Lauren S谩nchez Bezos and Jeff Bezos鈥 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鈥檚 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鈥檚 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鈥檚 1971 hit 鈥淵our Song.鈥
Goulding also performed 鈥淵our Song鈥 at Bezos and S谩nchez鈥檚 star-studded bash Friday.
Famed opera singer Andrea Bocelli鈥檚 son, Matteo Bocelli, sang a cover of Elvis Presley鈥檚 鈥淐an鈥檛 Help Falling in Love鈥 as the newlyweds鈥 first dance song.
William and Kate鈥檚 first wedding reception was a lunchtime affair thrown by the late Queen Elizabeth II while King Charles hosted the pair鈥檚 second, more intimate wedding reception in the Throne Room at Buckingham Palace.
Elton John, a close friend of William鈥檚 mother, the late Princess Diana, attended the second reception with David and Victoria Beckham.
While Goulding has yet to speak publicly about her performance during the Bezos-S谩nchez wedding festivities, she previously opened up about singing for William and Kate.
During a 2012 interview with the Daily Mail, Goulding recalled meeting William before the royal nuptials and learned that they were fans of her music.
However, the two-time Grammy nominee shared she was shocked when she received an offer to perform for the couple on their wedding day.
鈥淚 knew they liked my songs, but I didn鈥檛 walk away from meeting William thinking it might lead to a gig at Buckingham Palace,鈥 she recalled.
鈥淭hen I got a phone call suggesting there might be something in the offing, but I didn鈥檛 tell anyone for a long time,鈥 Goulding continued.
鈥淚 wasn鈥檛 told to stay quiet, but I thought it best to keep things under my hat,鈥 she added. 鈥淚 knew there would be massive interest in the wedding, so I wanted to keep something private. In the end, somebody leaked it, but I鈥檓 glad we managed to keep it under wraps for a while.鈥
Goulding admitted she was nervous ahead of her high-profile gig as William and Kate鈥檚 wedding singer.
鈥淧erforming the first dance of the night, 鈥榊our Song鈥 was nerve-wracking,鈥 she recalled. 鈥淏ut William and Kate were very appreciative. They are an awesome couple and told me how much they enjoyed it. My band and I stayed at the reception all night, and it鈥檚 something I鈥檒l treasure forever.鈥
Goulding later serenaded William and Kate again with her 2011 song 鈥淪tarry Eyed鈥 and some of her other original tracks.
She also performed covers of famous songs, including The Killers鈥 鈥淢r. Brightside鈥 and Stevie Wonder鈥檚 鈥淪uperstition.鈥
In 2022, Goulding reunited with William and Kate when she performed at the prince鈥檚 Earthshot Prize Awards ceremony.
Bezos and S谩nchez鈥檚 reception also featured performances by Usher, who sang his hit 鈥淵eah,鈥 and sets by DJ Cassidy, DJ Kygo and DJ Mei Kwok, according to People.
