NBC News senior White House correspondent, Gabe Gutierrez, recently exchanged vows with Adrienne Cohen in a lavish wedding ceremony that took place at The St. Regis in Washington, D.C. The exclusive black-tie event was attended by 145 close friends and family members, including several of Gutierrez’s NBC News colleagues such as Andrea Mitchell, Peter Alexander, and Tom Llamas. The couple shared their special day with PEOPLE, highlighting the picturesque courtyard setting of the iconic hotel, conveniently located near the White House where Gutierrez spends his days reporting on the Trump administration.
The wedding celebrations began on Friday, Nov. 21, with a D.C.-focused welcome party at The Hay-Adams, setting the tone for a weekend filled with love and joy. The main event unfolded the following day, with Gutierrez and Cohen declaring their love for each other in a heartfelt ceremony surrounded by their nearest and dearest. The couple worked closely with event planner Evoke DC to create a dreamy ambiance for their wedding, featuring lush greenery, neutral florals, and an abundance of candles.
Adrienne Cohen stunned in a custom Galia Lahav dress that effortlessly transformed from a Cinderella-ballgown silhouette to a sleeker design for the reception. The couple’s first dance was a touching moment set to the tune of “Bless the Broken Road” by Rascal Flatts, symbolizing their unique journey towards finding each other amidst life’s twists and turns. Their shared commitment to blending their Cuban and Southern roots was evident in every detail of the celebration, from the Cuban band to the choice of a cheesecake wedding cake.
As the night unfolded, guests enjoyed an elegant candlelit dinner party followed by dancing under the stars in a clear, heated tent within the hotel courtyard. Gutierrez and Cohen’s love story is one of resilience and hope, characterized by moments of profound loss and rediscovery. For Cohen, finding love again after losing her husband to brain cancer in 2023 seemed like a distant possibility, until fate brought her and Gutierrez together through a dating app.
The couple’s engagement at Galley Beach on Nantucket was a picturesque moment of surprise and joy, with Cohen’s daughters playing a central role in the heartfelt proposal. Gutierrez’s unwavering support and love for Cohen and her children exemplify the strength of their bond and their shared vision of building a vibrant, blended family. Their wedding day symbolized a new beginning, marked by joy, healing, and the promise of a brighter future together.
Looking ahead, Gutierrez and Cohen are excited about moving in together and embracing the simple joys of everyday life as a complete family. Their love story serves as a testament to resilience, second chances, and the transformative power of love in bringing hope and happiness even in the face of adversity. As they embark on a week-long honeymoon in St. Barts, the couple remains grateful for the winding path that led them to each other and the promise of a bright and hopeful future as husband and wife.
