When the mother of the bride is billionairess Heather Kerzner, you know the guest list will be glittering

Princess Olympia of Greece headed up the guest list at one of London’s most glamorous high society weddings this week. When Savannah Murphy and Nicolas ‘Nico’ Hochschild said ‘I do’ at the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Mayfair, it was the bringing together of two illustrious families – with the accordingly glamorous RVSPs to match.

Unsurprising, perhaps, that the wedding on 16 November was quite so splendid. After all, the mother of the bride is Heather Kerzner, the billionairess and Tatler stalwart who counts Princess Beatrice and Sarah, Duchess of York, among her circle of friends. The groom, Nico, is heir to the Hochschild Mining fortune – according to Forbes, the current Hochschild patriarch is worth over a billion dollars.

No doubt, then, that there was no expense spared for the occasion at Mayfair’s famous church (which has previously played host to the nuptials of Katya Clemence and Richard Pilkington, as well as Alessandro Tomé and Katarina Ionescu).

Gathered there on Savannah and Nico’s big day? Well, Princess Olympia of Greece was there to document events, of course. The 28-year-old model was on the front row when the bride and groom tied the knot. Savannah was glowing at the altar in a backless lace wedding gown and mantilla lace veil, while the groom wore a handsome black suit for the big day.

While the Greek royal may brought some blue-blooded glamour to the occasion, rock royalty made an appearance when the party continued at the Dorchester Hotel. Rolling Stones rock legend Ronnie Wood and his wife Sally Wood – both of whom are friends of Heather Kerzner from when she was married to hotelier tycoon Sol Kerzner – were there to cheer on the happy couple. Sally took to Instagram with a behind-the-scenes photo of Heather’s stunning pink dress, writing: ‘thank you for inviting us to be part of your beautiful wedding weekend.’ The producer also shared a picture of her with Ronnie, skincare founder Amanda Caroline Cronin, and Real Housewife of New York Dorinda Medley. According to Sally’s post, Monica Lewinsky joined the group at the ‘Walking on Sunshine’ table.

And Cronin – who was previously married to Monegasque energy mogul Mark Daeche and is the proud owner of what she calls the ‘longest legs in Belgravia’ – also shared some photos from the reception at the Dorchester. On the menu for guests, who dined in the glittering ballroom? Pumpkin, chestnut, and sage risotto for starters, followed by Sole meunière rosettes (or roast cauliflower for the vegans among the guests), followed by an autumnal apple crumble for dessert.

The eight-tiered wedding cake was decorated with a spray of pastel flowers, which appeared to match Savannah’s second dress, a glittering number with a tulle train. In a charming photo of the bride cutting the cake, it appears the party centrepiece was a custom neon pink sign bearing her new surname.
