Andy Lee and Rebecca Harding's New York Wedding

Andy Lee married Rebecca Harding on Tuesday 13 October 2026 in New York. The ceremony took place on the rooftop of the Nine Orchard hotel in Manhattan. Harding wore a strapless Steven Khalil gown. About 80 guests attended, with Hamish Blake as best man.

It is one of all of 2026’s celebrity weddings on our list. Lee is an Australian comedian and radio host, and the couple had been together for 12 years. Here is what was reported, what UK couples can borrow, and what we still do not know.

Why some reports say Wednesday

Harding’s Instagram caption read “JUST MARRIED – 13.10.26”. Australian outlets said the couple married on a Wednesday. News Beep explains the gap: the ceremony was on Tuesday in New York, which was Wednesday in Australia. We use 13 October, the date the couple gave.

The venues: a tour of the couple’s New York

Harding told Vogue Australia: “We love New York and have so many happy memories here.” She added that “it felt right to really lean into it.” The weekend moved between several of their favourite places.

Welcome drinks were held the day before at Bemelmans Bar in The Carlyle, on the Upper East Side. The bar is known for its painted murals. The Nightly says those murals inspired the playing cards given to guests.

The ceremony took place on the Nine Orchard rooftop. The couple named the hotel on social media, according to The Nightly. Mamamia says they had stayed there before and loved it. News Beep reported vows between 5pm and 7pm.

The reception was at Chinese Tuxedo in Chinatown. The couple entered the dining room to Frank Sinatra’s “New York, New York”. The next morning, guests met for breakfast at Old Mates, an Australian-style pub that Lee co-owns.

The outfits: two Steven Khalil gowns

Harding wore a strapless white satin gown by the Australian designer Steven Khalil. Mamamia describes a corset-style bodice with a bow at the waist and a dramatic train. She wore a veil, simple diamond earrings and her hair half up. Marie Claire also noted a tulle petticoat.

Mamamia reports that she tried the dress on “for fun” at her first fitting. It became the one she chose. She changed into a second Steven Khalil dress for the reception.

For the welcome drinks, she wore a 1970s cream set by Anna Molinari. Her grandmother’s sapphire ring, reset as a pendant, was tied to her bouquet.

Lee wore a custom suit by the Australian tailor P Johnson, with black Jimmy Choo shoes. Asked on the Hamish & Andy podcast for any gripes, Harding said he was “terrible at picking up the dress.”

The guests and the small details

Hamish Blake, Lee’s radio partner, was best man. Lee’s brother Cam and Michael “Horgs” Horgan were groomsmen. Named guests included Zoë Foster Blake, Lauren Phillips and Paul O’Brien. Hugh Jackman told reporters the next morning that it was “awesome.”

Guests found gifts in their hotel rooms. These included a Yankees cap embroidered with the wedding date, playing cards and matchboxes. At dinner, the couple played a game called “Surprise, Surprise, Speech.” Guests whose number was drawn had to give a speech on the spot.

Lee’s vows included this line: “it is compulsory to grow old, but optional to grow up.” He also said Harding was late to the aisle: “it was perfectly Bec.”

What UK couples can borrow

Use your own favourite places. Lee and Harding used a hotel, a bar and a restaurant they already loved. A UK city wedding can work the same way. Book a register office or licensed hotel, then move to a restaurant you know.

Ask about roof terraces early. Rooftop spaces often have weather backups and guest limits. Ask the venue what happens if it rains, and check where guests will stand.

Keep the list near 80. A smaller list made a multi-venue weekend possible. It also suits restaurants with private dining rooms, which often cap numbers.

Give useful gifts. A cap or playing cards linked to the place felt personal. A local food item or a map of your venues could do the same.

Try a speech game, carefully. Surprise speeches are fun for close friends. Warn your guests that it might happen, and keep them short.

What we do not know

The couple have not named an officiant or described the menu. Reports differ on the after-party. Mamamia names Opera House, a bar beneath Chinese Tuxedo. News Beep reported a late night at Apotheke in Chinatown. No honeymoon has been reported. We will update this page if the couple share more.
