Wedding Bells In Nashville
American Idol alum Pia Toscano and partner Carmen Educate exchanged vows at Nashville’s historic Hermitage Hotel on Sunday, November 24, 2024. Sharing a radiant portrait on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/p/DJ9gxCaRpZ6/), the singer simply captioned “Mr & Mrs. Educate ♥️” to announce their new marital status.
Elegant All-white Celebration
The intimate ceremony took place in the hotel’s Grand Ballroom, which the couple styled in an all-white palette. Carmen Educate wore a timeless silhouette by Paola Estefania, while Pia stunned in a figure-skimming gown also designed by Paola Estefania. Rose Hill Flowers Nashville created lush white rose centerpieces that lined candlelit tables. The details were orchestrated by main planner @therolodexny with assistance from @eventworksny.
Musical Surprise
A highlight of the evening came as producer and multi-Grammy winner David Foster joined sister Katharine Foster to perform Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love” live as Pia walked down the aisle. The duo surprised guests, adding an emotional soundtrack to the bride’s entrance and cementing the night as both personal and unforgettable.
Behind The Scenes
Hair stylist Carly of @vol.twohairstudio and Eduardo Ponce ensured Pia’s sleek updo and Carmen’s soft waves remained picture-perfect, while makeup artist Stephen Moleskine Beauty delivered a fresh, natural glow. Photographer MaryKateSteele captured candid moments, and videographers @skylarball_ and @theknotent produced a cinematic highlight reel. TherolodexNY oversaw coordination from seating charts to entrance timing, and EventworksNY managed audio-visual setup and guest logistics.
Venue Highlights
The Hermitage Hotel, Nashville’s only Forbes Five-Star and AAA Five-Diamond property, provided a backdrop of old-world elegance. The historic Beaux-Arts landmark opened in 1910 and has hosted presidents, diplomats and entertainers. Its grand marble foyer led into a pillar-lined Gold Ballroom, complete with crystal chandeliers and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking downtown Broadway.
Pia’s Career Soars
Toscano first gained acclaim as a finalist on season 10 of American Idol in 2011. Shortly afterward, she was tapped as the lead vocalist for Cirque du Soleil’s Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour, thrilling audiences worldwide. Her debut single “This Time” charted on Billboard’s Pop Digital Songs, and she has since released an EP and collaborated with top songwriters, cementing her status as a versatile singer-songwriter.
Beauty And Wellness
In the weeks before the ceremony, Pia credited @itsnursemontana at SkinSpirit in Manhattan Beach for managing her TMJ discomfort and maintaining her post-Botox glow. “The only person I trust with a 💉,” she wrote, revealing that her last treatment was in September and she hadn’t experienced a single flare-up since.
A New Chapter
Following heartfelt vows and a candlelit dinner, guests danced late into the night to a curated live playlist. The newlyweds plan to honeymoon in the Caribbean before returning stateside to celebrate with extended family. Pia hinted at upcoming music on the horizon, writing “Can’t wait to share what’s next” in an Instagram Story.
Warm Wishes
The Instagram reveal quickly drew thousands of likes and heartfelt comments. Fans praised the couple’s style and emotional entrance, while several American Idol alumni flooded the post with messages: “So happy for you!” wrote one. The simplicity of Pia’s “Mr & Mrs. Educate ♥️” caption resonated as a genuine celebration of love.
