Vicky Pattison and Ercan Ramadan's Wedding: Everything You Need To Know
Vicky Pattison, known for her role in Geordie Shore and other reality TV shows, tied the knot with her long-time partner, Ercan Ramadan, in two unforgettable weddings. From the chic civil ceremony in London to the lavish destination wedding in Italy, we've got everything you need to know about one of the biggest celebrity weddings of the year.
Vicky Pattison looked stunning in a full lace bridal gown as she shared her first photo from her Italian wedding to Ercan Ramadan.
Vicky, 36, officially married Ercan, 30, at Marylebone Town Hall in August (24/08/2024) and married again in a lavish destination wedding ceremony in Puglia, Italy, on Wednesday (25/09/24).
The Wedding Venues in London and Italy
Vicky and Ercan's wedding journey began with a chic civil ceremony at the iconic Old Marylebone Town Hall in London. Known for its classic and intimate setting, this venue was the perfect choice for their understated yet elegant legal marriage.
But the main wedding celebration took place at Castello Monaci, a stunning castle on the Amalfi Coast. Italy is a destination that holds special memories for them. Italy has always been a favourite for Vicky and Ercan, having visited the country together for romantic getaways. The breathtaking views of the Mediterranean, combined with the castle’s historic charm, created a magical backdrop for their dream destination wedding.
Speaking exclusively to Rock My Wedding earlier this year, Vicky told us: "Choosing Italy was easy. Ercan is Turkish Cypriot, and he initially wanted to marry in Cyprus, but Italy has always been special to us. We visited Rome when we first started dating, and we’ve had so many beautiful holidays there. Plus, pizza, pasta, and the Amalfi Coast? It’s a dream come true."
Vicky Pattison's Wedding Dresses
Vicky Pattison didn't settle for just one dress for her big day. The reality star wore several different bridal outfits across her two weddings, ensuring each moment was as stylish as it was special.
For her London civil ceremony at Marylebone Town Hall, Vicky opted for a chic, city-inspired look. The dress featured a sleek and elegant design, perfect for the intimate setting. In true 60s style, she paired her outfit with a short veil and large white sunglasses, channeling a retro vibe that suited the occasion perfectly.
The destination wedding in Italy saw Vicky wearing a long lace wedding dress. Described as a show-stopper, the Italian-inspired gown was created by bridal designer, Lady Gloria. With its intricate detailing, this dress was a perfect reflection of Vicky’s glamorous style and the romantic setting of the Amalfi Coast.
Previously speaking to Rock My Wedding, Vicky revealed: "I have four dresses! There's one for the London civil ceremony, one for the welcome dinner in Italy, one for the wedding itself, and one for the evening reception. I thought I’d go for a big princess dress, but I ended up falling in love with something totally unexpected. My main wedding dress is by Lady Gloria, and it’s very Italian, very chic."
Taking to Instagram after her London civil ceremony, Vicky posted: "A moment for the dress... 👰🏻♀️🤍🥹
"From a sketch to real life 🥹 I have always been a fan of @suzanneneville- she is an artist and her designs always make women feel amazing!! Over the years I've been lucky enough to wear some of her pieces on various red carpets and her work never fails to make me feel like a princess 👑 🥹
"Wearing a bespoke @suzanneneville wedding dress has been a dream of mine for years, one that Suzanne the her incredible team graciously made a reality last weekend 😍 We wanted something fun and feminine, something that I felt beautiful in for Marylebone but could also party the night away in!! And what she created was perfect for our big London celebrations... and I'm so grateful ☺️🤍
"Thankyou @suzanneneville and your wonderful girlies... love you all 🥹🤍".
And again after her Italian wedding, sharing: "A moment for the dress.... 🤍✨
We went for a @leahdagloria original from @theweddingclubofficial fitted expertly by @chalkwhitebridal for my ceremony dress and it was perfect.. 👰🏻♀️
I felt like an Italian princess, @ercan_ram even cried when he saw me 🥹💍 I think the veil created the drama like a venue like @castellomonaci really deserved and my flowers were my @amieboneflowers of course ✨🤍

Speaking to us about her bridal beauty prep, Vicky said: "I want to feel my best for the wedding, but I’m not going on some wild diet. I’m focused on feeling strong, glowing, and healthy. I’ve been getting Profhilo treatments, which hurt more than anything I’ve ever experienced, but the results are worth it. I’m also growing my hair out because I want it to look as healthy as possible, even though I’ll definitely add a couple of clip-ins on the day - I am a Geordie, after all!"
Speaking to us earlier this year about her wedding budget, Vicky admitted she had to make cutbacks due to the escalating price and that her initial wedding budget 'wouldn't even cover the flowers'.
"I knew weddings were a big money business and, like I say, it's not my first rodeo in this space, but everything's just got more and more expensive. I was really shocked," she said.
"Ercan has this huge Turkish family, and it's hard because you can’t invite one cousin without the whole extended family. We had to be quite strict with the guest list since it’s a destination wedding. We managed to get it down to around 120 people, but it’s crept up to 150."
She added: "I don't want to be paying it off for the next ten years, or remortgaging my house for a wedding."
"I gave what I thought was a healthy budget to my wedding planner," said Vicky. "But when she looked at it, she told me, ‘Everything you want isn’t possible for this budget.’ Weddings are just so expensive. We’ve had to adjust our expectations, but I’m okay with it. At the end of the day, I just want to be in Italy, in a nice dress, surrounded by the people I love."
And Vicky's advice for brides-to-be? Get a wedding planner. "Our wedding planner has been a godsend," she said. "She’s honest, experienced, and knows how to manage expectations. And don’t stress too much about the details. At the end of the day, what matters most is that I’m marrying the love of my life, surrounded by our friends and family. That’s all I care about."
The entire wedding has been captured for E4's new series, Vicky Pattison: My Big Fat Geordie Wedding, which airs in October.
