David and Victoria Beckham’s wedding
It’s safe to say that David and Victoria’s wedding ceremony in 1999 was one of the biggest celebrity events of the 1990s.
The big day featured a castle, a diamond-encrusted cake and the infamous thrones they sat in during the reception.
But as the couple celebrate their 26th wedding anniversary today, how much would the celebration set them back today? OLBG has managed to work out how much the big day would cost in 2025. And, according to them, the whole day cost at least £750,000.
Some of the costs weren’t reported at the time (namely, the diamond-encrusted cake created by Damien Hirst), which makes it impossible to work out the final total; however, many of the numbers did make it into media reports.
The venue, Luttrellstown Castle near Dublin, can be hired out today for £35k, according to OLBG. But that was just for the building itself, so they needed to add food on top. Posh and Becks reportedly paid £48 per head.
Although they only had 29 guests at the actual wedding, that number was increased to 230 by the time the food arrived, meaning it would have cost the couple an eye-watering £11,040 to ensure everyone was fed. Adjusted, this works out to around £21k.
