Gwyneth Paltrow, actress and Goopster, married Brad Falchuk, American Horror Story and Glee co-creator, in a very luxe and undoubtedly very well-curated ceremony Saturday evening.

The two had confirmed their engagement in a big way: on the cover of January’s Sex & Love issue of Goop, where they wore matching outfits and expressions of joy.

“Personally, at midlife, I have tried to accept how complex romantic love can be. I have decided to give it a go again, not only because I believe I have found the man I was meant to be with, but because I have accepted the soul-stretching, pattern-breaking opportunities that (terrifyingly) are made possible by intimacy,” she wrote inside the issue, referring to both her then-fiancé and her relationship with ex-husband Chris Martin (of Coldplay and “conscious un-coupling” fame).

Paltrow had previously said that because she and Martin had eloped, she’d “never had a wedding before. So, even though I’m 45, I sort of feel like a 21-year-old.”

Well, there we go then! On to the wedding—here’s everything we know so far about the nuptials:

The Location

People reports that privacy was high on the wish list for the soon-to-be newlyweds, so the venue wasn’t exactly a highly visible one: According to the Daily Mail, the ceremony took place at Paltrow’s $5.4 million home in the Hamptons, which she’d bought with Martin in 2006. Apparently Paltrow had been renovating the property in advance of the wedding.

The Ceremony

According to E!, the wedding kicked off with cocktails while a string quartet performed, which sounds very classy.

The ceremony began around 5 p.m., reports E!, and the couple exchanged their vows under an archway surrounded by flowers, greenery, and lanterns.

The Dress

No word yet on the dress, sadly, but the groom reportedly wore a gray suit.

The Guest List

E! reports that the guest list was kept pretty intimate—even by normal-person standards—with just 75 lucky friends and family members making the cut for the big day. Those in attendance included the mother of the bride, Blythe Danner; Robert Downey Jr. and his wife Susan Downey; Rob Lowe and his wife Sheryl Berkoff; and Jerry Seinfeld and his wife Jessica Seinfeld, who have their own Hamptons house next door, according to the Daily Mail. (The Seinfelds also hosted a rehearsal dinner for the couple Friday night.)

Apparently Paltrow’s friend Cameron Diaz came over early to help the bride get dressed. “Cameron was very excited about Gwyneth’s wedding. Gwyneth has been giving her updates and asking for advice during the planning,” reports People.

The Reception

Huge white tents were set up on the property, according to the Daily Mail, and photographic evidence included in their report shows several boxes of champagne and water.

Inside the tents, paparazzi captured glimpses of white plates set out on long white tables, complemented by tall votives and “ivory and wine-colored” floral arrangements, reports E!. New York City-based caterer Olivier Cheng reportedly handled the food, and live music played during dinner.

The Photography

Also on the guest list—and on filming duty—was none other than Steven Spielberg, who was responsible for Paltrow’s big break in the film Hook. Apparently he was filming everything with a handheld camera, so you can bet their wedding video will be Oscar-worthy.

The Rings

Gold and tastefully minimalist. Très Goop.

Where Was Chris Martin?

He was jamming at the Global Citizen festival back in the city.

Congrats to the newlyweds!
