The former Love Island winner, 28, was supported by pals including Georgia Steel as she exchanged vows with the West Ham United star at the outdoor ceremony.
And in a slew of snaps and clips Dani reposted on Instagram, many of her friends and loved ones danced the night away at the glitzy wedding.
Georgia stunned in an elegant yellow lace dress as she posed with her boyfriend, Ipswich Town footballer Harry Clarke.
The star went onto share a cute image of the moment she embraced Dani as a newlywed, posting the snap on her Stories with a white heart emoji.

One sweet image showed Dani's children, son Santiago, four, who she shares with ex Sammy Kimmence, and twins Summer and Star, two, who she shares with Jarrod, glancing out the window, while their grandfather Danny Dyer watched on.
After Dani and Jarrod exchanged their vows, the couple were quick to indulge in their huge wedding cake, with the happy couple seen lifting a huge slice in a fun video, while guests watched on.
With a live band to offer music at the reception, Dani switched her £10,000 wedding gown for a fun lace mini dress as guests danced the night away.
Dani and Jarrod tied-the-knot in a lavish 'Bridgerton-themed' wedding ceremony, with the star stunning in elegant off-the-shoulder designer gown by Suzanne Neville for the outdoor ceremony.
White rose petals lined the aisle, with floral sculptures and candles creating a stunning backdrop which the bride and groom shared a kiss in front of.
Taking place in the Buckinghamshire countryside, Dani and Jarrod were joined by 50 of their closest friends and relatives.
She was walked down the aisle by her father Danny, who had promised his daughter that he would keep his speech clean.
An insider told The Sun: 'Danny and Jo were very emotional about Dani getting married. She was their first born and she was there through all the highs and lows.
'They couldn't be more proud and they love Jarrod like a son. Danny walked her down the aisle. Jo joked that they should both do it but they're keeping it traditional.
'Jo made sure Danny's speech wasn't outrageous.'
The source added that their wedding gift to their daughter was paying for her hen do and her £10,000 dress.
Dani and Jarrod's two-year-old twin daughters were flower girls, with her son Santiago, four, and brother Arty, 11, as page boys.
Guests chanted rude West Ham anthem, 'Bowen's on fire and he's sh***ing Dani Dyer,' to the 1997 hit Freed from Desire.
And Dani's sister Sunnie, 18, read a poem from Sex and The City wedding scene, which went: 'His hello was the end of her endings. Her laugh was their first step down the aisle. His hand would be hers to hold forever.
His forever was as simple as her smile. He said she was what was missing. She said instantly she knew. She was a question to be answered. And his answer was 'I do'.'
Days before the ceremony, Dani opened up about the touching role her dad Danny would play in her wedding to Jarrod.
She told of how her father and beloved EastEnders star would walk her down the aisle in a moment that would be 'filled with emotion'.
Speaking on their joint podcast, Live and Let Dyers, Dani revealed she was keeping her wedding dress a surprise from her dad until the big day to honour a special tradition.
'Have you not seen that first look when the dad sees their daughter in their dress and that? Oh, it's lovely,' she shared.
'Yeah, your dad's not meant to see it – it's a moment for the dad as well!'
Dani has had a whirlwind few months, filled with two lavish hen parties and all the excitement of getting ready for her big day.
Speaking to Heat magazine earlier this week, Dani said: 'I have finally done my table plans now. Until you are in there writing names out, making sure you have tables of 10, it's the most stressful experience ever - that's the only thing I've not enjoyed.'
Dani also revealed she will take on a double-barrell surname after the wedding, becoming Dyer-Bowen.
She said: 'I am going to keep the Dyer - I am going to do Dani Dyer-Bowen just because of my work. I feel like if I am Dani Bowen, it takes that thing away from me. We are double-barrelling it.'
The wedding will undoubtedly be an emotional day for Dani's father Danny, with the reality star saying he and West Ham star Jarrod are very close.
'We've joked so many times that Jarrod is marrying the wrong Dani Dyer!' she said.
The mother-of-three added she has really enjoyed the build up to the big day, which included a recent hen night in Ibiza with her pals.
Sparing no expense with her lavish nuptials, the bride-to-be shared a glimpse of her wild celebrations on Instagram, which included a boozy brunch, a boat trip and a raucous night in the lavish nightclub Ushuaia.
Dani and Jarrod have been dating since 2021 and share twin two-year-old daughters Summer and Star, while Dani also has son Santiago, four, with her ex-boyfriend Sammy Kimmence
A source told The Sun that Dani really splashed the cash during her hen celebrations, including a VIP night at Ushuaia that cost at least £8,000.
The insider said: 'Dani might have flown on a commercial flight but they splashed the cash when they landed.
'She spent Friday night at Ushuaia where they were on a VIP table with a minimum spend of £8,000. The next day they hired a boat to go around the coast before spending the rest of the time chilling at the Hard Rock hotel.
'Dani also had a boozy brunch at Beso Beach where her mates put on Jarrod masks and sang ABBA songs with her.
'They spent their last night at super club Hï Ibiza where they had a VIP booth. There were some sore heads when they touched down at City airport.'
Meanwhile, Jarrod jetted off to Las Vegas for his stag do as he prepared to marry the Love Island star.
Ahead of the stag, Dani admitted her fears over Jarrod's trip, with her dad Danny joking that there would be strippers.
Discussing the plans for the hen and stag parties, the daughter and father duo butted heads over one racy topic.
Explaining the timeline on their Live And Let Dyers podcast, Dani explained: 'I literally get back from my Hen on the Monday and then I get married on the Saturday. And if you can go, Jarrod gets back Thursday and then married Saturday.'
That's when Danny cheered and shouted out: 'Strippers!,' much to his daughter's dismay.
'No, you're not,' insisted Dani, who went on to explain that at a different Hen she attended, they had a butler in the buff.
Dani said: 'We had to draw him, we had to draw the naked man. It's different, it's so different. I don't care.'
Not giving in, Danny quipped: 'It's sexism this, this is sexism at its height ladies and gentlemen.'
The former Love Island star replied: 'It's not sexist, I'm just saying he was literally standing there in his apron and then you had to draw him. Then he turns around and straddles the chair.'

What in the World Why some athletes and musicians are using OnlyFans as a side hustle
OnlyFans is an online platform where people create content (photos, videos and live streams), which can be monetised. Although it hosts a variety of content across topics like fitness and cooking, OnlyFans is known widely for hosting adult content, much of it explicit. As its popularity has soared, so too has the controversy and stigma surrounding the platform. Last week, Kurts Adams Rozentals, a world-class British canoeist, revealed that he had been banned from competing by Paddle UK — the sport's governing body — after they learned he was an OnlyFans content creator. He told the BBC he started posting content because Paddle UK's annual grant of £16,000 was insufficient to cover rent, travel, food and other expenses associated with full-time training in London. BBC Business Reporter Charlotte Edwards explains exactly how the platform works and who owns it. She also gives us the latest on the embattled British canoer. Plus: Chimgozirim Nwokoma, a senior reporter for Tech Point Africa, tells us about All Access Fans — an African start-up that have taken inspiration from OnlyFans' subscription-based business model — and the reaction to it.

UFC's Tom Aspinall moving on from 'retired' Jon Jones
June 3 - Interim UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall considers Jon Jones to be retired and wants to move on. Aspinall has not stepped into the Octagon since July 27, 2024, when he successfully defended the interim title with a first round knockout of Curtis Blades. That victory avenged the lone UFC defeat for Aspinall (8-1, 15-3 overall). Aspinall's July victory and Jones' win over Stipe Miocic in November 2024 would appear to warrant a unification bout, but there has been no news in the last seven months and some are calling for Jones to be stripped of his title. Jones hasn't competed in that span. "Jon Jones is retired," Aspinall said on ESPN's "Good Guy/Bad Guy" podcast on Monday. "I want to say God bless him moving forward in what he does with his life and career. We move on. I'm the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. I'm ready to take on all comers and get this division moving again. Jones (28-1), a two-time light heavyweight champion, who won the vacant heavyweight belt in March 2023, views the situation differently than Aspinall. "The UFC, I and Tom, we all got a lot of stuff happening behind the scenes," Jones said at a seminar in Thailand while filming a reality show, according to The Independent. "They're one of the biggest organizations in sports and right now, Tom and I have agreed to wait for the UFC to make their announcements. So I legally can't really talk about it." UFC CEO Dana White has expressed optimism that the bout would take place. In November, he referred to the potential matchup "the biggest fight in heavyweight history," but, until Jones' statements in Thailand, Jones had not shown interest in fighting the Englishman. The hold-up has delayed most of the bouts between any of the top-ranked heavyweights. "The other guys don't want to fight anybody because they might be next themselves," Aspinall said. "Everybody else is scared to fight. Nobody wants to make the next move. The division is completely stuck. I am sick of the division being stuck. I'm there. I'm active. I'm getting better all the time. Just stick me in. I'm ready to fight all of them." --Field Level Media

'I might not make it': Sarah Jessica Parker on the stress of reading two books a day
Sarah Jessica Parker was the subject of some unwanted headlines over the past few weeks after saying she reads two books a day. While speculation of her reading capabilities circulates, the actress continues the challenging mountain of novels she has to get through in order to be a judge for the Booker Prize. The actress is part of a panel of judges for the literary award which announces the "Booker Dozen" of 12 or 13 books on 29 July, its shortlist on 23 September and the overall winner on 10 November. The winner receives £50,000. "I have one by my side now," Sarah Jessica tells Sky News during an interview for her show And Just Like That. "It's been hard these last two weeks because we've been promoting the show and I thought I would be able to read between interviews, but you can read two words. You can read these three sentences, so I'm feeling very anxious about how many books I have yet to read for our next deliberation," she says. The Sex And The City actress compares the workload to preparing to take an exam. "I've not ever felt this behind, including in high school. Like, I really am not entirely sure how I'm going to read the required amount of books by our next deliberation," she says. "I thought about this last night in bed, that even if I stay up every day and don't sleep, I might not make it. So I'm not sure how. I have to not make dinner for anybody, not do anybody's laundry. I have cut out all tasks. So we'll see. It's pretty fantastic, this burden is pretty wonderful." Turning to her spin-off series, she says she never paid much attention to the cultural impact Sex And The City had on portraying women in their 30s on screen without a rose-tinted lens. "I think we're just always wanting to tell interesting stories," she says. "And the rule in the writing room has been, for as long as I've known, the story can only be as far removed as one person from the writer, so every single story told has either happened to a writer or to a friend or family member or colleague of the writer." She says what makes it real is that the show deals with real moments that happen to women as they age, from children flying the nest to navigating the dating pool. "You don't flat line at 50 or 60. People are living pretty colourful, interesting, exciting lives and they have influence and authority. They're trying new things. They're leaving marriages. They're saying goodbye to kids. They're starting new jobs, they're leaving jobs, and they're getting married, they are widows, there's just endless amounts to talk about and it should be," she says. 'It is insane there aren't more shows like us' Her co-star Kristin Davis agrees and states her main hope for returning was to break certain taboos for women now in their 50s. "It is insane that there aren't more shows like us, you know? I'm hoping that there will be," she says. "It's very interesting that somehow women, especially at a certain age, you're just supposed to just vanish. I don't know where we're supposed to be and that just makes no sense." Sex And The City was 'incredibly white', says Cynthia Nixon For Cynthia Nixon, playing Miranda now as a lesbian character allowed the show to explore the challenges that face people coming out later in life and navigating the world they find themselves in. She says although Sex And The City broke taboos for white women in their 30s, she felt the original iteration of their show wasn't as reflective of the real world as it could have been. "The one thing that didn't really sit well with me in the past was how incredibly white the show was," she says. "So, I think to expand the universe of, you know, who gets to be centred in the show has been a tremendous boon. Whether you're talking about people of colour, whether you're talk about queer people, people of different ages. We used to have a wonderfully fascinating lens, but it was fairly narrow. "We've moved in our view of queer people… for so long, if you wanted to put a gay person on screen, one of the ways to make them palatable was to really emphasise their funniness and I think we have many very funny gay characters, but we're able to, I think, have a more well-rounded view of them."
