Pop star Jennifer Lopez, Sting and Enrique Iglesias took the stage to perform at the wedding of a Russian billionaire's son over the weekend.

Oil tycoon Mikhail Gutseriev spared no expense on Saturday, when his son, Said Gutseriev, exchanged vows with his fiancee, Khadija Uzhakhovs, reported Contactmusic.

Mikhail, who has a net worth of USD 6.2 billion, according to Forbes, recruited Jennifer, Sting and Enrique as the entertainers for the reception in Moscow, and photos and videos of their performances were subsequently posted on social media by invited guests.

In clips posted on Instagram, Sting appears onstage with a group of women and young girls who are swaying along to his song Desert Rose, while Enrique invited young boys dressed in tuxedos to dance with him during his performance of Bailando.
 

Meanwhile, Jennifer appeared to have made at least three costume changes during her set, which included performances of On the Floor, Dance Again and Get Right.

In one Instagram video, she congratulates newlyweds Said and Khadija, admitting that correctly pronouncing their names was "the hardest thing I had to do today".

Other photos of the event posted online reveal a massive fireworks display, an enormous nine-tiered wedding cake, and the bride in a custom-beaded Elie Saab gown.
