Eddie Van Halen Gets Married
Eddie Van Halen married his publicist Janie Liszewski at his Studio City home on Saturday night.
Eddie’s son Wolfgang served as best man and his brother Alex officiated the vows.
Janie wore a champagne colored v-neck wedding dress by Hanna Hartnell, while Eddie wore white pants by Sy Devore and Mark Nason flip flops.
The couple said their vows under an altar of white roses constructed by Mark’s Garden.
Prior to the ceremony, 100 guests, including Valerie Bertinelli, enjoyed cocktails on the lawn and music provided by the Sonus Quartet.
Eddie and Janie dated for three years before tying the knot. They plan to honeymoon in New York and the Netherlands.

Ed looks happy enough to make new music.
June 28th, 2009 at 12:08 pm
I wish the new couple happiness. However I admit that I have given up all hope that we will ever see new music coming from VH.
June 28th, 2009 at 12:54 pm
i wonder if dave was there?
June 28th, 2009 at 1:06 pm
Did he solo during Here Comes the Bride?
June 28th, 2009 at 3:16 pm
Does anyone know if Diamond Dave attended the wedding?
June 28th, 2009 at 3:25 pm
Right On Ed and Jane!!!
June 28th, 2009 at 4:12 pm
Eddie has his shit together now. He’s made such great music, if he happens to make some more its just a bonus. He doesn’t have too, Has Jimmy Page made any? Eric Clapton? Jeff Beck?. All the best to you Ed, what a great family you put together. Nice to see Val was at the wedding. And people say you hold grudges!
June 28th, 2009 at 4:25 pm
I guess Dave didn’t attend the wedding. Ed didn’t even thank him when he received his Spike Award last week…
June 28th, 2009 at 4:32 pm
Andrew, Jeff Beck is still regularly making great albums.
June 28th, 2009 at 4:40 pm
Good for them! I wish them the best. I would love to have heard “Reverend Al’s” service. God bless ya Ed! Marriage is a good thing.
June 28th, 2009 at 5:14 pm
Congrats, Ed. With the marriage ceremony all done and Wolfie out of school, you should have plenty of time to make up new excuses for not recording any new albums. Cheers.
June 28th, 2009 at 6:04 pm
Now that Ed is happy, domestically, he can get back to being happy professionally by making new music and not bitching about the former memebers of his band and who did what to whom or who quit or who got fired and just stop bitching all together and get back to making music and remind us fans that he still can make music.
June 28th, 2009 at 6:12 pm
Seeing Rev. AL is hillarious, when you think of how wild he was in the old days to see that is shocking. Hope it works out for Ed, and now they can offically get to work on the new album. I hope they throw some teasers like Chickenfoot was doing while they are recording it
June 28th, 2009 at 7:57 pm
Ed and Dave have never gotten along. They just make undeniably great music together. Works for me.
May Ed and Janie spend many long years together. Congrats.
June 28th, 2009 at 8:18 pm
Again I’m asking: Where was Dave?
June 28th, 2009 at 9:12 pm
Live your life Ed…And I hope if you decide to make music its because you’re ready and ‘ready’……
June 28th, 2009 at 9:28 pm
It’s good to see eddie happy, I just hope he doesn’t screw this marriage up like he did with valerie ( he cheated on her all the time). And in regards to the people talking about new music, I think he has made enough music to last a lifetime. As def leppard says ” it’s better to burn out then fade away”.
June 28th, 2009 at 10:02 pm
Ok Ed, time to shit or get of the pot!!!! If there’s not a CD out next spring, I’m done with you. I’ll just play the oldies like I’m gonna have to do with Michael Jackson songs.
June 28th, 2009 at 11:58 pm
i’m happy for eddie!
June 29th, 2009 at 2:33 am
The guy is a musician. Music is what he is and does. He had some serious problems and thus probably inspirationally dry years also lacking dedication. Now it seems he’s getting his life back together, so in fact the next logical step would be his productivity would increase if he’s getting the love for music back after the downturn Haggar years and especially now being able to play with his son. I think something is to come. Maybe not like VHI, II and Fair Warning, but for sure the best since 1984.
Best wishes to Eddie and Janie.

Hey Rick, enough pot shots at Sam ok. For your information the Sammy years yielded the only number one albums during VH’s history. So get your facts straight before you post. We get it, you don’t likle Hagar, but his tenure was hardly the down years. Ed’s alcohol problems were responsible for the 2004 debacle. But he’s sober, happy and let’s hope for new music. Sam is doing great with CF and with Mike so let’s stop the hate and just enjoy the music from whoever makes it.
June 29th, 2009 at 3:06 am
Think about it - would the 80s sound of Van Halen survived the grunge movement of the 90s? What was great about the Hagar years was the fact that Van Halen not only survivied but flourished in an musical atmosphere that wasn’t interested in classic rock but more of the likes of Nirvana, Pearl Jam…alternative rock. Van Halen did exceedingly well to survive that - I’m not sure with Dave they could have during that time.
This wedding only says to me one thing - now Ed has done what he said he was going to do with all this pre-album action, time to get down to 5150 with the boys and get Van Halen IV out onto the shelves.
June 29th, 2009 at 3:13 am
Let’s see: They played “When It’s Love” and no mention of “Diamond” at the event…..New music with a 2010 tour? I think not….
June 29th, 2009 at 4:09 am
God bless you eddie Many years of joy and happness
June 29th, 2009 at 4:45 am
Hey Dan, I agree, this is a wedding celebration/wishes thread and shouldn’t be used to host the usual slamming. So, sorry and peace everybody
Doug, it’s a wedding, of course they aren’t playing Ain’t talkin ’bout love. When It’s Love seems more suitable and he still wrote it, so why shouldn’t he play it. I don’t think that would mean a particular message. And why should he thank Dave at his wedding? What’s the connection? I think that Dave wasn’t particularly mentioned doesn’t mean anything. And you know Dave, maybe he was invited but busy doing something else or being somewhere else, for all we know.
June 29th, 2009 at 5:30 am
Back up a minute folks. Am I the only one who has been wondering since this wedding was announced months ago about Alex? When did Alex became an ordained minister? And minister of what? I gots to know … Scientology? Some Buddhist thing? I doubt it is of the Christian variety (although the brothers were raised Catholic), because you don’t exactly become a minister overnight, unless you buy a Reverendhood from some place like Jim Jones University.
So, VHND - come on. Do some digging on this one, please. How and when did Al become ordained?
June 29th, 2009 at 5:33 am
Congrats Eddie!!!!!! <3
June 29th, 2009 at 5:40 am
Actually Corey, it was Neil Young who originally said “it’s better to burn out than fade away”, but that’s ok, I forgive you.
A colossal congrats goes out to Ed and Janie!!! Make this marriage #1 in your life, and all happiness will follow in all other aspects of your life. I suspect we are going to hear some happy songs soon!!!
June 29th, 2009 at 7:13 am
There were 99 wedding guests who weren’t listed (Val being the one exception - listed because she’s the ex wife) so maybe, just maybe for all you doom and gloomers - Dave was there, and just not listed by the celebrity news reporter. Not everything in the world revolves around whether or not Van Halen are going to get back in the studio and record another album, so I don’t find it suprising that even if Dave was there, that he wasn’t mentioned. This was about family, and even if Dave and Ed are tight again, he is still not family. So congrats Ed and Janie, and best of luck! It is great to see Ed looking healthy and happy.
June 29th, 2009 at 7:37 am
Maybe Dave was busy in the jungle, doing his old routine.
2010 is going to be a great VH year, a mighty VH-year.
June 29th, 2009 at 8:07 am
Doug come on man! What song you want them to play at a wedding?
Girl gone bad,valery’s crying or dirty movie?
“When is love” is the cheesiest song from VH ,so good enough for a wedding!
June 29th, 2009 at 8:36 am
Congrats Eddie and Janie!
(*Janie is a looker ed!
)
Hope this marriage brings the man the peace he deserves and the energy to get back in the studio!
I’m not gonna even bother reading the other posts regarding this….dont feel like getting aggrivated monday morning!
The BEST to you both Ed!

Top picture…
What’s Reverand Al looking at?
June 29th, 2009 at 2:35 pm
can the news desk find out if dave was there,or if he had a prior commitment.
June 29th, 2009 at 6:49 pm
This is a music site. Not a wedding site.
June 29th, 2009 at 7:06 pm
Congratulations Eddie! Hope you found happiness.
June 29th, 2009 at 7:22 pm
First of all stop all the dang Sammy bashing, this is a WEDDING THREAD, not a BASH SAM AND MIKE thread. Congrats to ED and Janie, he doesn’t have to make new music in order to prove anything, he is happy right now, so let’s just all be happy for him.
Secondly, as far as new music and a tour are concerned, so far he has kept to his words, he said he was gonna let Wolfie graduate and get married, then see what happens after that, so maybe he is on the phone with the rest of the guys now, who knows. If he is, he is, if not, then so what, he is happy now, so just leave him, and the rest of the group alone, please.
June 29th, 2009 at 7:24 pm
