Who's in and who's out at Andy Lee and Rebecca Harding's star-studded NYC wedding: Hollywood icons, a notable absence and the stars keeping the party going at 2.30am

Andy Lee and Rebecca Harding celebrated their New York nuptials with some of the biggest names in movies, television and comedy on Tuesday during what has been called 'the party of the year'. 

The couple finally said 'I do' in the Big Apple after 12 years together and enjoyed a star-studded reception after the ceremony. 

The comedian, 45, and the model, 36, exchanged vows at the Nine Orchard hotel in Manhattan's Lower East Side just before sunset.

They were surrounded by some of their famous friends, including Hugh Jackman - who was notably flying solo without his girlfriend Sutton Foster - as well as Hamish Blake and wife Zoë, American comedian Nikki Glaser, Nova radio host Lauren Phillips and her aviation tycoon fiancé Paul O’Brien, and cricketer Dan Christian. 

Following the ceremony, the couple were seen sharing a kiss on the rooftop terrace of the venue.

Rebecca, who stunned on her big day in a white corseted strapless gown and veil, beamed as she cuddled up to her husband for photos while holding a big bouquet of white roses.

The newlyweds and their A-list guests then descended on Chinatown hotspot Apotheke for a black-tie reception, with some piling into waiting vans while others hit the streets on foot, partying until 2.30am.

In exclusive pictures obtained by the Mail, the happy couple were seen looking very merry as they left the venue to head to their hotel after the bash.

In scenes reminiscent of Sex and the City, the pair enjoyed a Carrie and Big moment as they ran across a busy Manhattan street dressed in their wedding reception outfits.

After stunning her guests in her white strapless corseted wedding gown, Rebecca changed into a sexy satin slip dress for the after party. 

She dressed the frock up with designer accessories, including a pair of white lace Jimmy Choo heels and a matching cream satin pouch bag by the designer, which Andy gallantly carried for his new bride. 

Meanwhile, funnyman Andy was still wearing his dapper tuxedo, but had removed his bow tie and unbuttoned his shirt for the party. 

The wedding reception appeared to be one hell of a party, with guests looking rather worse for wear as they left the venue. 

Hugh Jackman was seen attending the event solo, with no sign of Foster, the theatre actress he has been dating since his split from ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness. 

The actress was on the other side of the US, on the West Coast, where she has been teaching dance classes in Pasadena, California, at the Sierra Madre Dance Centre. 

The Wolverine star, 58, looked dapper in a black tuxedo and a matching black bow tie and revealed a bushy beard. 

After chatting to other guests outside the venue, he was seen leaving on his own, thoroughly engrossed in his phone.

Meanwhile, American comedian and TV host Nikki Glaser, 42, proved she was one of the best dressed guests as she arrived at the bash.

The statuesque blonde, who hosted this year's Golden Globes, showed off her sensational figure in a navy blue satin gown.

Elsewhere, beauty entrepreneur Zoë Foster Blake, 46, turned heads in a quirky green beaded frock.

She was spotted in the sea of people arriving at the reception behind Glaser, while her husband, Hamish—Andy Lee's groomsman and co-star—was seen chatting to a mate. 

Meanwhile, Lauren Phillips, 39, and her fiancé Paul O'Brien looked ready to party as they arrived in their black tie ensembles.

Lauren opted for a baby pink draped gown while Paul dressed in a tuxedo, and the pair appeared exhausted when they left the reception in the early hours of the morning.

Australian actress Jessica McNamee, 40, and husband Patrick Caruso were also in attendance, with the blonde beauty looking sensational in a very low-cut ice blue gown.

Socialites Rey and husband Johnny Ingham made a rare public appearance, arriving at the reception in matching black ensembles.

Andy Lee's parents, Michael and Margaret, looked proud as punch following the nuptials as they were seen with other family members of the happy couple, including Bec's sister Poppy, Andy's sister Alex, and his brother Cam, who was one of his groomsmen. 

Ahead of the reception, Rebecca was seen in her beautiful wedding gown with her stylist, Elliot Garnaut, and several assistants attempting to shield her with umbrellas, while Andy held her netted veil. 

For her big day, she looked absolutely breathtaking in a stylish white strapless gown, thought to be by an Australian designer. 

Her dress featured a dramatic long train and a structured bodice, and she accessorised with a pair of dainty diamond earrings and, of course, her engagement ring.

The brunette beauty wore her hair out in a romantic half-up, half-down style and let her natural beauty shine through by wearing minimal makeup.

Andy had three groomsmen by his side - Lego Masters host Hamish, one of his brothers and his best friend Michael Horgan.

The couple arrived in the Big Apple for their wedding celebrations last weekend.

They flew first class to the US and were joined on the flight by two of Andy's groomsmen.

On Monday night, they appeared to hold a pre-wedding celebration with their friends in Manhattan.

Andy and Rebecca were spotted strolling down the streets of New York in bridal-inspired outfits. 

Rebecca looked chic in a form-fitting cream coat over a matching mini dress, while Andy was dapper in a beige suit. 

Rebecca and Andy's relationship began after they first met at a Melbourne café in 2014, where Andy famously left his email address for Rebecca on a napkin.

She eventually got in touch and the pair went on their first date the following day.

After briefly splitting early in their relationship, the couple reunited and have remained together ever since.

Andy popped the question after 10 years of dating in 2024, and Rebecca admitted she was genuinely shocked by the proposal, despite how long they had been together.

The comedian revealed the exciting news on an episode of his Hamish and Andy podcast.

Speaking with his podcast co-host Hamish Blake, Andy shared intimate details of his proposal, before inviting his fiancée on the show.

'I asked Bec to marry me on Sunday,' Andy announced.

Hamish said he was overjoyed and that he and his wife Zoë were both 'crying' with happiness over the news.

Rebecca also showed off the stunning diamond engagement ring on Instagram.

'People keep saying we’ve rushed into this but we don’t care what people say!' she captioned her post.

'Is it a bit quick? That's all I wanna ask,' he also joked. 

Andy and Rebecca, who are currently undertaking a $5 million renovation project after buying a historic mansion in Melbourne's east, went to their 'new old house' under the guise they needed to film videos for social media ahead of starting the build.

Pretending to get something out of the marble fireplace, Andy was on one knee when he produced a napkin - which symbolised how they met.

Rebecca and Andy went public with their relationship at the 2015 Australian Open.

In 2022, the couple confirmed they had briefly split for six months in 2016 after Rebecca felt 'immense pressure' dating someone in the public eye.

However, they soon realised they were meant to be during their time apart.

For years, the rumour mill spun with speculation about the pair getting engaged.

In February 2024, Andy was forced to assure The Hundred viewers he hadn't secretly married his long-time sweetheart.

Andy made the announcement as he was responding to a joke from co-star Tom Gleeson, who brought up his well-publicised love life.

'Andy has got something to announce, he's just eloped!' Tom said.

'Gosh, Andy. She is wife material. Just saying, she is wife material,' she told Andy, who was a guest on the program. 

He replied: 'Has my mum been texting you? What the hell is going on?'

Engagement rumours were sparked again in 2020 when Andy posted a photo of Rebecca hiding her left hand while celebrating her 30th birthday.

'Is there a ring she's hiding with her left sleeve?' one eagle-eyed follower wrote, keen to see if the pair were about to share exciting news.

'Stick around till the end of the show, if that's the case... It's not the case,' Andy hit back. 

In 2019, radio host Fifi Box questioned their marital status after the station received an email from a publicist referring to the couple as 'Andy and his fiancée Bec'. 

A month earlier, then-Today show host Georgie Gardner had also tried to get a definitive answer on where the couple were in their personal life.

The happy couple plan to split their time between Melbourne and New York, where Andy part-owns an Australian pub called Old Mates.
