Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos’ lavish Venice wedding featured Ellie Goulding, who performed at Prince William and Kate Middleton’s royal reception in 2011.
Lauren Sánchez Bezos and Jeff Bezos’ lavish three-day wedding celebration shared a surprising connection to the royal nuptials of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
On June 27, Ellie Goulding sang at the billionaire and the former entertainment reporter’s wedding reception on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, Italy, according to People magazine. The British singer previously gave a performance at William and Kate’s second wedding reception after they tied the knot April 29, 2011, in London.
The Prince and Princess of Wales shared their first dance while Goulding sang her cover of Elton John’s 1971 hit «Your Song.»
Goulding also performed «Your Song» at Bezos and Sánchez’s star-studded bash Friday. Famed opera singer Andrea Bocelli’s son, Matteo Bocelli, sang a cover of Elvis Presley’s «Can’t Help Falling in Love» as the newlyweds’ first dance song.
William and Kate’s first wedding reception was a lunchtime affair thrown by the late Queen Elizabeth II while King Charles hosted the pair’s second, more intimate wedding reception in the Throne Room at Buckingham Palace.
