The wedding of Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham may have appeared to be a beautiful event, but it was not without drama. Apart from the dress feud between the Transformers: Age of Extinction actress and her mother-in-law Victoria Beckham, it comes out that the couple had three separate wedding coordinators for the event.

The Peltz Sues The Planners
The Bates Motel alum’s billionaire father, Nelson Peltz, has filed a lawsuit against wedding planners Nicole Braghin and Arianna Grijalba for refusing to return the $159,000 deposit he gave them, according to the Daily Mail .
3 Wedding Planners, One Wedding
Nicola, the 28-year-old daughter of billionaire businessman Nelson Peltz, went through three wedding planners, two of whom fell short of her expectations.
There was a last-minute rush to book musicians and a “day of reckoning” with one event designer, who was moved to tears by the project’s stress.
Recent Discoveries
This new information, along with messages from Nicola to one of the planners, was revealed Tuesday in a lawsuit filed by her father, a colorful and controversial businessman vying for a seat on Disney’s board of directors.
They Hired Braghin and Grijalba After Firing Preston Bailey
Peltz and his wife Claudia contacted Braghin and Grijalba through their company, Plan Design Events, in March 2022, after firing their initial planner, celebrity-adored Preston Bailey.
It is unclear why Bailey was deemed unsuitable for the position.
The Cost Of The Wedding
Peltz, 80, claims in his lawsuit statement that Bailey faced ‘challenges’ when preparing the massive celebration, which took place on April 9 at the family estate in Palm Beach, Florida, and reportedly cost over $3.5 million.
The Peltz Wanted A Grand Wedding
The Peltz family had big plans for their daughter, a “world-famous actress,” for the three-day gala. So it’s understandable why the billionaire is suing.
According to the lawsuit, “The guest list included more than five hundred people, including numerous celebrities, athletes, dignitaries and other influential individuals, who travelled from all around the globe to attend.”
Braghin And Grijalba Couldn’t Handle The Guest List
The Peltz family believed that on March 1, 2022, six weeks before the wedding, Braghin and Grijalba would be able to start up where Bailey left off.
However, nine days later, after paying a $159,000 deposit, they opted not to proceed with the couple, claiming they couldn’t handle the VIP guestlist.
Sharing Proof Of The Messages With The Planners
The deposit is the current issue, which Peltz is suing for in Miami this week. He has shared some intimate details of the star-studded gathering while attempting to reclaim his money.
He attached screenshots of a group text message between himself, the planners, and Nicola.
In several cases, Nicola warned the planners that she was “weary of catching” their recurring errors.
Suing Also For Legal Fees
The Peltz family claims the wedding planners overstated their talents, guaranteeing they could handle the “once in a lifetime” event. Michelle Rago of Michelle Rago Destinations was hired by the family and carried off the occasion flawlessly.
But due to the tight time constraint, Peltz alleges he had to pay Rago a significantly larger amount than what the Rago Destinations would have charged under regular conditions.
He claims he contacted Planned Design Events for his payment several times over the next few weeks, but they refused to return it.
The businessman is also suing them for legal fees.
