Wedding planning for most humans involves deciding between a local jazz band and town harpist for the entertainment.

Just because you’re famous doesn’t mean you can’t have a fellow A-lister sing/dance/crack jokes during your nuptials. Here are 10 music superstars who have done gigs at showbiz weddings.
