When we think of celebrity weddings, the glitz and glamour don’t stop at the guest list or the designer gowns. It’s all about the location. And this year, there were a few weddings that completely stole the show. If you’re here for wedding inspo (or just dreaming of your future big day), you need to see how these celebrity weddings turned their nuptials into an epic destination experience.
The Wedding: Olivia Culpo & Christian McCaffrey
Destination: Ocean House, Watch Hill, Rhode Island
Olivia Culpo’s wedding to Christian McCaffrey was the epitome of East Coast elegance. The couple chose Ocean House in Rhode Island as the backdrop for their big day. The place has that New England charm, and ocean views so stunning that they practically come with their own Instagram filter.
Ocean House is a seaside masterpiece with a vintage vibe. Overlooking the Atlantic, the yellow clapboard building has all the coastal sophistication you could ask for — rolling lawns, ocean breezes, and perfect sunsets.
The Wedding: Millie Bobby Brown & Jake Bongiovi
Destination: Villa Cetinale, Sienna, Italy
Millie Bobby Brown didn’t just have a wedding; she had a Tuscany moment. Her big day with Jake Bongiovi took place at Villa Cetinale, a 17th-century estate tucked away in the rolling hills of Tuscany. The venue gives off major “romantic countryside” vibes — perfect for a couple who wants to keep things intimate, but still flex some serious luxury.
Millie’s wedding had that low-key-but-lux feeling that we’ve all come to expect from her style. The venue (which dates back to the 1600s) exuded elegance, without being over-the-top. Millie and Jake’s ceremony was perfectly framed by the villa’s lush greenery and old-school Italian charm.
The Wedding: Jordana Jacobs & Josh Radnor
Destination: Cedar Lakes Estates, Hudson Valley, New York
2024 was the year when our dearest Ted Mosby found his lady love. Actor Josh Radnor and psychologist Jordana Jacobs kept it classic-yet-contemporary, with a serene wedding at Cedar Lakes Estates in Hudson Valley, New York. The rolling green hills, charming barns, and a dreamy lakeside backdrop were the ultimate nature-inspired escape. Josh’s choice of venue for his big day echoes the hopelessly romantic Ted Mosby. Hudson Valley is peak cottages core, with a side of luxury — perfect for someone who loves the outdoors, but also wants their big day to feel timeless.
The Wedding: Radhika Merchant & Anant Ambani
Destination: Jio World Convention Center, Mumbai, India
A half-a-million-dollar wedding demands an equally opulent venue. Business magnate Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant went all out with a regal wedding in Mumbai, India. Their lavish ceremony was held at the world-class Jio World Convention Centre. With a guestlist that included everyone from Mark Zuckerberg to Kim Kardashian, this wedding was a cultural extravaganza. For a couple who celebrate the amalgamation of love and tradition, Mumbai was the perfect destination.
The Wedding: Alexandra Cooper & Max Kaplan
Destination: Riviera Maya, Mexico
Podcast mogul Alexandra Cooper and Hollywood producer Max Kaplan took their love south of the border to the sunny shores of Riviera Maya. The Mexican coastline offered powdery sands, turquoise waters, and an unbeatable tropical vibe. If you also plan to keep your big day chic but still bring the vibes, we suggest you take a trip to this tropical paradise.
The Wedding: Annie Clark & Luke Karaim
Destination: Casa Loma, Toronto
The Degrassi star Annie Clark and former hockey player Luke Karaim had an intimate ceremony earlier this year at Casa Loma in Toronto. Their venue is basically Hogwarts-meets-Bridgerton in real life, making it a dreamy spot for a classy-yet-unconventional wedding. His Gothic Revival castle boasts dramatic towers, sprawling gardens, and a vibe straight out of a romantic period drama. Oh, and let’s not forget the panoramic views of Toronto’s skyline — a perfect mix of historic charm and modern city vibes.
