Anne Burrell and Stuart Claxton commemorated their union with a star-studded wedding at Windridge Estate in Cazenovia, New York on October 16, 2021. This charming New York village holds special significance for Anne, serving as both her hometown and the location of their engagement. Anne, a celebrated culinary artist and co-host of Worst Cooks in America on Food Network, was joined by her spouse Stuart, who excels in the realm of advertising at Univision. Notable guests included culinary personalities Alex Guarnaschelli, Jeff Mauro, and Marc Murphy, and the television star Jenni Farley, known for her role in "Jersey Shore".

The bride, in a display of exquisite taste, selected the first wedding dress she tried on, a magnificent creation by Carolina Herrera. The groom and his attendants sported classic black tuxedos, a complement to their Ralph Lauren Purple Label outfits. Notably, the groomsmen chose to accessorize with stylish orange Nike high-top sneakers. The bridesmaids, including Anne's sister and fellow culinary celebrity Rachael Ray, wore coordinating burnt orange garments.

Tented Ceremony

Arriving in a horse-drawn carriage, the bride joined her awaiting guests for a ceremony set amidst the beautiful grounds of Windridge Estate. The ceremony was a captivating display, reflective of the couple's joyous and dynamic spirit.

The Gourmet Reception

The reception was hosted within the expansive Redbarn 20, a stunning barn on the Windridge Estate property. Tables were exquisitely adorned with autumnal floral arrangements from Whistlestop Florist, featuring an array of herbs, vegetables, and vibrant fall foliage. After the celebration, the fresh produce was generously donated to a local food bank.

Complementing the stunning aesthetic, the menu, a culinary masterpiece designed by Diamond Catering, was painstakingly developed over many months by Anne.

"Appetizers included a delightful roasted cauliflower steak, paired with a creamy cauliflower purée and crispy potato shoestrings with crème fraîche, and served alongside caviar. The pasta course presented a delicate dish of goat cheese and pumpkin ravioli in a rich sage butter sauce, enhanced by frizzled brussels sprouts leaves, toasted pumpkin seeds, and pumpkin seed oil. The main course offered a choice of braised short ribs with celery root and parsnip purée, or herb and potato-crusted halibut resting on a bed of spaghetti squash with Tuscan kale and pistachio pesto."

Buddy Valastro, the celebrated star of The Cake Boss, delighted guests with a remarkable cake. The unique confection consisted of halves; one side showcased a rich zucchini-cake, and the other presented a beautiful blend of olive oil, lemon, and rosemary.

The couple's first dance, a carefully choreographed performance set to "On Top of the World" by Imagine Dragons, was followed by an exhilarating balloon drop, signifying the start of the reception's dance party.

The wedding's meticulous planning was entrusted to Megan Hiltbrand of MLH Events, and the images of the day were captured by Kerri Lynne Weddings.
