LeBron James, the NBA’s top-scoring player, and his longtime partner, Savannah Brinson, were all smiles as they departed San Diego’s Grand Del Mar hotel following their extravagant wedding. This beloved couple, who shares two children, radiated joy despite celebrating their nuptials over three days.
Savannah, the newlywed bride, continued to embrace the bridal theme, wearing a lace strapless jumpsuit with her hair cascading in curls. In contrast, her husband sported sneakers and a clean white T-shirt, maintaining his signature laid-back style. The sweethearts, who have been together since high school, sealed their love in the Capella Chapel of the Grand Del Mar hotel at 4:30 p.m. on a Saturday, marking a monumental moment in their enduring relationship.
The celebration kicked off with Friday’s barbecue, attended by notable figures like LeBron’s colleague Dwayne Wade, Beyoncé, Jay-Z, NBA players Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul, as well as Wade’s girlfriend Gabrielle Union. An aura of opulence surrounded the event at the exclusive Grand Del Mar hotel and resort in San Diego, with non-disclosure agreements signed by hotel staff and attendees. The grand marquee set up outside the venue was a clear indication of the event’s magnitude.
The wedding was masterfully orchestrated by celebrity wedding planner Preston Bailey, known for planning internet billionaire Sean Parker’s extravagant “Lord of the Rings”-themed wedding in June. While the couple had expected a slightly less extravagant celebration, King James’ birthday led to a guest list reduction to ensure a more intimate gathering, with a few hundred attendees.
The wedding weekend commenced with cocktails, dinner, and dancing, with the revelry continuing into an after-party in a separate part of the resort. The wedding even accommodated the Jewish Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur, falling on the same day. In addition to LeBron James and Savannah Brinson’s presence, their two children were featured on “save the weekend” cards sent to guests in March. The radiant bride showcased her wedding ring outside the Grand Del Mar hotel. The happy couple’s families also joined in the celebrations, with LeBron’s mother, Gloria, attending with her boyfriend Da Real Lambo, a flamboyant rapper who chronicled their European adventures on Instagram.
Notable attendees included LeBron’s longtime manager Maverick Carter, La La Anthony, the wife of the New York Knicks, Pat Riley, president of the Miami Heat, and head coach Erik Spoelstra. The couple, who have been together since their high school days, now reside in a sprawling $9 million estate in Coconut Grove, Miami, with their two sons, LeBron Jr. and Bryce.
Savannah Brinson, who had previously shied away from the spotlight during LeBron’s career, has begun to engage with the media more frequently, using her influence for philanthropic endeavors. In April, she donated prom dresses to approximately 100 underprivileged girls in both Akron, Ohio, and Miami.
LeBron James has been incredibly supportive of his new bride, encouraging her to explore the world and utilize her powerful voice. Savannah Brinson expressed her desire to empower young, underprivileged women and serve as a role model, even if it means stepping out of her husband’s shadow. This joyful celebration of love marks the beginning of an exciting chapter in the lives of LeBron James and Savannah Brinson.
