Inside Dani Dyer's lavish wedding to footballer Jarrod Bowen at £500-a-night exclusive hotel

Dani Dyer and Jarrod Bowen tied the knot in a beautiful, intimate ceremony surrounded by their closest friends and family over the weekend.

The couple, both 28, got engaged in July 2024 during a romantic trip to Ibiza, and after three years of dating, they were ready to say “I do.”

Their twin daughters, Summer and Star, two, were on hand to carry out their flower girls duties, while Dani's four-year-old son Santiago and her brother Arty, 11, took on the roles of page boys.

Dani shared a sneak peek of the special day with her 3.3 million Instagram followers, posting a picture of herself holding hands with her new husband as they walked down the aisle.

The Love Island star looked stunning in a £10,000 off-the-shoulder Suzanne Neville gown, while Jarrod opted for a sleek three-piece black suit for the outdoor ceremony.

In another photo, the newlyweds shared a sweet kiss, set against a backdrop of white floral arrangements that matched Dani's elegant dress.

Captioning the post “The Bowen’s” with a white heart emoji, the couple received congratulations from famous friends and family, including Dani’s dad, Danny Dyer, who shared the post to his Instagram stories.

The celebration took place at the £500-a-night Langley Hotel in Buckinghamshire, a stunning venue known for its 150 acres of landscaped gardens. The venue has hosted big names in the past, including Angelina Jolie and Tom Cruise, adding to the couple’s star-studded affair.

An onlooker told the Mirror: “The marquee is the biggest I’ve ever seen. I’ve never seen anything like it – and we’ve had Sheikhs get married here.

“They spent days building it. ‘It’s all been very civilised so far, but we’ll see if that continues as the night goes on.

“They’ve had Angelina Jolie stay and Tom Cruise landing in his helicopter. Jeff Goldblum also stayed here for months while filming a Jurassic Park film at nearby Pinewood Studios.”

According to MailOnline, Dani’s younger sister, singer Sunnie, 18, delivered an emotional speech, quoting a poem from the famous Sex and The City wedding scene.

It reads: “His hello was the end of her endings. Her laugh was their first step down the aisle. His hand would be hers to hold forever.

“His forever was as simple as her smile. He said she was what was missing. She said instantly she knew. She was a question to be answered. And his answer was 'I do'.”

According to The Sun, the ceremony was intimate, with only 50 close friends and family members attending.

In an emotional video shared by Bowen on Instagram, Danny could be seen looking choked up when he first saw Dani in her wedding dress at her bridal suite, before proudly walking his daughter down the aisle.

The Rivals actor, 47, also comforted Bowen, who wiped away tears watching Dani reach the altar, before sitting in the front row and crying himself as the couple exchanged their vows.

Another clip showed Danny giving an animated speech to the guests, something he had reportedly promised Dani he wouldn’t make too “outrageous”.

The father-daughter duo were later seen sharing a sweet first dance in front of the guests, smiling as they spun round in the middle of the room.

Dani called the wedding “the best day of my entire life,” on her social media and added that it was: “A day that I will want to re-live forever.”

Before the wedding, Dani enjoyed a lively hen do in Ibiza, while Jarrod celebrated his stag do in Las Vegas.
