April 9 marked a milestone in celebrity weddings, marking a moment that rivaled the fanfare seen at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s 2018 ceremony. The event brought together Brooklyn Beckham, now 23, and Nicola Peltz, 27, the son of football legend David Beckham and the daughter of American entrepreneur Nelson Peltz, for a high-profile wedding in Palm Springs, Florida.
The couple had initially planned to wed in September 2021 but postponed the ceremony because of the pandemic. By January 2022 it was confirmed that the nuptials would take place on April 9 at the Peltz family estate in Palm Springs. The venue, a Regency-style mansion perched on the outskirts of Palm Beach, spans a vast area and has become synonymous with lavish celebrations.
Just a week before the ceremony, Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz formalized their union with a marriage agreement. The Beckhams hold a combined fortune of around half a billion dollars, while the Peltzes are estimated to be worth several times that sum, underscoring the financial scale of the event.
The magnitude of the guest list was highlighted by security arrangements reported by a major British tabloid, pointing to a lineup of stars and close friends who would be present at the celebration. Among the attendees are supermodel Gigi Hadid, chef Gordon Ramsay and his family, Eva Longoria, a close confidante of Victoria Beckham, and the godmother to Nicola, Elizabeth Hurley. The guest list also included royal connections, with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle anticipated to be in attendance. Elton John, the groom’s godfather, faced a scheduling conflict and could not attend due to touring commitments.
Other Hollywood figures confirmed to attend include Stanley Tucci, Mark Wahlberg, and Emma Roberts, who were set to share the stage with the bride’s circle of friends and family. The dress code and wardrobe choices also drew attention, with Valentino reported as the designer responsible for Nicola Peltz’s wedding gown. The gown is described as a significant investment, reflecting the high-end couture chosen for the event. Additional participants in the ceremony, from the groom’s side to the bride’s entourage, wore ensembles from the same fashion house to maintain a cohesive aesthetic. The parents, David and Victoria Beckham and Nelson and Claudia Peltz, were also part of the carefully choreographed display of style and prestige.
The ceremony was planned to unfold in a way steeped in Jewish tradition. Brooklyn Beckham noted that the bride would wear a kippah, a nod to a long-standing custom, with exclusive access secured for wedding coverage. A marquee-style tent, or chuppah, was erected for the couple’s vows, and a rabbi officiated as parts of the ceremony were finalized. The traditional moment of breaking a glass completed the ritual, symbolizing the solemnity and joy of the union.
Local observers reported seeing three large pavilions erected on the estate grounds to host the ceremony, along with delivery vans from a renowned French chef known for his refined, European-inspired fare. The preparations were described as a culinary showcase that would pair elegant touches with romantic flavors, signaling a menu designed to delight a sophisticated guest list.
Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz first crossed paths at a fall 2019 Halloween gathering. Their relationship quickly grew, and the pair traveled together for their first trip in December of that year. By January 2020, both families had been introduced, and six months later Brooklyn proposed, presenting Nicola with a diamond ring valued in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. The couple shared the engagement across their social feeds, accompanied by affectionate messages that underscored their mutual devotion. Nicola expressed how happiness had found her alongside Brooklyn, and she welcomed the chance to grow their life together with him by her side. Brooklyn likewise conveyed his gratitude and love, celebrating the moment with future hopes for their family and shared happiness. The public posts reflected the excitement and warmth surrounding the announcement, providing a glimpse into the couple’s journey from courtship to commitment.
