In a statement to NBC News, Michael LaRosa, spokesman for the first lady, confirmed that the couple and families are still in the early planning stages of the event.
“The First Family, the couple, and their parents are still in the planning stages of all of the wedding festivities and look forward to announcing further details in the coming months,” LaRosa said in a statement. “Consistent with other private events hosted by the First Family and following the traditions of previous White House wedding festivities in prior Administrations, the Biden family will be paying for the wedding activities that occur at the White House.”

In January 2021, Jenna sat down with Naomi, Biden’s daughter Ashley and his grandchildren Finnegan, Maisy and Natalie. The family spoke about their close bond with the commander-in-chief.
“That’s something that I feel like some people don’t believe when we say that he literally calls, not just, like, one of us every few days,” Maisy said. “He calls me, then calls Naomi, then he calls Finn, then he calls Natalie, then he calls Ashley, and then he calls little Hunter.”
At the time, Naomi also shared that she was happy her grandparents were moving into the White House.
“I’m really excited that they’ll be just a few miles away from my apartment, so I can go steal some free food from the kitchen,” she said with a laugh.
