So Sir Elt and David Furnish decided to throw a little after party of their own... reportedly dubbed the "Not Flippin' Invited" party.
According to the Daily Mail, Elton's do at the Ritz was a far cry from champagne and canapes at the Palace.
A friend told the paper: "Elton served up steak and chips. It was hardly a Royal affair. The Beckhams were among 12 other guests who made up the NFI list."
The Rocket Man apparently wasn't the only peeved person in town though - Victoria Beckham was said to "gutted" at missing out on the posh Palace do.
The insider added: "To add insult to injury, Victoria had to queue outside the Abbey for an hour beforehand and she didn't even have an allocated seat, so she had to sit at the back and watch the couple make their vows on one of the TV screens.
"The whole affair left a bitter taste because she's used to being the biggest star in the room and she's rarely off a guest list for anything."
Might explain why she couldn't muster a smile.

NFI bash excepted, Elton John is renowned for throwing some seriously lavish parties...
Craziest Celebrity Parties
Never one to make a quiet entrance, Elton John reached new heights of flamboyance (literally) in 1997 with a show-stopping outfit for his 50th birthday party. The singer, who dressed as Louis XIV for the occasion, wore a wig that was so big that he reportedly had to arrange special transport to fit the headpiece. More than 500 friends of the star partied at the lavish event.
Legendary party animal Kate Moss marked her 35th birthday with a medieval-themed bash at her London home. Paparazzi photographs showed a mounted deer's head being carried into her house along with a pig on a spit. But it was the duration of this particular celebration which really hit the headlines as Kate and guests including Sadie Frost and Rhys Ifans were said to have partied non-stop for a full three days. Makes you wonder what she'll do for her 40th.
What is it with these supermodels and their three day party bashes? Back in 2006, Naomi Campbell reportedly hired out all 18 floors of Dubai's exclusive Burj Al Arab hotel. The event saw the likes of David and Victoria Beckham, Linda Evangelista and Eva Herzigova join the model for the party, which is said to have set her back a cool £1 million.
Anyone who attended Nicolas Cage's 2003 festive party is unlikely to be surprised by recent reports that the actor is having money troubles. Guests at the event dined from tables carved from ice while a production crew blew fake snow onto proceedings and two massive nutcracker men stood to attention by the entrance to his mansion. The partygoers included Hugh Hefner and Jay Leno, who described it as the greatest Christmas party he'd ever been to. Money well spent then.
Talk show queen Oprah Winfrey kicked off her 50th birthday weekend with a special edition of her show featuring surprise guests including Tina Turner paying tribute to the host. Festivities then carried on for three days with a lunch for 50 of the world's most influential women and a black-tie event attended by Hollywood stars including Tom Hanks, John Travolta and Jennifer Aniston.
Let's be honest about it - when you're the heiress to a multi-million pound empire, your 21st birthday is never going to be a quiet night down the pub with your mates. Paris celebrated her coming of age by throwing five parties around the globe in New York, Las Vegas, London, Los Angeles and Tokyo and the final bill reportedly added up to around £45,000 per guest!
King of bling P Diddy suffered his first hangover in five years following his 40th birthday party in New York. The rapper hired a top event planner to turn the venue into a 'fantasy dreamland' featuring a maze, fashion shows and performance art. Guests including Jay-Z, Rachel Hunter and The Black Eyed Peas partied at the extravagaza, which reportedly cost him £1.8 million.
Waiters wearing Simon Cowell masks, tablecloths featuring The X Factor judge's silhouette and even wallpaper featuring the guest of honour - yes, it could only be Simon Cowell's 50th birthday party. The guest-list was like a who's who of showbiz with the likes of Kate Moss, Gordon Ramsay and er, Katie Price rubbing shoulders with the Osbournes, David Hasslehoff and Cheryl Cole. Reports suggest that the party, which is said to have cost more than £1 million, was a bit naff - just like the man himself. Though maybe we're just bitter as our invite got lost in the post.
Don't be fooled by his gruff manner on The Apprentice, Sir Alan Sugar is obviously a romantic at heart and proved it earlier this year by throwing a massive party for his 40th wedding anniversary. Elton John and the comedian Jackie Mason turned up for surprise performances and the bill is said to have topped £2 million.
With the total cost said to be in the region of £16 million, it's not surprising that the Sultan of Brunei's 50th birthday party is believed to be the most expensive ever thrown. Guests at the bash sipped the world's best champagne and nibbled on the costliest caviar on the planet, however, the highlight was a performance by Michael Jackson, for which the late star is said to have pocketed almost £10 million. Not bad for a night's work.
