Former Bachelor Joey Graziadei and his fiancée, Kelsey Anderson, are making moves with their wedding plans.
“It’s coming. We did finally get a date, we’ve got a location [and] we got a venue,” Joey, 30, exclusively told Us Weekly at HGTV’s Bachelor Mansion Makeover event on Thursday, March 12. “We’re just kind of finalizing all that. We can’t share where and when yet.”
Joey, who teased that their big day would be “next year,” is also hoping to have a “big celebration” with their nearest and dearest.
“We want to be able to celebrate us and what we’ve been able to build over these last few years, and just really, really enjoy a day that’s supposed to be about celebrating our love,” Joey told Us, adding that he and Kelsey, 27, will “have some” wedding guests from Bachelor Nation. “We’ll definitely have Kaity [Biggar] and Zach [Shallcross] and Charity [Lawson] and Dotun [Olubeko] because they’ve been so pivotal for us, helping us through our whole experience.”
He continued, “They went through it before we did, we’ve had so many people in the Bachelor Nation world that we’ve been able to lean on, and we’re excited for them to be a part of our day.”
Joey and Kelsey got engaged at the end of his season 28 of The Bachelor, which aired in 2024. Joey was named the lead after appearing on Charity’s season of The Bachelorette, in which she accepted a proposal from Dotun, 33, and left the former tennis pro standing solo as runner-up. Charity, 30, had previously competed on Zach’s season, which is where she also met Kaity, 31. (Kaity and Zach, 29, got married in 2025, while Charity and Dotun are currently planning their nuptials.)
As for Joey and Kelsey, they are excited for their big day to finally arrive.
“I just want, like, the best party ever,” Kelsey told Us on Thursday. “I just want all of our friends and family that we love so much [and who have] been there so much for us to be there. I don’t really have this grand picture of specifics, but I just want to be very romantic and fun.”
Kelsey and the Dancing With the Stars season 33 champ took a break from wedding planning on Thursday to celebrate HGTV premiere of Bachelor Mansion Takeover, in which franchise alums compete on weekly episodes to renovate each room in the iconic residence for a $100,000 prize.
“I’m so excited to explore inside and see the difference of the Bachelor Mansion now,” Kelsey added of the renovations. “But the outside, I mean, [is] iconic as always. Walking up, it’s so funny, I was, like, ‘It kind of looks a little smaller than I remember.’”
Bachelor Mansion Takeover airs Mondays at 8 p.m. EDT on HGTV and streams the next day on HBO Max.
