The luxurious celebration cost $4 million and was held at Disney World.
Bacardi heiress, 29-year-old Erica Vazquez-Bacardi married 32-year-old softball player Joey DePriest-Capparelli this week. Erica’s mother, Hilda, the great-great-granddaughter of Bacardi founder Don Facundo, did not stint and arranged a luxurious fairy-tale wedding for her daughter. People writes about it.
The wedding venue turned into a “fancy” forest and gathered 300 guests. The three-day wedding took place at Disney World in Orlando, Florida at the Four Seasons resort.
Celebrity wedding planner David Tootera and his team have transformed the Palm Resort’s ballroom into a “magic forest”. Everything was decorated in green and lilac tones. And the bridesmaids wore lavender dresses. The walls and banquet tables were decorated with bouquets of French tulips, delphiniums and roses. And stained glass windows decorated with wisteria served as a backdrop for the wedding ceremony.

Even the multi-tiered cake was decorated with lilac flowers and butterflies.
Erika walked down the aisle in a Galia Lahav dress. Previously, model Daphne Groenveld married in a dress from the same brand. And also Nastya Kamensky and Ksenia Sobchak. The outfits of this Israeli brand are very fond of Jennifer Lopez.
The guests were entertained by Grammy winner violinist Miri Ben Ari and Tony and Grammy nominee Shoshana.
After the ceremony, guests were treated to drinks and snacks: mini-bri with fig jam and almonds, new potatoes with sour cream and Wellington beef with red onion marmalade.
The meal was rounded off with mini desserts, macaroons and flower cupcakes. The wedding cake was created by celebrity pastry chef Rabia Saber, featuring vanilla and chocolate tiers with Bacardi and Crème Anglais.
And cocktails, of course, were prepared from Bacardi drinks.
One of the guests at the stunning wedding was popular YouTuber Zayn Hijazi, who said the wedding was reminiscent of the Coachella festival, with the dance floor lit up in such a way that it looked like the guests were dancing on the surface of a lake.

Recall that in 2016 the sales of Bacardi, the world’s largest private company for the production of spirits, amounted to about 4.6 billion dollars.
The company has been family owned for seven generations since it was founded in 1862 by Don Facundo Bacardi Masso in Santiago de Cuba. After 1960, when the revolutionary government confiscated all the company’s assets in Cuba without compensation, Bacardi continues to operate in four other countries: the United States, Mexico, Puerto Rico and the Bahamas, eventually opening companies in other countries. But the Art Deco headquarters building of the brand was and remains one of the most beautiful and largest in Havana.
The company also owns brands such as D’usse, Bombay, Cazadores and Gray Goose.
We will remind, earlier married another daughter of the Sultan of Brunei Hassanal Bolkiah. The cost of the celebration is unknown, but it was royally magnificent.
