15 Celebs We Wouldn't Mind Crashing Our Wedding (and Why)

If we had to share the spotlight on our big day, these are the only celebrities we'd let steal the show. See who made our list, and why!

By Lauren Porter · August 16, 2016October 27, 2020
01
Beyoncé

Queen Bey could steal the moment on our big day and we wouldn’t mind. If she hopped on the mic and sang “Love on Top,” we wouldn’t object not one bit. 

 

Karwai Tang
02
President and Mrs. Obama

Could you imagine if POTUS or FLOTUS crashed your wedding and gave a speech in honor of you and the groom?! We could cry just thinking about it. 

 

Chip Somodevilla
03
Stevie Wonder

A simple piano solo from Mr. Wonder would cause us to enter life in wedded bliss with nothing but pure joy. Not to mention a simple request for him to sing “As,” “Knocks Me Off My Feet,” “All I Do” and basically his whole discography. That’s not too much to ask is it?! 

 

Kevin Mazur
04
Oprah

It would be truly wonderful if Ms. Winfrey would grace out wedding with her presence and happily gift everyone a car. We can hear her saying “You get a car!” right now. 

 

Jason Merritt
05
John Legend
Proud new father and award-winning entertainer John Legend will grace the Main Stage with his presence for this year’s musical festivities.
Kevin Winter
06
Serena Williams serves.
A stunning Serena Williams introduces Beyonce’s highly-anticipated performance.
Karwai Tang
07
Kanye West

We would give a lot to have a custom Kanye set list debut at during a wedding reception. Yeezy would make a dope DJ.

 

Johnny Nunez
08
Taraji P. Henson

How great would it be if the Empire actress came through post “I Do’s?” The party would be too lit!

 

Jason Merritt
09
Miss Jay

An introduction from Miss Jay would just be everything dreams are made of!

 

Brad Barket
10
Sade

A sweet serenade of the “Kiss of Life” would be the perfect present. 

 

David Livingston
11
Kevin Hart

An impromptu comedic toast would be unforgettable. We’ll mark Kev done for “yes!”

 

Jim Spellman
12
Debbie Allen

We’d love to dance the night away with the Fame actress. She sure could teach us a few moves.

 

Patricia Schlein/Star Max
13
DJ Khaled

Only DJ Khaled could drop a major key during the nuptials to give us his blessing. He’s smart, he’s loyal. We’re here for it!

​

 

Prince Williams
14
Iyanla Vanzant

We won’t quite need her to come fix our lives but if she could say “beloved” into the mic a few times we’d be satisfied. 

​

Leon Bennett
