Celebrity accountant Anthony Bell pulled out all the stops for his lavish wedding to Annika Martyn in Noosa over the weekend, securing Guy Sebastian to serenade guests with his chart-topping hits.
Daily Mail Australia can reveal that the Battle Scars singer was paid over $100,000 to perform at the nuptials.
The former Australian Idol winner, 43, has become one of the nation’s most sought-after performers for weddings and private events and commands eye-watering fees.
According to sources, Guy’s fees for corporate engagements alone start at a staggering $300,000, with some events reaching up to $499,000.
The Noosa wedding isn’t Guy’s first private gig.
Back in 2017, the singer was reportedly paid $54,341 for a wedding performance in Jakarta.

For a more modest ceremony in Sydney he pocketed $10,000 for a single song.
It’s no surprise that Guy comes with a hefty price tag.
In addition to his singing engagements, Guy has raked in millions from his television appearances.
He reportedly earned a six-figure salary for his stint as a judge on The Voice Australia, a gig that cemented his position as a household name.
‘When you hire Guy Sebastian, you’re not just getting a performance, you’re getting an experience. That’s why people are willing to pay these astronomical fees,’ an insider told Daily Mail Australia.
A glittering guest list of Australian sport and showbiz royalty mingled under the clear skies for Anthony and Annika’s nuptials, the air buzzing with laughter and the clink of cocktail glasses.
Karl Stefanovic and wife Jasmine were there, as was Terry Biviano and Anthony Minichiello.
Meanwhile, Richard Wilkins canoodled with his new love nearby. Jade Yarbrough – Jasmine’s sister – also looked radiant alongside her new boyfriend, multimillionaire property developer Paul Gedoun.
Bare feet, breezy shirts and linen shorts were the uniform of the day, a perfect complement to the sparkling waters that framed the scene.
But while the Aperol Spritz flowed and the music kept the mood high, one name lingered in whispered conversations: Michael Clarke.
The cricketer was notably absent from the wedding following his infamous Noosa brawl with Yarbrough and her brother-in-law Karl last year.
