Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos’ lavish wedding wouldn’t be complete without some A-list performers.
For their black-tie ceremony on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, Italy, on Friday, June 27, Andrea Bocelli’s son Matteo Bocelli serenaded the bride and groom and their guests with a rendition of the Elvis Presley classic “Can’t Help Falling in Love.”
Now, a source tells PEOPLE that two other big entertainment names will put on performances at the couple’s final wedding bash on Saturday night, June 28. Usher is set to sing, and DJ Cassidy will perform a set. Both are friends and favorite musicians of the newlyweds.

“Cassidy is known for these types of parties — he’s a go-to who’s performed at a lot of the other guests’ events like Oprah’s school opening, Kris Jenner’s 60th [birthday party], Kourtney [Kardashian]’s wedding and Dolce & Gabbana’s parties, so the couple is a fan,” the source says of the Pass the Mic host.
The source adds that Jeff, 61, and Lauren, 55, want to have a night centered around music to see their guests off after a busy week of wedding festivities.
“[They’re] going to set the tone. Tonight is all about the music,” the source says of the musical performances. “It’s the culmination, the final big party.”
“First night was dinner, second was the ceremony with Andrea Bocelli’s son performing, and tonight’s the full-on dance floor,” the source adds.

Ahead of the wedding, on Sunday, June 22, the soon-to-be bride and groom were spotted on Jeff’s $500 million superyacht Kuru, off the coast of Europe, enjoying a foam party with their friends.
Wearing their swimsuits, the couple played around in the foam that bubbled up on the deck in clouds of thick, frothy bubbles. Partygoers also bounced around giant blue, pink and yellow beach balls, and dove off the yacht to swim in the ocean.
Jeff and Lauren were later photographed arriving at the Aman Hotel in Venice on Wednesday, June 25. PEOPLE confirmed that the couple had touched down in the Italian city via helicopter earlier that day.
The wedding festivities commenced on Thursday, June 26, with an elegant welcome party, held in a closed cloister adjacent to the Madonna dell’Orto church. The couple and their guests dined on pizza cooked onsite by a famous Neapolitan chef, along with fried zucchini flowers, arancini, octopus and cod. Dessert included pastries and lemon cakes.
