Carly Rae Jepsen Marries Producer Cole Marsden Greif-Neill in Intimate New York Ceremony
READ TIME: 3 MIN.
Carly Rae Jepsen, the Grammy-nominated singer behind global hits like “Call Me Maybe” and “Good Time,” exchanged vows with Cole Marsden Greif-Neill—a six-time Grammy-winning music producer known professionally as Cole M.G.N.—on October 4, 2025, at the iconic Chelsea Hotel in New York City. The ceremony, attended by 100 close friends and family members, was a reflection of the couple’s artistic sensibilities and personal values, with Jepsen’s aunt and uncle presiding over the vows.
Jepsen, 39, and Greif-Neill, 40, chose the Chelsea Hotel for its storied history and personal significance. “We knew we wanted a location that meant something to us, and the Chelsea Hotel had become a home away from home every time we were in New York,” Jepsen told Vogue. “As artists, its iconic history and lore made it that much more appealing”. The couple’s planning process was intentionally relaxed, with weekly dates to discuss wedding details, ensuring the experience remained joyful and stress-free.
For the ceremony, Jepsen wore a strapless, corseted gown by Australian designer Toni Maticevski, while Greif-Neill donned a cream suit from Parisian label Husbands and Gucci shoes. The bride accessorized with pearl earrings handmade by her mother, Alexandra Lanzarotta, adding a deeply personal touch to her ensemble. At the reception, Jepsen changed into a flowy, tiered dress by Danielle Franke, a choice influenced by the couple’s hopes to start a family soon.
The wedding’s decor featured wildflowers and intimate lighting, creating a romantic, dreamlike atmosphere. “Walking down the aisle felt like a fever dream,” Jepsen recalled. “Nothing will top the moment when we first locked eyes, and to be honest, for the first half of the ceremony we couldn’t see anyone else”. Despite expectations, neither Jepsen nor Greif-Neill shed tears during the ceremony, with the singer noting the energy was “light and joyful” throughout.
Music played a central role in the celebration. The couple curated a DJ setlist with special songs that would prompt them to find each other no matter where they were during the reception—a nod to their shared professional lives and personal connection. After dinner and toasts, singer Rufus Wainwright surprised guests with an a cappella rendition of Leonard Cohen’s “Chelsea Hotel #2,” a song deeply tied to the venue’s history.
Literary touches were also present, with books by Leonard Cohen and Patti Smith—both synonymous with the Chelsea Hotel’s artistic legacy—used as place cards to help guests find their seats. The couple’s personal vows, read aloud in front of their families, highlighted their journey from collaborators to life partners.
Jepsen and Greif-Neill first met during a songwriting session in 2021 but did not begin dating until the following year. Their engagement took place in September 2024 at the Hotel Castello di Reschio in Umbria, Italy, setting the stage for a wedding that blended their love of music, travel, and family.
The couple’s relationship has been characterized by mutual support and creative collaboration, with Greif-Neill’s production credits spanning major pop acts and Jepsen’s continued evolution as a songwriter and performer. Their wedding marks a public affirmation of a partnership rooted in both personal and professional harmony.
With the wedding behind them, fans are eager to see what’s next for Carly Rae Jepsen, both personally and professionally. The singer has hinted at plans to start a family, and her loyal fanbase—including many in the LGBTQ+ community—will no doubt continue to support her as she navigates this new chapter.
Reflecting on the day, Jepsen said, “This day felt like the exception. It was better than either one of our wildest dreams. We felt connected through the whole thing, which was really important to us”. For now, the couple’s celebration stands as a testament to the power of love, creativity, and the enduring magic of New York City.
