If the nuptials of insta-chef Brooklyn Beckham and his actor wife Nicola Peltz have been on your radar at all, then you will know the affair was drama-filled. The couple hasn’t been married a year but the alleged fallouts – and now a lawsuit – over their $3 million (£2.5m), three-day wedding at the Peltz family’s Palm Springs estate last April has spawned endless stories of family feuds, sacked wedding planners and, most recently, a claim, via court documents, that the father of the bride dismissed the whole thing as a “shit show”.

Juicy? Yep. Spoilt? Arguably. Surprising? Not if you’re a wedding planner to the 1% – the extremely wealthy for whom extravagant demands, quarrelling in-laws, six or even seven-figure budgets and the occasional tantrum are par for the course.

Celebrity planner Mark Niemierko, of events company Niemierko, has a roster of billionaire clients and looked after the weddings of celebrities such as James Corden and his wife, Julia, and has planned nuptials with royalty, including Prince Harry, on the guest list. Cliveden House, where Meghan Markle prepared for her wedding, is one of his most popular venues.
