The couple exchanged vows surrounded by their closest friends, family and a star-studded guest list.

Behind Closed Doors: The Private Affair

From the beginning, the wedding was shrouded in secrecy. Guests were reportedly ferried in via shuttles, and large white marquees were erected to shield the ceremony from prying eyes. The ceremony took place at Sea Crest Nursery in Santa Barbara in front of about 170 people, a carefully curated guest list to balance intimacy and celebration.

The weekend kicked off with a rehearsal dinner in Hope Ranch, in a private mansion tucked into the foothills, setting a quietly luxurious tone for the days ahead.

Their Story & Shared Journey

Selena and Benny’s collaboration is longstanding. They first worked together musically over a decade ago, and their professional partnership blossomed into romance. They publicly confirmed their relationship in 2023 and became engaged in December 2024.

What’s most striking about this wedding is how they managed to blend spectacle with heart. Even with a glamorous guest list, the couple kept things grounded. The use of private venues, careful logistics, and a clear focus on what mattered meant that the event didn’t get lost in celebrity noise.

For Selena, a public figure who’s had her life under the microscope for years, this moment must have felt both liberating and deeply personal. And for Benny, who’s often worked behind the scenes, stepping into the spotlight for this celebration must have felt especially meaningful.
