Mandy Moore shocked the world not only because she finally tied the knot with Taylor Goldsmith last November 2018, but the fact that they held the intimate wedding ceremony in their own backyard! Many fans were speculating that the wedding was just a spur-of-the-moment decision because they assumed the renowned celebrity would put more thought and preparation into what happened to be the most special event of her life. But the famous singer and her beau broke the showbiz norm by exchanging vows in front of a small, intimate gathering.

Well, if you’re wondering what compelled Moore to opt for a backyard wedding, the singer finally broke her silence and said that she didn’t need fancy venues because the love between the couple was enough to make the event magical. She confessed her wedding was extraordinarily intimate to her. Let’s look at more details of this bizarre marriage as well as the epic honeymoon the newlyweds embarked after sealing their love in a special matrimonial union.

The Intimate Wedding

Moore said that she and her husband Taylor Goldsmith knew from the minute they set their eyes on their property that it was the perfect home for a classic backyard wedding, especially since it offered a breathtaking view of the city from the top of San Gabriel mountains. According to Moore, the whole place was filled with energy and vibrancy. After acquiring the property, she hired Emily Farnham to handle her garden’s landscape design and Sarah Sherman Samuel for her home’s interior design.

Thanks to their work, Moore finally fulfilled her dream of having a relaxing home where she could truly take a break from the fast-paced industry. The newlyweds revealed that the epic view from the backyard compelled them to opt for a home wedding, inviting only a few guests from the couple’s inner circle. According to the singer, they held a relatively small and intimate ceremony with only 40 guests in attendance. Some of them even had to sit by the pool since there wasn’t enough room in the backyard to fit all of them.

The Reception

After the newlyweds exchanged their vows, they went to Fig House in Los Angeles for their reception where Taylor and his bandmates played songs followed by a karaoke session. The lovely ceremony ended with a song number coming from the newlyweds. Moore and Goldsmith sang a beautiful and mellow song entitled “The Things I Might Have Been.” According to the guests, it was the perfect way to end that magical evening for the couple.
