Guests at Apple heiress Eve Jobs and Harry Charles’s lavish Cotswolds nuptials carry on partying – as aerial shots show red carpet rolled out for VIP guests amid festivities

The descendants of tech royalty, billionaires and celebrities gathered in the Cotswolds this weekend to celebrate Apple heiress Eve Jobs, 27, and Olympian Harry Charles’, 26, lavish nuptials – and it appears the festivities carried into a ‘party’ mode towards the evening.

The couple tied the knot in front of high society friends and family, with images showing a red carpet laid out in preparation for the newlyweds’ four-day wedding that reportedly £5 million.

An aerial shot of preparations for the big night also showed large tents set up for guests to wine, dine, mingle and party the night away against the backdrop of the exclusive Estelle Manor in Oxfordshire.

The red carpet would see guests entering the area between large trees, up into a platform, before continuing down the red carpet to the main tented areas. An outdoor section draped in purple decorations could also be seen between two of the largest tents. 

Eve, the daughter of the late Apple CEO Steve Jobs and Laurene Powell, said ‘I do’ to equestrian gold medallist Harry during the ceremony at St Micheal’s and All Angels Church in Great Tew.

Parents of the bride and groom – Eve’s mother Laurene and Harry’s parents Peter and Tara – arrived in the picturesque village of Great Tew by private limousine. 

A stream of luxury minibuses dropped off guests at the church, which included star chef Baroness Ruth Rogers, Bill Gates‘ daughter Jessica, as well as Roman Abramovich‘s daughter Sofia. 

Bruce Springsteen‘s daughter, Jessica, was among nine bridesmaids who were dressed in startling red satin cocktail gowns, holding posies made of ferns, with groomsmen arriving just before them wearing flowers in their button holes.

The blushing bride arrived to the church via a private road, around half an hour late, at 6pm, and around 45 minutes later, wedding balls rang to signify the beginning of their marriage.

While most of the celebrity guests have kept a tight lid on the events, one attendee couldn’t resist sharing a sneak peek of the wedding details.

Kourtney Kardashian, who showed snaps of herself exploring the Cotswolds just hours before Eve and Harry’s wedding, posted two Instagram Stories to give her 217 million fans an idea of how the extremely wealthy like to party.

In one photo, the reality star showed her place name card during the wedding meal, which featured her name handwritten in pink and surrounded by green foliage motifs on a white card with a blue border.

In the background were colourful roses in the table setting , dishes that matched the place name card, and a cocktail featuring a wedge of lemon and a sprig of mint that Kourtney had been sipping on.

Colourful roses were clearly part of the floral theme for the nuptials, as another photo shared by the Poosh founder showed a large wedding cake decorated with dark pink, pale pink, yellow, red, and orange roses on a white tablecloth.

Behind the cake was yet another vase filled with multicoloured roses and green foliage.

Ahead of the wedding ceremony on Saturday July 26, St Michael’s and All Angels Church in Great Tew was a hive of activity, with up to 20 florists, set designers and security guards flitting around the 12th century structure.

Inside the church, roses were placed on the end of each of the pews, beech tree branches line the nave and 101 candles were placed on the alter and two £15,000 Persian rugs run along the aisle.

 

However, despite the huge amount of preparations, the happy couple are understood to have paid the standard £675 fee to be married at the Norman church.

The vicar, Canon William Burke, told MailOnline: ‘They paid a flat fee for the wedding. We are not allowed to charge more or less.’

He added: ‘I’ve done a lot these high society weddings, it’s nothing new to me.’

St Michael’s is one of the most beautiful venues in the Cotswolds and was the choice when film director Sam Mendes and classical musician Alison Balsom had their 2017 ceremony there.

Following the ceremony, Eve and Harry have taken over the luxury Estelle Manor, where rooms start at £795, for a week to continue their celebrations.

The Manor is renowned internationally as venue for huge weddings as its copious grounds can accommodated hundreds of guests.

According to The Times, a staff member said all 107 rooms in the manor hotel have been taken over by guests, while others are staying at Soho Farmhouse, a glamorous private members club beloved by A-list celebrities that played host to Meghan Markle’s hen do in 2018.

Eve, who once was named by society bible Tatler as one of its ‘new generation of It Girls‘, and sportsman Harry got engaged last September and began dating in 2022, making their debut just a year ago at the Paris Olympic Games.

On Thursday, the couple – joined by their groomsmen and bridesmaids – completed a final dress rehearsal at the church for a 90-minute run through.

The guestlist was a mixture of British sports stars, American politicians and even a sprinkling of royalty. 

Former US Vice President Kamala Harris was pictured at a pre-wedding evening in The Bull pub in Charlbury, which also reportedly included Bruce Springsteen’s equestrian daughter, Jessica.

Kamala’s attendance is thanks to her long-time friendship with Eve’s mother.

Laurene and Kamala have been friends for over 20 years, with the billionaire philanthropist backing Kamala’s run for US presidency last year, which she eventually lost to President Donald Trump. 

Believed to have joined them are celebs including Arctic Monkeys star Matt Helders, Apple designer Jony Ive, Sofia Abramovich, daughter of ex-Chelsea owner Roman and Bill Gates’ daughter Jennifer.

Sources close to the family previously said invites have gone out to figures from fashion, sport, and business, with Princess Beatrice and her husband Edo among the confirmed guests.

Brooklyn Peltz-Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, are understood to have attended the wedding, just a stones throw away from the Beckham family home in the Cotswolds.
