An unforgettable Castelmola takeover to kick off the wedding weekend! Speeches by George Danko, Brian Vickers, Sasha Jensen, Irene Hukkelhoven & Kyle Danko, music by Kevin De Roos with a surprise drop-in from Justin Danko, plus endless wine, authentic Sicilian food, opera, sax, traditional dances, and a marching band. A night of pure magic under the stars!

In the enchanting gardens of the Four Seasons Taormina, surrounded by cherished friends and family, Ellen & Justin united in a moment of pure love. With heartfelt words from Bob Pittman, wise blessings from George Danko & Mathais Hukkelhoven, and beautiful music from Van Anh, Mark, and Regian Derry, this ceremony was everything we dreamed and more.

A night for the ages: guests feasted in ancient cloisters with favorite wines, heartfelt toasts by Mathais Hukkelhoven, Sloan Simpson, and Conor Sutherland, and Nico Orchestra Quartet setting the mood. Then, the ballroom transformed into the fiery heart of Mount Etna under a cosmic sky where Double Touch & Regian lit up the dance floor. With espresso martinis flowing, 'Till Death Do Us Party' became our rallying cry as we danced the night away!

On the final day, spirit animals roamed free as we paraded through the streets of Taormina, each guest embodying their inner beast. In the ancient amphitheater, beneath the fiery breath of Mount Etna, a unicorn and penguin were wed by unicorn-in-chief Gary Mueller, with Nico Orchestra and Nuart Entertainment weaving Ellen & Justin’s love story into magic. Then, the wild pack descended on Morgana, where Vanjee’s beats unleashed our primal souls, dancing ferociously until dawn.

Our community made the magic possible—endless gratitude to everyone who joined us. Enjoy these unforgettable portraits, captured by our incredible photographer throughout the weekend.

From unforgettable speeches to dance-floor moves, these legends brought our celebration to life! Meet the friends and family who made every moment memorable.
