Community star Yvette Nicole Brown weds Anthony Davis in heartfelt Los Angeles ceremony

Actress Yvette Nicole Brown married actor Anthony Davis on December 14, 2024, in an elegant ceremony at The Maybourne Beverly Hills in Los Angeles. The intimate celebration, attended by 200 guests, was described as “classy and fun,” as shared by Brown in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE. The couple, who reconnected in 2021 after meeting in their twenties, marked the occasion as a testament to love and faith.

Reflecting on her journey, Brown, 53, expressed confidence in her decision to marry Davis, calling him “the one” and feeling no nerves about the union. In a touching moment, her brother escorted her down the aisle in place of their father, who has Alzheimer’s disease. Brown revealed that Davis surprised her by arranging for her father to attend after coordinating with his care facility, adding an emotional highlight to the day.

The ceremony featured a mermaid-style gown by Ines Di Santo, customized with butterflies to honor their late mothers. Violinist Alan Price accompanied the bride’s walk down the aisle, creating a heartfelt atmosphere. Officiated by Love McPherson and planned by celebrity wedding planner William P. Miller, the ceremony was a perfect blend of personal touches and elegance.

Guests at the reception were treated to a gourmet dinner of sea bass and short ribs, with harpist Mariea Antoinette performing during cocktail hour. The celebration included lively dancing, a 360-degree photo booth, and musical performances by Leslie Odom Jr. and a surprise appearance from Deniece Williams, who sang her iconic hit “Free.”

In her interview with PEOPLE, Brown shared that her wedding serves as a reminder that “it’s never too late” to find love. Advising others to wait for a relationship that brings peace, she said, “When it’s the right person, there’s no chaos or confusion.” Brown looks forward to building a future with Davis, embracing her new chapter as “Mrs. Davis.”
