Elton John performed at two weddings the last weekend of September 2012.

He was a surprise guest at the Los Angeles nuptials of Laura Katzenberg - whose father Jeffrey is a long-time friend of Elton - and record producer Mark Sudack, taking to the piano to provide the music for the happy couple's first dance on September 30, 2012. He played all the standards like "The Chicken Dance" and "Hava Nagila" and introduced the couple as they made their grand entrance into the VFW hall with colored lights and strobes blasting.

On September 29, 2012, Elton performed at the wedding of Australian actress Holly Valance and British billionaire Nick Candy at the Paramount lot in Los Angeles. The wedding performances come just a month after Elton made an appearance at a reception in Canada. Elton agreed to perform for the unnamed man and his new wife after the groom made a huge donation to his AIDS Foundation.
