A cinematic ceremony, a fairy-tale reception and a galaxy of stars: Inside celebrity accountant Anthony Bell’s no-expense-spared wedding to Annika Martyn

Celebrity accountant Anthony Bell pulled out all the stops for his lavish wedding to Annika Martyn near Noosa over a magical weekend in November.

The happy couple kept the details of their no-fee wedding private until Thursday, when Anthony shared a beautiful video of the occasion on Instagram.

The lavish ceremony, held at Yandina Station on the Sunshine Coast, featured a star-studded guest list, with Australian sporting and showbiz royalty among the stars.

As the air buzzed with laughter and the clink of cocktail glasses, Today show host Karl Stefanovic was spotted with his wife Jasmine.

Her sister, Jade Yarbrough, was also in attendance with her new boyfriend, multi-millionaire property developer Paul Gedoun.

Notably absent was Jade’s ex, cricketer Michael Clarke, who made headlines in 2023 with his infamous Noosa Brawl, which was attended by Karl and Anthony.

Gold Logie winner Larry Emdur arrived with his wife Sylvie and had guests in tears with laughter and joy as he acted as MC for the event.

Guy Sebastian was reportedly paid more than $100,000 to perform at the wedding.

Other guests included Real Housewives of Sydney star Terry Biviano and her husband Anthony Minichiello.

Meanwhile, Richard Wilkins walked around with his new love in the neighborhood, wearing bare feet, light shirts and linen shorts as his uniform for the day.

As the Aperol Spritz flowed and the music kept the spirits high, A-list Australians mingled on the working cattle property.

The luxury estate is set on 14 hectares of rural land with panoramic views of Mt Coolum.

Annika and Anthony said “I do” on the estate grounds and hosted their celebrity guests for their wedding reception in the historic Dairy Barn.

The location was made to look like a fairytale with its lights, white roses and white place settings.

Annika was all smiles as she was walked down the aisle by her 16-year-old son, Ryder, who passed the ex-cricket WAG to a grinning Anthony.

The couple shared their vows in front of friends and family as they stood with a white rose arch as a backdrop.

Bridesmaids dressed entirely in black put on a glamorous display as guests chuckled over some of the shared vows.

Rose petals were thrown over Anthony and Annika as they walked back down the aisle together to take photos ahead of their reception.

‘What an incredible day. What an incredible wedding. I had the best time ever with my whole family and all my friends,” Annika said on Instagram at the time.

‘The lady. So great. Our celebrant was off the charts.”

“It was a beautiful ceremony and reception,” one guest told the Daily Telegraph. “You really felt the love in the room.”

Very little was shared on social media in the hours leading up to the ceremony.

Annika started the day with a ‘quick dip’ with her young daughter, Taylor, at a luxury accommodation and later showed off her huge new sparkling ring.

She trickled out snapshots to her Instagram Stories, including a sweet family portrait of the bride and groom and their blended family.

Annika shares a four-year-old daughter, Taylor, and a 16-year-old son, Ryder, with her ex-husband, cricketer Damien Martin.

As for Anthony, he was previously married to Getaway star Kelly Landry, who confirmed in December 2023 that she and Bell were divorcing after 10 years of marriage.

Kelly and Anthony share two daughters, Charlize, 11, and Thea, eight.

The couple’s children dressed to match them: Ryder wore a black and white suit and Anthony’s daughters wore pretty black mini dresses with cream bows.

Annika opted for a simple halter neck wedding dress that tied around her neck, and paired it with a long beaded veil.

Her youngest daughter wore a sweet cream-colored dress, made from the same fabric, with black bows.
