The services of security companies across London that specialise in VIP protection are put to the test at celebrity weddings.

It seems we can't get enough of celebrities. And when it comes to celebrity weddings the paparazzi and press become like vultures. Security guards specialising in VIP protection are hired en masse at celebrity weddings where the stars are desperate to keep out unwanted guests, from tabloid hacks to crazed fans.

Security Company for VIPs

But the reality is, celebrity weddings often have some deal with the press – monitoring who is officially supposed to be at the event, and who isn't often demands the skills of a specialist security company. The wedding of Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas was a case in point when their £1 million deal with OK magazine resulted in court proceedings with rival Hello magazine, who infringed on the rights for the wedding photos.
The services of a specialist security company can help safeguard major events that can become a logistical nightmare in terms of security. Whether the wedding is in London or Barbados, you can be guaranteed a celebrity wedding will attract unwanted wedding guests. And when you look at some of the fees celebrity magazines are willing to pay famous couples, it may sound staggering – Posh Spice and Beckham for instance gave OK magazine exclusive photo rights in exchange for £1 million. But the cost of celebrity weddings tend to be astronomical – with the couple not only going overboard on décor, food and the dress – they spend a small fortune on essential security, complete with VIP security guards or the services of a dedicated security company.

London Glamour

Famous weddings include the London WAGS weddings of Wayne and Coleen (who opted to marry in Italy in their 'multi-million pound nuptials'). Joe Cole and Carly Zucker's wedding with outside caterers, flowers and security was thought to reach tens of thousands of pounds. The celebrations are often wrapped in tight security to ensure a smooth and safe event. Zucker's engagement ring cost an estimated £50,000 – it's not surprising with such wealth at stake security companies work hard to protect the bride, groom and their famous guests.
The bigger the celebrity, the bigger the security headache – when Salma Hayek got married in Venice in 2009, the guest list was packed with VIPs, including models, Oscar winners and even the former French president Jacques Chirac. The tight security for the wedding including security guards surrounding the Palazzo Dogana as celebrities arrived for the wedding party.
