'It's Сontrolled Сhaos Оver Here': The Son of Celebrity Chef Guy Fieri Got Married — Enchanting Details from Hunter and Tara's wedding

Congratulations poured in from across the culinary world and beyond as the son of celebrity chef tied the knot with his professional pickleball-playing bride.

In a celebration that could rival a Hollywood blockbuster, Hunter Fieri, the son of flame-haired culinary superstar Guy Fieri, said "I do" to his sweetheart Tara Fieri. What unfolded at the Fieri family ranch in California was nothing short of a jaw-dropping, star-studded, emotion-packed extravaganza.

The chef, who is the elder son of the "Food Network" star, got married to Tara in an upscale country affair at HuntRyde Ranch in Sonoma, with 350 guests turning out on Saturday, August 30, to celebrate the beginning of their next chapter

"It's controlled chaos over here. Like a mini Stagecoach," Hunter joked about the festival-like atmosphere, before turning serious. He said the day was really about surrounding themselves with their closest friends and family, sharing good food, and simply enjoying time with the people who matter most.

Denim, Diamonds… and Venezuelan Donuts

The celebrations kicked off a day earlier with a "Denim & Diamonds" welcome party on Friday, August 29, under glowing string lights and open skies. Guests dined on a rustic, flavorful Mexican feast courtesy of Chef Lorena Garcia, who brought her culinary roots to life with a surprise treat — Venezuelan fried hot doughnuts.

In a deeply personal touch, the couple ditched the traditional guest book. Instead, loved ones signed a YETI cooler, while nostalgic home videos and photos of Hunter and Tara played quietly in the background, setting the mood for a weekend steeped in sentiment and love.

A Grandmother Flower Girl, and a Gown to Remember

The moment Tara walked down the aisle with her father Joel was made all the more special by the appearance of Hunter’s 81-year-old grandmother, Penelope "Mimi" Ferry, who stole hearts as the flower girl. This was an emotional detail that left guests visibly touched.

But the real showstopper? Tara's breathtaking custom Justin Alexander ballgown, shimmering with beaded and sequined lace appliqués and trailed by a cathedral-length tulle veil lined with delicate floral embroidery.

The designer also created three other ensembles for the bride — including a strapless mini dress for the welcome party, a glittering floral high-low gown for the reception, and soft blue satin gowns for her bridal party. The result was a fashion tour-de-force that kept eyes on Tara the entire weekend.

Sharp-Dressed Groomsmen and Vows from the Heart

Not to be outdone, the groom and his inner circle, including cousin Jules, Tara’s brothers Aden and Aviv, and Hunter’s younger brother Ryder, who proudly served as best man, looked sharp in SuitShop tailoring.

Hunter stood out in a stone-colored suit with ivory accents, while his groomsmen wore tan suits with blue bow ties, blending charm with elegance under the California sun.

The couple exchanged heartfelt handwritten vows, cementing their bond with custom-designed wedding bands by Dan Corbin — a tender prelude to the weekend’s wave of emotional highs and heartfelt moments.

The multi-day celebration wrapped with a laid-back Sunday brunch on August 31, bringing the fairytale to a relaxed, joyful close.

'Side by Side Forever': Inside Hunter and Tara's Next Chapter

Now officially husband and wife, the pair opened up about their new marital status — and what it really means for them. Hunter was quick to say that marriage wouldn’t change their relationship’s dynamic. He shared that he sees their life ahead as a continuation of what they already cherish, including tackling everything side by side.

Tara, meanwhile, expressed sheer joy at the journey ahead. She spoke about growing together, as individuals and as a couple. She also emphasized that their connection is grounded in friendship and passion, adding that they are committed to giving their all in everything they do.

Famous Friends and Fans Chime in With Love and Commentary

As the newlyweds basked in the joy of their marriage, photos from the celebrations quickly surfaced online, captivating fans and fellow celebrities alike. Gordon Ramsay shared his excitement, "Congratulations to you both @hunterfieri @tarafieri sending lots of love to you all from all the Ramsay's ❤️ @guyfieri."

Martie Duncan also joined in with warm words, "Congratulations to the whole Fieri family! Sending best wishes for love and happiness always 😘." Rocco DiSpirito kept his message simple but full of enthusiasm, "Congratulations to you all. @hunterfieri @tarafieri 🔥🙌👏."

Fans, on the other hand, filled the comments section with a mix of heartfelt wishes, playful observations, and even a few sharp remarks. One person marveled, "Omg I really lost track of time. I don't remember his son growing up. Congratulations."

Another netizen couldn't resist a foodie nod, "Congratulations 🔥🔥🔥👏👏 yes enjoy the delish food that your father in law and hubby makes. Indulge 🙌🙌🙌🔥🔥❤️."

Not all reactions were glowing. A critic person chimed in bluntly, "This man has nothing to teach anybody except which Diner to go to," in response to Tara sharing that the celebrity chef had encouraged her to broaden her palate.

Some were distracted by Hunter's appearance, with one remarking, "Fieri son kinda looks like Edward Norton." Another person took a softer stance, noting, "Hunter does not appear to look like his dad in any way on tv, but in this photo I see the resemblance. I hope Tara married Hunter for who he is, not because of his dad!?☮️"

There were also comments poking fun at the groom himself. One person pointed out, "Hunter couldn't wrap his hands around his wife," and another netizen wrote, "He couldn't wear a tie for his owns son's wedding." Guy didn't escape the spotlight either, as one fan joked, "Guy looks the same as always! Wedding or food network!😂"

And amid the humor and critiques, another admirer struck a more reflective note, "I love Guy! Hunter is so sweet but still so awkward in front of the camera. I wish Guy would stop promoting him. I get the impression that Hunter feels more comfortable behind the scenes. Let him do what he wants."

Guy Fieri Gave His Blessing Long Before the Proposal

All fan comments aside, Guy Fieri is a proud father-in-law, who once expressed his approval of Tara even before Hunter proposed. This occurred at the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen, during a cooking demo he conducted with Hunter.

He praised the young woman, a pickleball player, highlighting her "good values" and acknowledging her as a "really great person." Guy saw Tara as a perfect match for his son, as he once said, "To see him have a partner that is as driven as he is, it's perfect."

The chef also remarked on her prowess in pickleball, where she often outshined the rest in friendly family competitions. With great pride, Hunter's father called his son's partner a "pickleball machine."

How Tara's Palate Evolved Under Guy's Influence

Tara also has nothing but praise for her father-in-law. She admitted she was never much of a cook or even a food enthusiast, but marrying into the Fieri family has changed that.

Under Guy’s guidance, she has already picked up valuable kitchen skills. "He's taught me a lot about knife skills. [Guy] encourages me to learn different things and try new foods because I have been a picky eater," shared Tara.

The athlete used to eat pasta and fries but has gradually evolved into trying foods she once avoided, like tuna. For Tara, having a father-in-law who is both supportive and eager to share his knowledge has made the experience even more special.

A Super Bowl Spark and a Thanksgiving Proposal

Hunter knew Tara was the one, and made it official at a Thanksgiving celebration in 2023, proposing to her at the very same ranch where they’d later marry. The engagement came just nine months after they first met at the Super Bowl in Arizona.

An Instagram post by Guy's son, bearing the caption, "Coming soon... Mr. & Mrs. Fieri ♥️ #blessed," captured this transformative event for the family.

The photos from that day showed a peaceful lakeside proposal, with Tara overwhelmed and covering her face in joyful disbelief as Hunter knelt before her. Later images showed them in a tight embrace, with Guy grinning proudly in the background.

Fans welcomed Hunter's engagement with enthusiastic congratulations and kind words. They praised the couple as "the most perfect FIANCÉS," while others celebrated Hunter's growth into a "handsome young man." One admirer called his fiancée "gorgeous," and another remarked on her "stunning" presence.

In a heartfelt Instagram post, Guy congratulated his son and embraced his soon-to-be daughter-in-law. The couple, captured toasting their engagement, shone with happiness as Tara's ring sparkled on her finger. Guy affectionately confirmed, "You two are made for each other."

Birthday Love, Cowboy Hats, and a Final Pre-Wedding Memory

Tara has also proclaimed her love for Hunter. In a sweet Instagram moment before the big day, Tara celebrated Hunter’s birthday

She wrote, "Happy birthday to my rock @hunterfieri 🤍 can't believe this is the last birthday I'll celebrate with you as fiancés. From the moment we met, you've been my safe place, my biggest cheerleader, and my favorite adventure!!"

Tara added, "You are an incredible human and life with you is filled with laughter, love, and the kind of moments I wish I could bottle up forever🤍 cheers to you babe!!!! 29!!!!."

The post was paired with a romantic video montage, which showed Tara in a short white dress, black boots, and a cowboy hat with "bride" emblazoned across it. Hunter matched her vibe in his own cowboy hat, white shirt, and black slacks, as the two twirled, posed, and laughed together in a serene open field.

Now, with love from all directions and the full support of their families, Hunter and Tara Fieri are officially embarking on life as husband and wife.
