Every major player in Australian media and politics will attend Kyle Sandilands’ wedding to Tegan Kynaston on Saturday – including the Prime Minister.

The exclusive guest list, shared with Daily Mail Australia on Thursday, includes Today presenter Karl Stefanovic and his wife Jasmine; Kings Cross nightclub identity John Ibrahim and his model girlfriend Sarah Budge; and singer Guy Sebastian and his stylistic wife Jules.

The PM Anthony Albanian stands on dj at the reception along with his partner Jodie Haydon like a plusand NSW Labor Premier Chris Minns will also be in attendance with his wife Anna.

Other guests include the colorful former paparazzo-turned-Geelong mayor Darryn Lyons; boxer Jeff Fenech and his wife Suzee; Beau and Kara Ryan; and, of course, Jackie ‘O’ Henderson, longtime Sandilands radio host, who brings along her 12-year-old daughter Kitty.

Musical guests include Sebastian, Samantha Jade and Conrad Sewell.

The total cost of the ceremony is rumored to be around $1 million, and the couple locked up the beautiful Swifts landmark home for the occasion.

The Late Victorian Gothic Revival Mansion, at Darling Point, hhosting a number of prestigious events for Sydney’s elite over the years.

Socialite Nadia Fairfax married financier Michael Wayne there in 2021.

Owned by Shane and Penelope Moran of the Moran Health Care Group family, the $60 million home was built between 1876 and 1883 and features 56 rooms, beautiful grounds, and harbor views.

The house was originally built by beer baron Sir Robert Lucas Lucas-Tooth in 1882 and was owned by the Roman Catholic Church, who ‘whitewashed’ the facade of the building.

Speaking The Kyle and Jackie O Show earlier this weekSandilands revealed the exorbitant amount he had spent on his upcoming wedding.

He spent an estimated $1 million on the wedding, which is his second after marrying Tamara Jaber in 2010 (they divorced two years later).

On Monday’s broadcast, Sandilands and his co-host Henderson challenged listeners to guess the cost of specific elements of the wedding in a game called “Higher or Lower.”

‘Do you know where I made the mistake? When I first met the wedding planner and wedding stylist… they said, “Okay, what budget are we on?” and I said, ‘There’s no budget,’” Sandilands said at the beginning of the segment.

One of the most expensive features was the floral arrangements, which cost a whopping $150,000.

Henderson, who spent just $80,000 on her marriage to ex-husband Lee in the early 2000s, was stunned by the price tag and asked Sandilands, “150,000 for something that dies a few days later?”

“Well, everybody can take home flowers and stuff,” Sandilands shrugged.

Kynaston’s wedding dress cost just under $50,000, while the bridal party and pageboy suits cost more than $15,000.

The entertainment, including renting multiple stages, audio equipment, and sound trucks, cost more than $100,000.

Sandilands also hired several instrumentalists, saying, “There are saxophone guys, there are string quartets. It’s something big.’

Sandilands clarified that he actually saved money on the artist fees, as his pop star friends Guy Sebastian, Conrad Sewell and Samantha Jade had agreed to perform for free.

The wedding stylist’s fee was less than $250,000, while the food — which included an oyster bar and caviar — cost less than $75,000.

Sandilands revealed he spent less than $120,000 on security details, including 15 private security guards and members of the NSW and federal police.

The combined cost of the videographer and photographer was less than $80,000, while the wedding invitations cost less than $15,000.

Sandilands also said his wedding cake, which he described as a “five-tiered monster,” cost more than $8,000.

A live organist also set the couple back $3,000.

However, there was one detail that Sandilands managed to get for free: the couple’s wedding rings.

Sandilands confirmed that the famous jeweler House of K’Dor donated the rings for free as a thank you for being a long time customer.

Sandilands proposed to Kynaston in January last year while on holiday in Port Douglas. The couple welcomed a son, Otto, in August.

Kynaston is director of communications for Sandilands’ company King Kyle Pty Ltd.

The couple made their romance public on New Year’s Eve in 2019, when Kynaston shared a photo of herself kissing Kyle in front of the Sydney Harbor Bridge.

Two months earlier, she had denied rumors that she was in a relationship with the KIIS FM presenter.

Sandilands started dating Kynaston after his split from his long-term girlfriend Imogen Anthony.
