A bride paidTom Sandovalthousands of dollars to perform at her wedding.

In January 2023, Jenn Wright hired theVanderpump Rulesstar and his cover band, Tom Sandoval & The Most Extras, to perform at her May 2023 nuptials in Santa Barbara, Calif. Because she had a friend with a connection to the band, she got a “discount” and only paid $16,000.

“It was honestly so much fun and I don’t think anybody left the dance floor,” Wright tells PEOPLE. “He was just super fun and got everyone pumped up.”

Because the wedding happened when the"Scandoval"controversy hit, Wright warned most of her wedding guests that Sandoval would be performing. Luckily, everyone seemed to agree that he was the life of the party.

“I think the overall sentiment was just kind of like, ‘Alright, like let’s see what they got,’ " Wright says. “Once they took the stage, he had a blast. I think the whole band had a blast. Everyone was really into it.”

Tom Sandoval & The Most Extras mostly performed “fun” ’80s and ’90s songs.

Ulrich was seemingly referring to the latest episode ofThe Traitorsthat aired Thursday, Feb. 13. In the episode, Sandoval “sung” scrambled nursery rhymes as a part of a challenge. While his “singing” made host Alan Cumming laugh, Sandoval added $20,000 to the prize pot.

“Incredible use of free will,” one TikTok user commented.

“My ego couldn’t handle him stealing my thunder on my wedding day 😂,” someone else wrote.
