Other famous guests included Evan Ross, Jonathan Jackson and Lennon Stella.
A source told the publication that the gathering was ‘emotional and beautiful’ and began with doves being released outside a church.

Panettiere’s mother Leslie Vogel was reportedly not in attendance, while her father Skip was.
Panettiere's on–off boyfriend Brian Hickerson and his brother Zach have reacted to being snubbed from the late actress's upcoming memorial.
The brothers understand why they were not included in Panettiere's celebration of life, according to TMZ.
Panettiere died one month ago at age 36, after going into cardiac arrest following a suspected overdose in South Carolina, where she was staying at an Airbnb with Brian, 37, and Zach, 38.
