Selena Gomez Taps A-List Wedding Planners: The Team Behind Justin Bieber's Big Day!
SELena Gomez's Secretive Wedding Exposed: Celeb-Approved Event Planners Reveal All
In a shocking turn of events, Selena Gomez has tied the knot with her long-time beau, Benny Blanco (whose full name is Benjamin Joseph Levin), in an exclusive and star-studded weekend-long ceremony in California. The wedding, which took place on a secluded 17-acre estate in Goleta, north of Santa Barbara, was the epitome of luxury and extravagance.
According to sources close to the couple, Gomez and Blanco hired none other than the renowned event planners, Mindy Weiss and Revelry Event Designers, who have worked with some of Hollywood's biggest names. The same team that orchestrated Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber's South Carolina wedding almost exactly six years ago was behind the scenes at Gomez's special day.
Weiss, known for her A-list client list, has a reputation for delivering unforgettable events. Her team has worked with celebrities like Taylor Swift (who attended Gomez's wedding), Demi Lovato, Justin Bieber, Hailey Bieber, Kylie Jenner, and the Kardashians, among many others. Revelry Event Designers' impressive portfolio includes designing the Roc Nation Brunch events in 2019, 2020, and 2023, which were attended by Beyoncé and Jay-Z.
Gomez's wedding was a weekend-long celebration that kicked off with a Friday night rehearsal feast, followed by the main ceremony on Saturday. The exclusive guest list boasted over 300 A-listers, including Taylor Swift, Paris Hilton, Martin Short, Steve Martin, and Paul Rudd. Hotel heiress Paris Hilton and Gomez's Only Murders in the Building co-stars were among those who stayed at the swanky El Encanto luxury spa resort in Santa Barbara.
Sources reveal that the couple spent a whopping $300,000 to ensure the safety and privacy of their celebrity guests. The private property was tented and protected by hefty security, while large marquees popped up in scenic fields a day prior to the celebrations.
The main ceremony took place in a secluded garden setting within the estate, with several white marquees set amid palm trees and cycads. Strings of fairy lights adorned the tents, creating an enchanting ambiance for the star-studded event. A post-wedding show featuring Snoop Dogg was reportedly set up, further adding to the excitement.
Meryl Streep, who was a scheduled guest, unfortunately had to skip out on the wedding. However, the Rare Beauty founder had previously joked that "Marty's the ring bearer," hinting at the presence of her Only Murders in the Building co-star, Steve Martin.
As for the venue itself, sources reveal that the 17-acre estate was rented by the couple for an undisclosed sum. The El Encanto luxury spa resort, where many guests stayed, starts at a staggering $1,000-per-night and was sold out for the weekend. The exclusive property is owned by Tinder co-founder Justin Mateen.
Gomez's wedding marks a new chapter in her life, following years of speculation about her relationship status with Blanco. The couple's love story has been shrouded in secrecy, but one thing is certain – their big day was an unforgettable celebration of love and luxury.
