The champagne and margaritas were flowing late into the night for around 150 of their nearest and dearest at the Victoria and Albert Museum in Chelsea.
A source told me: 'It was quite an intimate affair initially — they had a nice dinner with their closest friends and family to kick things off.
"Then more of their loved ones turned up to celebrate with them in style later in the evening.
'They all had a brilliant time and Mabel and Preye looked so in love.'
I'm told TV presenter Miquita Oliver — who Mabel has previously described as her 'big sister' — as well as her telly chef mum Andi Oliver, were among those celebrating at the V&A, which usually costs at least £10,000 to hire for wedding parties.
Mabel got engaged to Preye, son of former Spurs footballer Garth Crooks, last November.
After Preye popped the question, she proudly showed off her sparkling diamond ring in a video online.
In January she revealed their relationship is the 'healthiest' one she has ever been in.
Mabel also said recently that her mum, Swedish singer Neneh Cherry, 'just cries all the time' out of excitement about her wedding.
But it sounds like her dad, singer and producer Cameron McVey, might have been harder to impress — as he was not best pleased with one of her exes.

Earlier this month on YouTube series Comfortably Speaking, Mabel revealed: 'One time a guy pulled up to my dad's house in a Lamborghini and I remember my dad just being like, 'Never bring a man to my house again until you're serious'.'
She added of her parents: 'I think the thing that they are proudest of is that I'm more able to be myself and express myself.'
Mabel and Preye are obviously in Mad Love — and I for one couldn't be happier for them.

I'm 19 and my sister hasn't invited me to her 'child-free' wedding but STILL expects a gift. Am I wrong for being furious?
A bride has been blasted online for expecting a wedding gift from her 19-year-old half sister - even though she banned her from the big day. The bitter family feud was laid bare in a now-viral Reddit post, where the younger sibling revealed she'd been left off the invite list for her sister's wedding because she's a teen. She later received an unsolicited link to the bride's lavish gift registry. Confused by the unexpected message, the teen messaged her asking if it was in fact her registry link. 'What else could it possibly be?' her older sister responded curtly. When the younger woman asked why it was sent to her, the bride replied: '??? You're my sister'. That's when her sibling pointed out the obvious - that she wasn't invited to the wedding. The bride, undeterred, claimed that it is common for people who can't make a wedding to still give the happy couple a gift. A bride has been blasted online for expecting a wedding gift from her 19-year-old half sister - even though she banned her from the big day The college student, who did not name herself didn't hold back. 'Can't make it =/= not invited,' she wrote. As it transpired, the real reason for the older sister had left her off the invite list was because it was a 'child-free wedding'. 'I'm a fully grown adult,' her sister argued. A defence for the argument, with both based in America, could be the view that the 19-year-old is a minor in regard to the country-wide drinking law of over 21. To which the younger sibling then pointed out the irony of the situation, writing that they were having a dry wedding - so it really shouldn't matter. Things quickly spiralled with the bride dismissing the argument altogether. Still standing her ground, the teen reiterated that she was an adult. And like many sibling quarrels, the exchange got rather petty with each trying to have the last word But the bride doubled down. 'It's my wedding and you're a teenager. It's clear by your reaction to my own wedding you are not mature enough to attend adult events or exist in adult spaces,' she said. Naturally, the exchange sparked a frenzy online, with thousands rushing to the teen's defence and labelling the bride 'entitled' and 'completely out of touch'. 'It's customary if you can't make it - not if you aren't invited at all. Your sister is delusional,' one Reddit user declared. 'And children aren't expected to give gifts at a wedding, regardless of whether they're invited.' 'This is the perfect response,' one said of the teen's blunt messages. 'And yes, OP needs to drag the parents into this too. Bridezilla is their creation.' Others were equally savage. 'Sis is being a child, who needs an etiquette lesson,' one wrote. 'Who begs a college kid for a gift and throws a hissy fit when she gets a reasonable no?' 'This is one of the craziest things I've ever seen. Older teens aren't children regarding being invited to a wedding - and mine was child free,' one more added. While the bride may have been expecting an air fryer or a fancy blender, it seems all she received was a viral roasting and a lesson in wedding etiquette. More hilariously, it was all courtesy of a Gen Z sibling who doesn't suffer fools (or unsolicited registries) lightly. And like many sibling quarrels, the exchange got rather petty with each trying to have the last word. 'It's my money. Not getting a gift. And begging for expensive crap from a broke college student is cringe as hell,' the younger sister wrote. 'You're being immature and unsupportive,' the bride replied. The final reply was perhaps the pettiest of all. '*Fart noises*,' the youngest wrote. 'My point stands,' the eldest concluded.

Kettering's Wicksteed Park 'different' to Universal's plans
The managing director of one of the UK's oldest theme parks said it would continue to offer something "different" as plans for a Universal Studio nearby this year, an appeal was launched to save Wicksteed Park, in Kettering, Northamptonshire - founded in 1921 - amid "unprecedented financial difficulties".Universal has sought planning permission for a new attraction in Bedford, about an hour away, which could feature some of the biggest rides in Richardson said the two parks could not be compared "like with like", and said Wicksteed was "very different to thrill-seeking parks". Visitors currently enjoy free access to the 291-acre (114-hectare) park, but must pay for parking and individual also offers venues for weddings and parties and also Kettering's Parkrun."Not everyone comes here for the rides," said Ms Richardson."Universal is going to be a major park with high-octane fully immersive ride experiences. "For many people it will be a once in a generation visit. "The beauty of Wicksteed Park is that it's free to enter, you can visit as many times as you like and have a different experience every time you come here." Despite its financial worries, Ms Richardson said charging people to access the parkland "would be the last thing we would want to do".She said: "We're not unique in experiencing those [financial challenges]. "Across the industry there are recent reports of theme parks in the UK closing down. "We've always relied on tickets and wristbands to the rides and attractions [to] generate enough income to keep this wonderful green open space open for free - and that's getting harder and harder."The park in Kettering was founded in 1921 by Charles Wicksteed. It has created fond memories for generations of people from the has also been a centre for theme park log flume - opened in 1926 - is said to be one of the oldest water-based rides in the world.
