Although the invitation given to guests said they would be going to the pair's 'marriage' it emerged yesterday that they had actually wed the day before in a private civil ceremony at the castle.
That did not stop 41-year-old Hurley from throwing an extravagant affair to celebrate her nuptials. She arrived in the morning and had a team of four hairdressers, three make-up artists and a dresser to help her prepare. Nayar, 42, arrived at 3.15pm in a blue Bentley.
The perimeter of the castle was protected by security guards who stopped passers-by walking along footpaths that were too close to the walls.
The couple were determined to protect their lucrative Hello! magazine, rumoured to be worth £2m, that gives the publication exclusive rights to photographs inside the party, set in a white marquee on the castle's grounds.
Afterwards Hurley and Nayar will take guests to Mumbai where there will be a week of events, including a traditional Hindu ceremony and cricket match.

Pete Doherty and his model girlfriend Kate Moss left the Shockwaves NME Awards 2007 early tonight (March 1).
The couple were were asked to leave the ceremony by security after a series of incidents at the ceremony held at Hammersmith Palais.
According to a source who spoke to NME.COM on the condition of remaining anonymous, the couple got into trouble after becoming too amorous for the security personel's liking.
The source said the loved-up pair were first caught trying to get into the venue's toilets together and were later caught in an alleyway at the back of the building together.
The anonymous source said: "Pete and Kate were trying to get into the premises' toilets but they were removed by the bouncers and told to go back to their table.
"Later they were both caught in a dark alleyway at the back of the building. So we got their own security guards to put them in a car and take them home."
In "Secrets of a Hollywood SuperMadam," an autobiography due in bookstores Thursday, Gibson names two dozen celebrities she says patronized her call-girl service.

Worried that a negative stereotype of the sorority was contributing to a decline in membership that had left its Greek-columned house here half empty, Delta Zeta’s national officers interviewed 35 DePauw members in November, quizzing them about their dedication to recruitment. They judged 23 of the women insufficiently committed and later told them to vacate the sorority house.
The 23 members included every woman who was overweight. They also included the only black, Korean and Vietnamese members. The dozen students allowed to stay were slender and popular with fraternity men — conventionally pretty women the sorority hoped could attract new recruits. Six of the 12 were so infuriated they quit.
If you read in between the lines of the news story, it's fabulous: they kicked out a computer science major with the research skills to go track down evidence of past discrimination in the library; a junior with the organizational skills and chutzpah to put together an open meeting at the student union to tell the DePauw student body what had really happened; and the editor of the DePauw student paper (what were they thinking?!?).
This post by Xan Brooks is the funniest damn thing I've read in days.....
7.40pm: "I was just backstage drinking with Jack Nicholson and Al Gore," says George Clooney. "I don't think he's running for president."
Clooney is here to hand out the Oscar for best supporting actress. His line is funny, but it is effortlessly trumped by the response of Dreamgirls' Jennifer Hudson, which is purely hilarious. "Oh God," she screams. "Look what God can do."
Needless to say this raises all kinds of theological issues. Principal among these is that if God's greatest miracle is His ability to bestow supporting actress Oscars on losing American Idol contestants, then one wonders if He is using His time as wisely as He might.
What God cannot do, apparently, is extend J-Hud's time at the podium. The music soars and drowns out her tears.
Until now "Brand Beckham" has not been as strong in the US as in the rest of the world, but all that appears to be changing since the iconic athlete signed to promote Wheaties. By appearing on packaging for the product, which dubs itself "the breakfast of champions", Becks follows in the footsteps of one of his greatest sporting idols, Michael Jordan.
