Champion's father officiated the service, held with the Rocky Mountains in the background. The couple chose understated décor, with white chairs and arrangements of roses and hydrangeas. "I was a little terrified of bees, so I wanted to avoid anything too elaborate," Champion said with a laugh.

The bride wore a custom silk wool gown by Danielle Frankel featuring a high neckline, deep V back, and overskirt lined with hand-painted details. She paired it with tulle gloves, a fingertip veil, diamond studs, and a pearl ring. Schwarzenegger wore a white tuxedo jacket with black pants. Guests included Arnold Schwarzenegger, Maria Shriver, Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt, and Chris Pratt.

Following the ceremony, guests traveled by boat to the Hagadone Event Center for cocktails and dinner. Family speeches preceded the dancing, where Champion changed into a second Frankel creation — a hand-painted floral gown with pearl trim, cascading organza, and a matching scarf — styled with ballet flats and pearl earrings designed by bridesmaid Kelsey Kershner.

The wedding capped a three-day celebration. On Thursday, September 4, 2025, the couple hosted a farm-to-table rehearsal dinner, where Champion wore a Zimmerman gown and Schwarzenegger a powder-blue Tom Ford suit. A Western-themed barbecue at Gozzer Ranch followed on Friday, with the bride in a lace Bec + Bridge dress, cowboy boots, and a black hat.
Schwarzenegger and Champion met in Los Angeles in 2015 and announced their engagement in 2023 after a sunrise proposal during a beach walk in Santa Monica.
