BWW Exclusive Photos: Laura Benanti and Patrick Brown Tie the Knot in Beautiful New York Ceremony

On Sunday, November 15th, beloved Tony-winner Laura Benanti married Patrick Brown in a beautiful ceremony at Harlem's Riverside Church. Amongst the friends and family in attendance were Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Connie Britton, Celia Keenan-Bolger, John Ellison Conlee, Michael Arden, Julie White, and Chelsea Nachman. BroadwayWorld has exclusive photos from the entire magical day below.

The ceremony was performed by Rev. Dr. Jan Powell, and musical theatre writer and performer Todd Almond sang his song "Take Good Care of Me" for the couple at the church.

Benanti wore a gorgeous, white, strapless, Alençon lace gown by designer Anne Barge, who said, "Laura is exactly the type of bride that inspires me. She is a timeless beauty with a vibrant spirit. I was thrilled to have her in my gown, and wish her and Patrick a lifetime of happiness together." Patrick's suit was by Billy Reid.

The bride's hair was done by Charles Baker Strahan, her earrings were from Suzy B Jewelry, and the couple's rings were from Lori McLean.

At the reception the newlyweds shared their first dance as husband and wife to Nat King Cole's version of "Love is Here to Stay."

Marcey Brownstein Catering & Events, along with Olga Svirkova, provided the food, and the wedding cake was from Baked NYC in Tribeca. The reception's spirits came from the Catskill Distillery in Woodstock, NY. The company created a signature drink for the wedding with their "Peace Rocks" vodka brand.

People Magazine is providing additional insight into the happy day in their Sexiest Man Alive issue due to hit newsstands tomorrow. They also have a story with a number of additional pictures on the magazines website.

BroadwayWorld and theatre fans around the globe wish Laura and Patrick nothing but happiness, and can't wait to see Laura on the New York stage again in a few months in Roundabout's revival of SHE LOVES ME.
