PEOPLE exclusively revealed that the couple tied the knot in a “country chic” wedding at the Fieri family ranch, HuntRyde Ranch, in Sonoma, California, on Saturday, Aug. 30. The following day, Hunter’s father, Food Network star Guy Fieri, 57, gushed about the couple’s “next level wedding” in a lengthy post on Instagram.
“Congratulations to my best friend, son, cohost, business partner, and now married man. Wow!” Guy wrote of his elder son, 29, on Sunday, Aug. 31, alongside a photo from the outdoor ceremony, which took place on an island with a large willow tree in the center of the ranch’s pond.
He then welcomed his new daughter-in-law, 28, into the family.
“We are so excited for all the love and energy you bring to the Fieri family… and all the free pickle ball lessons lol,” Guy said of Bernstein, who is a professional pickleball player.
He continued: “Amazing couple. Next level wedding. And memories for a lifetime!!”

Guy concluded his post by thanking chefs Cesar Orozco, Lorena Garcia, Antonia Lofaso, and Aaron May, for cooking up “the NEXT LEVEL wedding dinner for just 350 of our closest friends.” He also thanked Buddy Valastro for making the approximately 5-foot-tall wedding cake, which the Cake Boss star transported nearly 3,000 miles from his bakery in New Jersey.
“If the chefs’s kid is gonna have a wedding of course the baller chefs show up to cook!!” Guy added.
The comments section was flooded with congratulations from friends, family and fans of the Fieris, including a sweet message from celebrity chef and restaurateur Gordon Ramsay, 58.

“Congratulations to you both @hunterfieri @tarafieri sending lots of love to you all from all the Ramsay’s ❤️ @guyfieri,” the Hell’s Kitchen star wrote.
The “upscale country” celebration was likened to “a mini Stagecoach” by Bernstein, as many guests camped out on the property in trailers. “It’s a little mini food and wine festival almost,” added Hunter, who met his wife at the Super Bowl in Arizona two and a half years ago.
A Mexican feast at the “Denim & Diamonds” welcome party kicked off the festivities. An Italian dinner was served family-style the evening of the wedding, which also featured a “little petting zoo” of ranch animals.

Hunter added: “We work together. We live together. We travel together. We do everything together as much as we can. We support each other, so we’re just going to continue to do that and continue to have fun and continue to create success for ourselves.”
