Rock Legend Dave Navarro Ties the Knot with Actress Vanessa DuBasso in a Fairytale Wedding at a Scottish Castle

Renowned rock musician Dave Navarro, known for his stints in Jane’s Addiction and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, has embarked on a new chapter in his life by marrying actress and fashion designer Vanessa DuBasso. The couple’s enchanting wedding took place over multiple days, from March 28 to March 30, at the picturesque Dunskey Estate in Stranraer, Scotland.

In an exclusive statement to PEOPLE, Navarro, 57, and DuBasso, 32, revealed their long-standing dream to exchange vows in a castle setting. The couple instantly fell in love with the secluded coastal estate of Dunskey, adorned with an Edwardian castle, lush woodlands, and breathtaking sea views. The venue’s ethereal charm, surrounded by a towering forest and the ruins of a castle along the shoreline, provided the perfect backdrop for their Gothic, darkly romantic wedding.

The celebration kicked off with a rehearsal dinner that set the tone for the entire event, featuring black candles and deep-colored flowers to create a mysterious ambiance. The wedding day commenced with a forest ceremony, where gold candelabra, white roses lining the aisle, and chandeliers in the trees crafted an otherworldly atmosphere.

Vanessa DuBasso, the founder of VANTABLACKLAMM, looked stunning in a white gown with subtle black accents, while Navarro donned all-black attire. The bride’s romantic, Victorian-inspired look was curated in collaboration with designer Tina Wong, and her ensemble was completed with angel wings, symbolizing the couple’s transcendent love.

The ceremony, officiated by Ali Orr Ewing, the owner of Dunskey Estate, featured live classical music as DuBasso made her entrance to the soothing notes of Debussy’s “Clair de Lune.” The magical moment was sealed with a kiss under a sky illuminated by fireworks, signifying the union of the newlyweds.

Following the ceremony, the reception unfolded in the castle’s dungeon, with guests including comedian Pete Davidson relishing a feast of pasta, filet mignon, and Scottish desserts. The evening was lit with joy and celebration as the couple danced the night away, interspersed with pizza breaks as a cozy late-night treat.

The festivities continued the next day with activities such as gun shooting, Falconry encounters, a barbecue in the woods, and a bonfire on the beach. Looking towards the future, DuBasso and Navarro envision creating a tranquil sanctuary in nature to build their life together, away from the bustle of the outside world.

The couple’s love story began eight years ago when Navarro, captivated by DuBasso’s presence, arranged a date through a mutual connection. Their bond blossomed into a deep, soulful connection that transcended past relationships, bringing light and healing into each other’s lives.

Reflecting on their journey, DuBasso expressed gratitude for Navarro’s unwavering support and love, describing him as the love of her life. Navarro reciprocated, highlighting the strength they find in each other during both challenging and joyous times.

As they embark on this new chapter as husband and wife, DuBasso and Navarro are eager to explore the historic sights of Edinburgh during their honeymoon, basking in the love that binds them together. This fairytale wedding at a Scottish castle marks the beginning of a beautiful journey for the newlyweds, surrounded by love, nature, and endless possibilities.
