Just last month, on Oct. 16, Burrell and Claxton said their “I dos” in a beautiful fall ceremony atWindridge Estates Redbarn 20in Cazenovia, N.Y., Burrell’s hometown.
“Everything was magical,” Burrell told Rachael Ray (who served as a bridesmaid!) onThe Rachael Ray Showafter the ceremony. “I was like, ‘I want the fairy tale! I’m only going to be a bride once!'”
She certainly got her fairy tale, arriving down the aisle in a horse and carriage.
“I don’t care about the cheese factor. Every time I mention the horse and carriage Stuart laughs a little bit,” Burrell told PEOPLE before the wedding, “and I’m like, ‘Alright, whatever. It’s my moment and I mean to have it.’ "

“They were gracious to allow me to write the menu,” she said onRachael Ray, noting that they “did an excellent job executing it” on her special day.
The final menu celebrated all the flavors of fall and its seasonal vegetables. For a starter, guests were served a roasted cauliflower steak with cauliflower puree, crispy potato shoestrings with creme fraiche, and caviar. The pasta course was a goat cheese and pumpkin ravioli in a sage butter sauce, with frizzled brussels sprouts leaves, toasted pumpkin seeds, and pumpkin seed oil. And for the entree, they were gifted a duo plate of braised short ribs with a celery root and parsnip puree, and herb and potato crusted halibut on a bed of spaghetti squash, with Tuscan kale and pistachio pesto.
“We had talked about a carrot cake, and Buddy was like, ‘Eh, that’s good, but what about a zucchini cake?'” Burrell told PEOPLE. “So we’re doing a zucchini cake for one flavor, and then the other flavor is olive oil, lemon, and rosemary.”
Burrell and Claxton, who met on the dating app Bumble in 2018,got engaged in April 2020while quarantining with her family in Cazenovia.
This is Burrell’s first marriage, though shewas previously engagedto fellow chef Koren Grieveson in 2012. Javier was Claxton’s best man in the wedding last month.
