Olympic swimming champion Adam Peaty and television personality Holly Ramsay have tied the knot in a lavish ceremony at Bath Abbey, followed by a luxurious reception at a Georgian manor house. The star-studded event, however, unfolded against the backdrop of a highly publicised family fallout that saw most of the groom's close relatives absent.
A Lavish Celebration Amidst Family Tensions
The couple exchanged vows on Saturday afternoon at the historic abbey, with the bride arriving alongside her father, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay. The newlyweds were declared man and wife and departed at around 1.30pm to a joyful peal of the abbey bells. Their reception was held at the exclusive Kin House, a Georgian manor located 17 miles away near Chippenham, Wiltshire.
Despite the joyous occasion, a shadow was cast by the absence of Peaty's family. In the days leading up to the wedding, his mother, Caroline Peaty, revealed her heartbreak, stating the fallout felt like "they have cut my heart out". She expressed that while she wanted her son to be happy, she believed "family should have been the priority at that wedding". The only member of his immediate family in attendance was his sister, Bethany, who joined Holly's sisters Tilly and Megan as part of the bridal party.
Star-Studded Guests and a Sumptuous Feast
The guest list was a who's who of celebrities and notable figures, ensuring the day remained a glittering affair. Among the attendees were David and Victoria Beckham and broadcaster Dan Walker. Given Gordon Ramsay's influence, several famous chefs were also present.
Behind the scenes, a team of talented culinary experts worked to prepare a top-quality wedding banquet for the esteemed guests. The luxurious menu featured:
- Prawn cocktail to start
- Beef Wellington and pan-roasted halibut for the main course
- A classic tarte tatin for dessert
A traditional wedding cake was served later in the evening at 8pm, according to reports.
The Exclusive Venue: Kin House
The celebrations continued long into the night at the opulent Kin House. This exclusive venue boasts extensive grounds and premium amenities, including:
- A secret stage for entertainment
- A private swimming pool
- Expansive 10-acre gardens
- A dedicated dressing room complete with hair-washing stations and a barber for pre-party preparations
The Georgian manor provided a fittingly grand and private setting for the newlyweds and their guests to celebrate, away from the public eye and the media scrutiny surrounding the family dispute.
While the day was marked by both spectacular celebration and personal difficulty, Adam Peaty and Holly Ramsay focused on their union, surrounded by famous friends and indulging in a wedding fit for culinary royalty. The event underscored the blend of high-profile glamour and complex personal dynamics that often characterise celebrity weddings.
