Kanye West's exclusive Sunday Service is the hottest ticket in town
And you thought Kanye West‘s arena concerts were star-studded.
The “Famous” rapper and fashion mogul has attracted the likes of David Letterman, DMX, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom, Courtney Love, Tyler the Creator, Diplo and more at the Sunday Services he’s hosted since January.
They’ve already become such a thing that Kanye is set to lead a Sunday Service at Coachella at 9 a.m. on April 21, Easter Sunday, which may or may not be open to everyone.
Wife Kim Kardashian admitted that even the family’s confused about who exactly will be allowed to attend. “Everyone’s asking, even my mom,” she told Elle.
The events are usually invitation-only.
While Kanye’s camp did not respond to Yahoo Entertainment’s request for comment about the services, Kim herself described them.
“It’s honestly more like a healing experience for my husband,” she told the magazine. “It’s just music; there’s no sermon. It’s definitely something he believes in — Jesus — and there’s a Christian vibe. But there’s no preaching. It’s just a very spiritual Christian experience.”
Still, she said, the church is open to people of all religions.
“Kourtney’s best friends come all the time and they’re Muslim. All my Jewish friends came on Sunday; they loved it,” Kim said. “Everyone that comes understands it’s just a really healing experience with an amazing choir, and amazing messages about love to start off your week.”
The guests reportedly have to sign non-disclosure agreements. However, Kim and others have shared several photos and videos from the events that offer a peek inside.

So it’s not like you can just stop by and walk into one of these exclusive events, although it’s reportedly sometimes held in the woods of Los Angeles, because attendees must be invited. There’s reportedly security to make sure that everything stays cool.
Besides the woods, the gathering has also taken place at Adidas headquarters in Portland and at Kanye’s studio in Calabasas, Calif., as well as a secret location in nearby Burbank, Calif., in case it weren’t private enough.
The upcoming service at Coachella just might be the exception.
The attire
Did you think a fashion designer would overlook the dress code? Nope, it appears that guests wear all white or all black, and they look good.

Kim, of course, dresses to impress. She and North, one of the daughters she shares with Kanye, even wore matching snakeskin ensembles to one service.
The inspiration
Prayers, music and dancing. What else do you need to catch the spirit?

Well, besides North West’s awesome dance moves, there’s a full choir to back up Kanye as he performs his songs. Special guests often perform as well.

If only they took reservations.
