He is quoted by the newspaper as saying: "It's a very private, lovely thing to be asked to do. Of course I'm going to make a joke after it if it goes well - 'I do weddings.' Next will be children's parties and bat mitzvahs. It was mainly Jewish and gay audience."

Among the wedding guests, was writer and journalist, Julie Burchill. She described the ceremony as a great occasion and "a blast".

"The hotel was lush, the bridegrooms were beautiful, and the man who married them (to each other) was Benedict Cumberbatch – so yes, it was quite a blast," she added.
