NOT every A-lister wants a royal-style blowout on their wedding day with a star-studded guest list and lavish venue.
After Made In Chelsea star Georgia Toffolo secretly wed millionare BrewDog founder James Watt on a tiny boat in Scotland, we’re looking back at some of the most low-key celeb weddings.
From DIY dresses to last minute vows, intimate wedding ceremonies are more popular than you think.
Justin and Hailey Bieber

The Biebers skipped the glitz and glam for their first wedding – opting for a secret courthouse ceremony in New York City in 2018.
They did throw a bigger party a year later which set them back a reported $500,000.
But their first ‘I do’ was an intimate and romantic moment – a far cry from the star-studded party they later held in South Carolina with Katy Perry and Kendall Jenner as guests.
Usher and Jennifer Goicochea

Jennifer Goicoechea and R&B legend Usher took their family by surprise when they got married last year in Vegas.
They said ‘I do’ just hours before Usher performed at the Super Bowl Halftime Show.
The longtime couple said their vows in front of just a few guests at a drive-thru wedding ceremony, later sharing snaps of Jennifer in a white suite and holding a simple bouquet of red roses.
Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez
Pop superstar Ariana Grande and real-estate agent Dalton Gomez married in May 2021 in an ultra-private ceremony at her home in Montecito, California.
Fewer than 20 guests watched them exchange vows under a flower arch.
Ariana and Dalton’s wedding was described as “tiny and intimate” and cost far less than the divorce.
They secretly split in January 2023 and the Wicked actress was ordered to pay her ex a one-time sum of $1.25 million and an extra $25,000 for his legal fees.
She also had to give him half of the proceeds from the sale of their Los Angeles home.
Beyoncé and Jay Z

Beyoncé and Jay-Z might be music royalty, but their 2008 wedding was nothing like Prince Harry and Meghan Markles’ huge Windsor do.
The couple had just 40 guests at their ceremony which took place in Jay-Z’s New York City apartment, and Bey’s mum Tina made her dress.
They renewed their vows ten years later with footage of the bash shown during their On The Run II tour. Second time round Bey wore a Galia Lahav gown that cost $10,300.
Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner
Pop star Joe Jonas and Game of Thrones actress Sophie Turner got hitched in a Vegas chapel.
They hired A Little White Wedding Chapel in Sin City after the Billboard Music Awards in 2019 and were wed by an Elvis impersonator.
The used ring pops instead of exchanging traditional rings, and Diplo attended, live streaming the whole thing.
They hosted a more lavish reception in France later that year.
Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth

Before their split singer Miley Cyrus and actor Liam Hemsworth tied the knot in a quiet ceremony in their Tennessee home.
The Christmas-time wedding was small and initimate, with family and close friends attending.
But it was a last-ditch attempt to save their struggling relationship.
Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio

Marilyn Monroe was married three times and to second husband Joe DiMaggio in 1954.
Aged 28, she had been single for nearly 10 years until she met the baseball legend, who was 40.
They wed at San Francisco City Hall and the ceremony was over in minutes.
Having dated for two years, their tumultuous marriage lasted just nine months.
Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz

There was no press and no fanfare when James Bond legend Daniel Craig married Rachel Weisz in New York in 2011.
They revealed their relationship in 2010 after being friends for years.
It was an ultra-private ceremony, with just four guests including their kids from their previous relationships.
Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin

Before they famously ‘consciously uncoupled’ Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin married in a low key ceremony at a Santa Barbara hotel in 2003.
They couple didn’t even have family there, keeping it is as private as possible.
They said ‘I do’ two days after announcing they were expecting their first child, Apple.
Lily Allen and David Harbour
Smile singer Lily Allen and Stranger Things star David Harbour tied the knot in a tiny Las Vegas chapel with an Elvis impersonator officiating.
They celebrated with In-N-Out burgers afterwards and the whole thing reportedly cost just £150.
Though they’re still married, the pair have reportedly split and David, 49, is dating a 27-year-old model.
