Nicola Peltz’s dad defends wedding behaviour as ‘gracious’ in new court documents

03/10/2023

It's well known that weddings can be difficult to organise, but the preparations for Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham's big day were on a whole new level.

Nicola, 28, married Brooklyn, 23, in a three-day $3.5 million (£2.9 million) star-studded extravaganza in April 2022, which took place at her billionaire father Nelson's £79m Palm Beach estate.

Earlier this year, it was revealed that Nelson has filed a lawsuit against wedding planners Nicole Braghin and Arianna Grijalba, after they allegedly refused to return his $159,000 (£132k) deposit when they were fired after having been deemed unable to handle the event’s VIP guestlist just weeks prior to the extravagant wedding.


In response to the lawsuit, Nicole and Arianna are suing Nicola, her mother Claudia and wedding designer Rishi Patel for damages of at least £41,000.

In new court documents, Nelson is hoping to remove his wife and daughter's names from the counter complaint made by the wedding planners, which made numerous claims about his daughter.

The document, obtained by HELLO!, defend the bride by saying: “Nicola was gracious and patient in her interactions with the wedding planners that her father purportedly hired.”

Nelson contacted Nicole and Arianna through their firm, Plan Design Events, back in March 2022, after they decided to get rid of their first planner, Preston Bailey.

The two women allege that they worked 17-hour days during the three-day $3.5 million (£2.9 million) showbiz wedding.

Previous court documents from the lawsuit include text messages between Nicola and the wedding planners, which were used by the Peltz family as evidence for the wedding planners being unable to handle a wedding on the Beckham-Peltz couple's grand scale.

One message saw the Transformers actress malign the planners, telling them she was "tired of catching" their numerous mistakes.

In an exchange about F1 star Lewis Hamilton, Nicola says that the planners had him down as attending the nuptials, despite the fact he had RSVP'd "no" and had told the couple he'd be unable to attend.

The messages from Nicola read: "Lewis Hamilton did NOT RSVP. So explain why his names on the list please. We spoke to him, he can't come so explain why you said he rsvpd yes."

Other claims from the lawsuit documents include allegations that Nicola and Claudia wanted to keep Victoria Beckham in the dark about the wedding 'errors'.

The court file stated: “Both Claudia and Nicola had insisted that Victoria Beckham could not know about any internal mistakes regarding the ongoing planning of her son’s wedding, including any errors with the guest list.”
