Mabel Weds Preye Crooks in Star-Studded London Ceremony with 150 Guests

Mabel has married her fiancé Preye Crooks in a London ceremony over the weekend.

The singer, 29, tied the knot with the music executive after spending five figures on hiring the ictoria and Albert Museum in Chelsea to host 150 guests.

According to the Sun, guests including Miquita Oliver and her mother Andi partied the night away drinking drinking champagne and margaritas.

An insider told the publication: ‘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.’

The venue typically costs around £10,000 to hire for wedding parties.

The couple got engaged in November last year. Preye is the son of former Spurs footballer Garth Crooks.

After Preye popped the question, she proudly showed off her sparkling diamond ring in a video online.

They celebrated with a huge party as the couple were joined by family and friends, with one pal sharing a glimpse of the bash to TikTok.

Mabel, who’s full name is Mabel Alabama-Pearl McVey, looked sensational in a pink silk gown and couldn’t wipe the smile off her face as she showed off her huge diamond ring which was custom-designed at Jewelry Palace – a family owned company in Los Angeles.

Meanwhile Preye, who has been dating the singer since 2021, cut a dapper figure as he made a speech to mark the occasion.

The couple looked happier than ever as they slow danced surrounded by rose petals and candles while their guests cheered.

In the gushing post their friend Fet Bakare wrote: ‘Whenever you spoke about her, I knew you really loved her. It was very clear from the start, just how deeply you felt for her’. 

‘With any and everything you did, you put her first and I learnt a lot from you in that sense and I’m blessed to have seen your relationship blossom and fluorish, To happily ever after for you both’.

Sony music A&R Preye also runs the Strawberries & Creem Festival and is the son of former BBC sports pundit Garth Crooks, 66. 

Meanwhile Mabel is the daughter of Swedish singer Neneh Cherry, who has released six studio albums; the first of which, Raw Like Sushi, reached number three in the UK Albums chart.

She has been nominated for a Grammy Award and has two Brit Awards under her belt – and while her daughter Mabel is certainly catching up to her mother, the young singer hasn’t quite reached Neneh’s heights yet.

Her debut single Finders Keepers, released in 2017, reached number eight on the UK Singles Chart.

This was followed up two years later with the release of her album High Expectations at number three in the Albums Chart – which later went platinum.

In 2020, just three years after bursting onto the scene, she won a Brit Award for British Female Solo Artist. 

In 2018, her musician mother Neneh spoke about nurturing her daughter Mabel in the music industry, revealing she is in awe of her. 

The songstress spoke of the then 21-year-old’s success and reflected on motherhood, in an interview with the Evening Standard Magazine admitting she wasn’t always ’emotionally accessible’. 

She said: ‘Mabel is unbelievable and so focused and it’s hard out there. 

‘She gets up sometimes and she’s doing two or three sessions a day. I’m in awe of her and so I try to support her with basic mum things, like making her a take-out lunch.’ 

Mabel previously insisted she doesn’t want her parents’ help when it comes to her own music career.

‘When I was in my teens, and was like, ‘I really want to do music’,’ she told the publication. I felt quite embarrassed by being my mum and dad’s daughter. I thought, ‘People will never take me seriously’.’
