Mr Murdoch has four daughters from three marriages; Prudence, 57, Elisabeth, 47, Grace, 14, and Chloe 12.
Ms Hall's daughters, Elizabeth, 32, and Georgia, 23, from her relationship to Sir Mick Jagger will also be in attendance as her bridesmaids.

According to The Sydney Morning Herald, the pair were eager to include all of their children in the ceremony on Saturday to start their new life as a blended family.
'All the daughters are being included, from both sides... it was a very specific request to bring them all together for the wedding,' a source told the newspaper.
It had previously been reported the couple would tie the knot at St Bride's church in Fleet Street, the spiritual home of British journalism. However it is now thought the couple will hold a second ceremony there tomorrow.
Claire Seaton from St Bride's said: 'He will be having a service to celebrate the marriage.'

Mr Murdoch and Ms Hall started dating in the late summer having been introduced by one of Murdoch's sisters and his niece in Australia.
The couple made their relationship public on October 31 when they were seen for the first time together at the Rugby World Cup final at Twickenham in London.
They were pictured wearing matching Wallabies scarves and smooching in the stands.
The pair were next seen walking arm-in-arm down the red carpet ahead of the Golden Globes awards ceremony.
Their engagement was announced days afterwards in the Times newspaper - one of the paper's owned by Murdoch - on January 12.
Last week Ms Hall showed off her 20-carat marquise diamond engagement ring, thought to have cost £2.4million.
This will be Mr Murdoch's fourth marriage, having divorced Wendi Deng in 2013.

Their break-up came amid reports about her infatuation with former Prime Minister Tony Blair. The former Labour leader is also godfather to Grace, 14, his first child with Deng.
His first marriage was to Australian Patricia Booker, a former flight attendant from Melbourne, and he then married Glasgow-born journalist Anna Torv.
It will be Ms Hall's first official marriage after an unofficial Balinese ceremony with Jagger in 1990 was declared invalid when the pair ended their 23-year relationship in 1999.
Ms Hall revealed how aggrieved she felt with Sir Mick - 13 years her senior and the father of her four children - when his incessant womanising finally made her decide to end their relationship in 1999. They had met in 1977.
'I forgave and forgave and forgave to the point that it wasn't healthy at all,' the 6ft model ruefully recalled.
The couple's former partners are not expected to attend the wedding.
Other guests will include all his senior executives including Rebekah Brooks, the UK chief executive, and Robert Thomson, the Guardian reported.
