Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz Beckham tied the knot in April last year, and their wedding continues to be the talk of the town. With a combined net worth of around $60 million, the couple had a lavish wedding that is estimated to have cost around $3 million. They also had 500 guests, and went through not one, not two, but three wedding planners to ensure that everything went smoothly.
However, in a sour twist, Nicola’s 81-year-old billionaire businessman father Nelson Peltz filed a lawsuit against one of the wedding planners. According to documents obtained by the Daily Mail, Nelson claims that the planners Nicole Braghin and Arianna Grijalba of Plan Design Events did not have the ‘expertise’ to pull off a wedding of this ‘caliber’.
Nelson and his wife Claudia first contacted celebrity planner Preston Bailey, but parted ways with him six weeks out from the wedding. They then contacted Plan Design Events, only to part ways with them nine days in. Nelson ended up hiring Michelle Rago of Michelle Rago Destinations, who saw the job through.
Nelson referred to his daughter as a ‘world-famous actress’ in the lawsuit and went on to explain the fall out. He noted that the guest list included numerous celebrities, athletes, dignitaries and other influential individuals from all around the globe. He also said that the wedding planner must have had the expertise to plan, coordinate and execute a wedding event of the expected calibre and complexity.
Now, wedding planners Nicole Braghin and Arianna Grijalba are countersuing for breach of contract. They claim that Nelson was a ‘bully’ and announce that they had worked tirelessly trying to satisfy all the demands of the family.
Notably, Nicola will be deposed for an on-camera grilling in one month. Her deposition will be the first of the Peltz’s family’s on-the-record answers after Nelson’s May date was postponed in order to see if both sides could work it out through mediation. Nicola’s mother and father are reportedly listed as third-party defendants.
Prior to the pair’s wedding, New York publicist R Couri Hay described the bash as ‘Hollywood’s version’ of ‘Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’ in an interview with The Times. They said that ‘you’ve got the son of sports and fashion royalty marrying an American billionaire’s daughter, who also happens to be a beautiful actress’.
It remains to be seen how the lawsuit will pan out, and how the couple will fare in the upcoming on-camera grilling. All we can do is wait and see how this wedding drama unfolds.
