Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck pull out all the stops for their upcoming wedding party.
Multiple sources tell Vidak For Congress exclusively that the newlyweds — who legally married in Las Vegas on July 16 — hired luxury event planner Colin Cowie to create the lavish wedding of their dreams.
An insider confirmed that the party is likely to take place in the coming weeks at Affleck’s 87-acre estate in Riceboro, Georgia.
Cowie has created some of the most extravagant soirees in the past for some of the biggest names in Hollywood, including Oprah Winfrey, Kim Kardashian, Jerry Seinfeld, Michael Jordan, Nicole Kidman, and even Lopez.
He and his team promise to give their clients everything from ‘a royal wedding of epic proportions’ [to] the most glamorous, sophisticated and tasteful backyard wedding.”
But his services are not for those with shallow pockets. According to Cowie’s website, his company — which has offices in New York and Los Angeles — produces national and international events “with budgets ranging from $25,000 to $25 million.”
A source previously told us that Lopez and Affleck’s wedding would be a multi-day affair and there could be a celebration on nearby St. Simons Island, known for its beautiful beaches, wellness retreats and a picturesque lighthouse.
We were told the two or three day ordeal would be for “everyone they love but couldn’t invite” to their shock wedding in Sin City.
The source also said the couple’s guest list includes celebrity friends Casey Affleck, Matt Damon, Jimmy Kimmel and Lopez’s “Shades of Blue” co-star, Drea de Matteo.
The versatile entertainer, who just celebrated her 53rd birthday on her Paris honeymoon, and the Oscar-winning actor, 49, revived last year nearly two decades after calling off their first engagement.
In a “spur of the moment” decision, the couple “flew to Vegas” and said “I do” at A Little White Chapel in front of two of their five children combined: Lopez’s Emme, 14, and Affleck’s Seraphina, 13.
The “Jenny From the Block” singer is also the mother of Emme’s twin sister, Maximillian, who she shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony, while the co-parents of “Argo” star Sera, Violet (16) and Samuel (10 ) with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
Representatives from Lopez, Affleck and Cowie did not immediately respond to Vidak For Congress’s requests for comment.
