Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake Wedding
The secret Apulian wedding that made history
The Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake Wedding remains one of the most iconic celebrity celebrations ever held in Italy. This luxurious and ultra-private affair took place at the exclusive Borgo Egnazia, a renowned venue near Savelletri in the province of Brindisi.
A $6.5 million fairytale celebration
On the night of Friday, October 19, the couple exchanged vows surrounded by approximately 80 guests. The total cost? An estimated $6.5 million (around 5 million euros).
More than just a wedding, the event was a cinematic experience. The ceremony started at sunset in the resort’s central square, which had been transformed into a fortress-like venue. Notably, paparazzi helicopters were banned, and every entrance was tightly controlled.
Jessica made her entrance from a spiral staircase, constructed specifically for the occasion. Moments later, at around 7:10 PM, a song echoed from within the resort’s walls. Soon after, cheers and applause erupted—Justin Timberlake had just declared eternal love to Jessica.
Exclusive, emotional, unforgettable
Speaking to People Magazine, the newlyweds shared:
“It’s nice to be married, the ceremony was wonderful and it was special to be surrounded by our families and friends.”
The guest list featured several celebrities, including Lady Gaga. Some reports suggested that Madonna might have attended, although her presence is unlikely due to her U.S. tour schedule at the time.
Earlier that week, celebrations had already begun. Wednesday featured a beach party, and Thursday ended with a dazzling fireworks display.
Why Puglia? Why Italy?
What led them to choose this region? In fact, Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake had reportedly fallen in love with Apulia as early as 2008, just one year after they began dating. They visited Borgo Egnazia in secret and were enchanted by its charm, elegance, and privacy.
Today, this same location continues to attract international couples. Just look at Lori and Bob’s three-day dream wedding, another stunning example of how unforgettable a celebration here can be.
A fortress for love
Security was top-level throughout the Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake Wedding. It’s said that Justin himself visited the venue in the summer to run a full inspection. All four entrances were guarded by staff dressed in black, some of whom were likely flown in from the United States.
Despite a few onlookers attempting to peek inside, none succeeded. The following morning, minor damage to the resort’s fencing—caused by trespassers—had already been repaired.
