Married at Devon Yacht Club

John Augustine Wick and Madeline Katherine Chiavini were married on the dock at the Devon Yacht Club in Amagansett on June 2. Rabbi Kyle Cotler, a friend of the couple, officiated, and a reception with dinner and dancing followed on the yacht club deck. 

The groom is the son of Deborah and Robert Wick of Amagansett. The bride’s parents are Margaret and Paul Chiavini of Reno, Nev.

Mr. Wick grew up sailing with his family at the yacht club. At sunset on his wedding day, he and his father retired the colors there. 

The groom is an analyst covering the consumer sector at Balyasny Asset Management in New York City, a multistrategy hedge fund. He holds a bachelor’s degree in mathematical economics from Pomona College in California. His wife is a vice president at Almanac Realty Investors, a private equity firm in New York. She has an undergraduate degree in economics and liberal studies from the University of Notre Dame, a master’s degree in commerce from the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, and another master’s degree in finance from Claremont McKenna College in California.

They live on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.

The bride’s uncle Paul Marshall Solomon played acoustic guitar for the wedding ceremony, and the bride walked down the aisle to Pachelbel’s Canon in D. She wore a silk off-the-shoulder gown by Suzanne Neville in London and a replica of the cap and veil her paternal grandmother, Rosemarie Chiavini, wore at her 1953 wedding to Bruno Chiavini. Her sister, Sofia Chiavini, sang Nat King Cole’s “Unforgettable” for the bride’s dance with her father. Her relatives had traveled from as far away as Gubbio, Italy, to attend the wedding. 

The couple met while working in Century City in Los Angeles. They are on safari in the Serengeti in Tanzania for their honeymoon, and there they plan to witness a wildebeest migration.
