Strict rule at Tom Holland and Zendaya's wedding as details emerge about secret big day
It appears that Tom Holland and Zendaya recently enjoyed a lavish wedding reception – which involved a strict rule to keep the celebration a secret from the public.
The couple, who first crossed paths on the set of 2016's Spider-Man: Homecoming, have been notoriously private when it comes to details of their relationship, managing to keep key milestones such as their engagement and marriage largely hidden from the public.
And now it appears the couple have done it again, after hosting a super-secret reception with friends and family earlier this week.
According to a report from The Sun, Tom and Zendaya enjoyed a lavish bash at Surrey's Beaverbrook Hotel earlier this week.

Nestled in the picturesque Surrey Hills, the five-star hotel is a former Victorian estate which historically hosted key figures such as Winston Churchill, The Jungle Book author Rudyard Kipling and actor Elizabeth Taylor.
How Tom Holland and Zendaya were able to keep their wedding celebration a secret
Given the high profile of the couple, you'd thought that a handful of details of the day might've leaked online, right?
Turns out that is not the case, as Tom and Zendaya reportedly banned mobile phones for both guests and staff on the day.
"Tom and Zendaya went to great lengths to stop any information or pictures getting out, so neither guests nor staff were allowed their mobiles," a source claimed to The Sun.
The pair aren't the only celebrity couple to enforce a no-phone rule on their big day, with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce banning mobiles at their Madison Square Garden ceremony back in July.
The Odyssey star Holland previously confirmed the pair had tied the knot in an interview with Esquire earlier this year, when he debunked AI-generated images of the couple's 'wedding' in Lake Como.
“No, because they were all there. That’s all you’ll get on that," he said, when asked if he had to explain to family members that the images were fake.
Meanwhile, Zendaya's stylist Law Roach previously teased the ceremony during a red carpet appearance, telling reporters: "The wedding has already happened. You missed it."
