turki and cosmetics mogul Dr. Barbara Sturm.
Three Days of Celebrating
Why limit a wedding to one day, when you can galavant around the sun-soaked Amalfi coast for three days of pure bliss? Ed Westwick and Amy Jackson certainly embraced a “more is more” mentality for their big day — or, days. The festivities began on August 23, 2024 with a sunset cruise. They drifted along the coastlines of Ravello, Positano and Sorrento before anchoring in Capri for the main event: a liquid gold sunset behind the Faraglioni rocks. The vibe of the welcome cruise? Capri’s golden era. Think chic blue and white decor, live Italian music, bubbling Bellinis and Michelin-starred Neapolitan cuisine. All set against a backdrop of sea mist and pure golden hour energy.
On August 24, guests flocked to, where else — a historic castle, for the reception. Castello di Rocca Cilento is something out of a dream. Perched in the hills along the Amalfi Coast, the 16th century castle boasts old world charm, royal romance, and jaw-dropping views as far as the eye can see. The venue was a vision in florals as the couple filled the space with roses and white cherry trees — a nod to the garden at their home in the English countryside. Naturally, the food was luxurious, local, and truly Italian. The feast began with apertivo from multiple live cooking stations, continued with a pasta primi course and ended with snapper with scampi and clam guazzetto sauce. Is your mouth watering yet?
After the evening’s festivities, the whirlwind weekend concluded on August 25 with brunch at the Giardini del Fuente Beach Club. Here, it was all about R&R. The guests indulged in a family-style meal beneath lemon trees, lounged by the pool (decked out with “Westwick wedding” floats), and enjoyed live musical performances against the gently crashing waves.
