$2.8 Million Kim Kanye Wedding, Breaking! Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s wedding cost a lot of money. Oh, you figured? Well then.

Surely it comes as no surprise that Kimye’s spectacular and extravagant celebration was also one of the most expensive ceremonies in some time, and while there are no exact dollar amounts for absolutely everything, E! News can give you a guesstimation on their big day.

According to top-end wedding planner Jinane Kafrouny, who has been at the cutting edge of luxury wedding planning for the last quarter of a century in Italy and is a senior event manager with Weddings Italy, owned by Regency Events, Kim and Kanye’s nuptials cost around $2.8 million (and that doesn’t even include Paris!).

“Cost of such an event would approximately be 2 million euros excluding flights, hotel stays and the French leg of the event,” Kafrouny tells E! News.

So let’s break down what we can of the bill:

Andrea Bocelli: “Most expensive would be hiring Bocelli and the rental of Forte di Belvedere. Bocelli normally charges from 100,000 euros to a million euros as long as the event is close to his home. Bocelli is probably their friend so the cost might of been low.”

Catering: “Catering company typically charges between 300-400 euros per person for such a menu inclusive of the wines.” Since there were approximately 200 people at the reception, the grand total would be somewhere near $110,000.

Forte di Belvedere: As previously reported, Kimye allegedly spent an estimated $400,000 to rent the historic venue for their ceremony.
