Adding to the family feel of the service, Rider, along with his father and brother, built the altar out of redwood branches taken from the woods where Rider grew up, E! News has exclusively learned.
Novelist, as well as a friend of the couple, Tod Goldberg officiated the service. Goldberg was recently selected for the new Best American Essays 2013.
Guests enjoyed beer from Rider's hometown brewery, Lagunitas, and Alex's favorite vodka, Kettle One. The wine was made at home by the parents of the groom.
Strong's favorite band, Typhoon, performed at the party, after Strong mentioned them on Twitter, according to Us Weekly.
In order to honor the fact that Rider and Alex host a regular game night in LA, they held a Running Charades game with over 70 people, and had a talent show to replace the traditional rehearsal dinner, emcee'd by The Following's Natalie Zea and Scrubs' Travis Schuldt.
Zea also served as a bridesmaid.
Days before his wedding, the 33-year-old actor couldn't stop gushing over his bride-to-be, telling E! News, "I'm incredibly lucky to be getting married to my best friend and partner in crime."
