Sean Parker Pays Additional $2.5M for His $10M Wedding

The money will go to the California Coastal
Commission as a compensation for Parker's
elaborate wedding backdrop built too close to
a protected area.
Sean
Parker's
lavish
wedding in
Big Sur
reportedly
cost
around
$10
million,
but the
early
Facebook
adviser
apparently
had to fork
out more
money to make it happen. There was an
additional 2.5 million on his bill as he agreed
to compensate the California Coastal
Commission for building an elaborate setting
in an ecologically sensitive area of state
without proper permits.
Parker married his fiancee and baby mama
Alexandra Lenas at The Ventana Inn over the
weekend. A landscaping company was hired to
build fake ruins, waterfalls and bridges to
provide a backdrop equivalent of a movie set.
Rumor has it, the stone gate alone cost
$600,000. Meanwhile, the dance floor cost
$350,000 and the bill for flowers and plants
totaled $1 million.
The Napster co-founder tapped "Lord of the
Rings" costume designer Ngila Dickson to take
charge of the wardrobe department. Aside
from dressing the billionaire groom, the
award-winning designer also designed outfits
for the couple's 4-month-old daughter Winter
Victoria and their guests.
"We always dreamed of getting married in Big
Sur, one of the most magical places on earth,"
Parker said in a statement. "In continuing my
foundation's mission, we are excited to
support these important conservation-related
projects for and with the local community."
He also agreed to create a video or app that
could help identify areas of the coast that the
public can access.
