Imagine spending $42 MILLION on a wedding.
Picture this: You're famous. You have all the money in the world. AND you're engaged. Do you go big with your wedding, like Priyanka and Nick?
...Or do you literally go home?
Different celebs choose VERY different options for their weddings. Some are lavish ceremonies befitting of their celeb status and some are backyard or courthouse weddings in their day clothes. Here are 10 of the most lavish vs. 11 of the most chill celeb weddings!
1. Low-key: Ed Sheeran and Cherry Seaborn
Sheeran married his longtime girlfriend Cherry Seaborn in a secret ceremony in early 2019. Sheeran described it as a “tiny affair, with hardly anyone there,” on “a random day in the middle of January, in the middle of nowhere. … No one knew, no one came to it, we lit candles, and we got married, went back, and had a curry." They ended up having a party a few months later to celebrate, after finally revealing the news.
2. Lavish: Sir Elton John and David Furnish
The civil union, which took place at Windsor Guildhall, cost a reported $1.5 million, and had 700 guests, who all got to hear John serenade Furnish with his famous love song “Your Song.” They were officially married years later once gay marriage was legalized in the UK at their Windsor estate with red roses decorating the reception and celebrity guests such as the Beckhams and Ed Sheeran.
3. Low-key: Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi
4. Lavish: Chrissy Teigen and John Legend

Kardashian walked down the aisle to a 10-piece orchestra in a Vera Wang dress. The entire event reportedly cost $1 million and Kardashian’s ring was a $850,000 12.5-carat diamond.
7. Low-key: Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet
Lisa and Lenny eloped in 1987 in Las Vegas. According to Kravitz’s memoir, the two decided to travel to Las Vegas one morning after telling each other they’d like to marry each other while lying in bed. Not even Kravitz’s mom was in attendance, which was later a source of family strife between them.
8. Lavish: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry
The two were married at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, then took a carriage ride through Windsor grounds. Markle wore a Givenchy dress and Queen Mary’s diamond bandeau tiara, then changed into a Stella McCartney gown for the reception at Frogmore House, after a first reception at St. George’s Hall and a luncheon thrown by the Queen at Buckingham Palace. A total of 600 guests attended the ceremony, with 200 attending the reception. George and Amal Clooney as well as Elton John were among the celebs in attendance. Everything cost a reported $42 million.
9. Low-key: Hilary Duff and Matthew Koma
10. Lavish: Katy Perry and Russell Brand
The two were engaged on an elephant during a fireworks display in India and returned to India for a destination wedding. Before the actual event, Brand and other guests went on a jungle safari ride through Ranthambore National Park. They were married at the Aman-e-Khas luxury resort just outside the Ranthambore tiger sanctuary, and it's rumored Brand bought a rare female tiger at the sanctuary for Perry as a wedding gift. It was referred to as a "private ceremony" but it included celeb guests like Anna Wintour and a performance by P. Diddy. Elephants, horses, and 21 camels were reportedly part of Brand's procession.
11. Low-key: Mandy Moore and Taylor Goldsmith
12. Lavish: Sofía Vergara and Joe Manganiello
13. Low-key: Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley

The couple flew on private jets and stayed in a $3,500-per-night cottage, and guests were driven from the airport in Aguilera's Rolls-Royce Phantom, which had been shipped from LA. The ceremony featured a performance by a gospel choir and Aguilera wore a custom Christian Lacroix dress. Aguilera herself performed at the reception, which had been decked out to look like a winter wonderland with hundreds of birch trees and white faux fur–trimmed tables and glitter-dipped floral centerpieces. Afterward, there was a disco after-party in a wine cellar. The two honeymooned at a private villa in Bali.
15. Low-key: Amy Schumer and Chris Fischer
Schumer and Fischer were married in a "casual afternoon ceremony" in Malibu with 80 guests after only a few months of dating. Comedian John Early officiated in drag and Schumer wore a $5,000 Monique Lhuillier dress, which is inexpensive compared to most celeb wedding dresses. While many stars were in attendance, the ceremony and reception were described as "low-key," involving mostly dancing and sitting around a fireplace. The ceremony was planned in only four days and that she invited guests via text message.
16. Lavish: Nicole Richie and Joel Madden
While Richie and Madden did get married at home, they were married in a lavish Versailles-themed tent. Their 155-person guest list, which included stars like Gwen Stefani and Ellen Pompeo, were greeted by an elephant when they arrived, which had apparently been a dream of Richie's since she was a kid. Nicole wore three custom-made Marchesa dresses for the wedding and a Neil Lane ring. Guests were also treated to an after-party hosted by Samantha Ronson.
17. Low-key: Penn Badgley and Domino Kirke
18. Lavish: Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas
The two were married at the Plaza Hotel in 2000 in a $1.5 to $2 million affair. The 300 guests — who included Sharon Stone, Jack Nicholson, and Brad Pitt — reportedly had to show their hologram invitations to be allowed in and private photos were banned. Zeta-Jones wore a $250,000 Christian Lacroix gown and said her husband Douglas never told her the exact cost of the wedding.
19. Low-key: Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden
According to Diaz, the two were married in their living room in front of their friends, then had a party in their backyard on the tennis court under a tent. While there were celeb guests such as Gwyneth Paltrow, the event was described as "very down-to-earth and sweet."
20. Lavish: Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren
The two were married in 2004 at a 200-guest wedding at the Sandy Lane resort in Barbados. They rented out the whole resort for the occasion. Nordegren wore a Vera Wang dress and Woods had hundreds of roses flown in for decoration. Hootie & the Blowfish performed and there were fireworks to celebrate the reception. The couple then took a Caribbean cruise on Woods's mega-yacht for their honeymoon, which he reportedly gifted to Nordegren. The event cost an estimated $1.5 million, with celeb guests like Michael Jordan and Oprah attending.
21. And finally, low-key: Anne Hathaway and Adam Shulman
The Big Sur ceremony was attended by 150 guests but no celebrities came — just friends and family. Hathaway wore no jewelry or hair extensions; though she did wear a Valentino dress. The jazz trio Americano Social Club performed, with a DJ taking over later in the night.
