Country music star Cole Swindell and his new bride Courtney celebrated their wedding throughout the month of June! The newlyweds said ‘I do’ in a private California ceremony before jetting off on their Turks and Caicos honeymoon. Ten days later, they were back home throwing a big Nashville bash.
Cole and Courtney met at a NASCAR race, then fell in love a few years later while working together on one of his music videos. They were engaged in 2023. Their intimate ceremony was held at Chateau de Ninis in Sonoma County with only family in attendance, according to Brides.
Their June 22 reception was held at Cortina Farms, a private estate just outside of Nashville. According to Courtney, Cortina Farms felt like guests were transported to Italy with a small-town Tennessee vibe. The couple didn’t walk down an aisle or say their vows – they just wanted to celebrate their nuptials with their 250 guests.
Courtney wore a Katherine Tash dress for the reception party, which she found at a Nashville bridal salon. According to Brides, Cole wore a tan tuxedo from Hugo Boss, and paired it with a coordinating cowboy hat and a pair of white Tecovas.

The pair worked with wedding planners Josiah Carr and Justin McGregor, the team behind SAMKOMA, for both their ceremony and reception. Courtney told Brides that it was important both events felt the same with different aesthetics. Their theme? Organic and whimsical, with a few southern touches. The couple incorporated nods to their home states in their reception details – from the napkins, menus and even the cocktail hour trays. They also served Raising Cane’s famous fried chicken from a food truck. According to Brides, the couple honored Cole’s late father on their seating arrangement wall.

Their first dance was to “Forever to Me,” a song that Cole wrote for Courtney. She told Brides that dancing to the song in front of their loved ones was a very special moment. As the party continued, Courtney was joined by her former professional NBA dancers for a ‘honeybee dance.’ Toward the end of the night, the bride traded her Badgley Mischka pumps for a pair of cowboy boots and cowboy hat to match her husband.
