Mario Carbone has spent years building restaurants that people plan trips around, so when it came time for his own wedding, he clearly wasn’t going to cut corners. He and brand strategist Cait Bailey got married at The Grill and The Pool inside New York’s historic Seagram Building, surrounded by a guest list that included Lea Michele, Ashley Graham, Ashley Benson, Alix Earle, and Dixie D’Amelio. Actress Shay Mitchell, who first introduced the couple back in 2018, was there to toast them.
The entertainment lineup kept the night moving. Benson Boone serenaded the newlyweds with hits including“Beautiful Things,”Jessie Murph took the stage, and Sofi Tukker handled DJ duties. Guests worked their way through seafood and dessert stations, plenty of pasta, and a nine-tiered wedding cake before the celebration rolled on to Lobster Club, where the party kept going past 1 A.M. The couple got engaged on July 14, 2024, in Capri, Italy, so a grand New York finish feels fitting.
Strip away the famous names and the landmark venue, and it’s the same story plenty of us know by heart: two people brought together by a good friend, saying yes in front of everyone who matters. That’s the part worth celebrating. So tell us, who was the matchmaker behind your love story?
