From the New York Post: A cadre of MAGA bigwigs descended on Mar-a-Lago Sunday for White House deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino’s star-studded wedding to US embassy art director Erin Elmore — including President Trump himself.
“That’s a big day! Very loyal, very fantastic people,” Trump told reporters ahead of the ceremony.
The wedding marked the second of back-to-back ceremonies at President Trump’s Florida properties, after podcast maven Alex Bruesewitz tied the knot with former Miss Nevada USA Carolina Urrea at Trump National Doral Miami on Saturday.
Trump, tech baron Elon Musk, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Fox News host Sean Hannity, and more attended the ceremony on a chilly day in Florida.
Several members of Trump’s family are also attending Scavino’s wedding Sunday afternoon, along with many other members of the Trump administration.
Scavinio announced in a post on X Saturday, “Was just informed President Trump is wheels down in Palm Beach, Florida to attend our wedding tomorrow at Mar-a-Lago—THANK YOU POTUS Trump, a true honor! THANK YOU to all family and friends who joined us tonight in Palm Beach—We love you all!!!”
As Trump arrived for the wedding, he told reporters, “We have a big day… Dan, Erin — they’re getting married. That’s a big day! Very loyal, very fantastic people.”

In the wee hours of the morning Sunday, Scavino posted a photo on Facebook and wrote, “BEHIND THE SCENES—We’re about 10 hours away from a celebration like no other! We’re beyond grateful for family, friends, and colleagues from across America!”
Scavino, 50, from New York, is one of President Trump’s most trusted, longtime aides. He first met Donald Trump in 1990 while he was a freshman in college and worked as a caddie and bag room assistant at Briar Hall Country Club. The Country Club was later acquired by Trump and renamed the Trump National Golf Club Westchester. In January 2004 Scavino became the club’s assistant manager, was promoted to general manager in April 2006, and then executive vice president in September 2008.
When Trump announced his 2016 presidential campaign in June 2015, Scavino came on board to work for the campaign, and has remained by the president’s side ever since, serving in the White House all four years of the first term, supporting Trump as an advisor throughout the four years he was out of the White House and through his 2024 campaign. Scavino then returned as White House Deputy Chief of Staff when Trump was inaugurated back into office in January 2025.
Scavino has two sons with his first wife, Jennifer Scavino, who he was married to from 2000 until 2018.
Elmore, 48, a Philadelphia native, is a lawyer, a former television reporter, and former contestant on the reality show, The Apprentice. She has also worked as a Republican strategist, and was an executive director of USA Strong. Elmore was previously married to Craig M. Spitzer, and they have one child.
Congratulations to Dan and Erin on your gorgeous wedding today and your very special blended family. Dina and I could see sparks the first time we saw you together, and we wish you a lifetime of joy, many blessings, and endless love. pic.twitter.com/eVGgUEkQWr
