The 28-year-old multimillionaire and his new wife held their ceremony at the Grand Del Mar hotel less than three months after he won his second straight NBA title with Miami Heat. A ceremony was said to have been held in the hotel's Capella Chapel at 4.30pm, with celebrations lasting three days.
Celebration organized by celebrity wedding planner who oversaw Sean Parker’s $10 million 'Lord of the Rings'-themed wedding in June Jay Z and Beyonce and James' Miami Heat teammate Dwyane Wade on guest list.

The high school sweethearts, who have two children, announced their engagement in January last year.
Guests, including James's teammate Dwayne Wade, Beyoncé and Jay-Z, were welcomed to the wedding on Friday, with a barbecue and the festivities are expected to last until a farewell brunch on Sunday.Other guests including Wade's girlfriend Gabrielle Union, and NBA players Chris Paul and Carmelo Anthony, according to People.
Hotel staff and pretty much everyone involved with the wedding were asked to sign non-disclosure agreements, but one tell-tale sign about the venue is about to host something out of the ordinary is the large tent that's been erected outside.
King James' big day was expected be a slightly more muted affair. The guest list was expected to only number in the hundreds, rather than the thousands that have attended some NBA All-Star’s nuptials.
‘He cut the list down because he didn’t want to have 1,000 people at the wedding,’ a source told the New York Post. This weekend’s wedding also clashes with Yom Kippur, the Jewish day of atonement.
Guests started receiving their ‘save the weekend’ cards, which featured an illustration of the happy couple along with their two kids, back in March.The reception is expected to include cocktails, dinner and dancing to DJs and a live band, as well as an after-party in a different part of the resort.

Other guests are expected to include LeBron’s longtime manager Maverick Carter, New York Knicks star Carmelo Anthony plus wife La La Anthony, Miami Heat president Pat Riley and head coach Erik Spoelstra.
The lovebirds, who live in an enormous $9 million mansion in Miami's Coconut Grove, have dated since high school and got engaged on New Years Eve 2011. They have two sons: LeBron Jr., 11, and Bryce, 6.
King James’ fiance has purposefully sought to shun the limelight for much of his career, but since their engagement was announced has started to engage more with the press and media.
'People will say I'm doing this for attention and now that I'm getting married, I'm coming out from behind his shadow, but I just thought it was time. I'm letting these girls know that I'm confident, showing them my personal growth, and maybe it will help them as well.'Congratulations to the happy couple!
