A three-day celebration of love, legacy, and luxury — featuring Dolce & Gabbana gowns, diamond earrings delivered by armored van, and Amazon slippers under the stars.
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s wedding was nothing short of a modern-day fairytale — staged on the romantic island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, Italy, on Friday, June 27, 2025. Over the course of three glittering days, the couple celebrated their union surrounded by family, friends, and a who’s who of global celebrity and power.

Bezos, the 61-year-old Amazon founder, and Sánchez, 55, a bestselling author and former journalist, spared no detail in bringing their wedding vision to life. From designer gowns to intimate dinners, every moment reflected the couple’s shared love of elegance, family, and personal storytelling.
A Star-Packed Guest List in the Floating City
The guest list was as glamorous as the location — Oprah Winfrey, Orlando Bloom, Tom Brady, Kim Kardashian, Leonardo DiCaprio, Usher, Kris Jenner, and Queen Rania of Jordan were just a few of the luminaries in attendance. Also present were Bill Gates, Paula Hurd, François-Henri Pinault, and designers Diane von Fürstenberg, Domenico Dolce, and Tommy Hilfiger.

Lauren’s children — Nikko, Evan, and Ella — all played touching roles in the ceremony. Her daughter Ella, 17, served as maid of honor, while her sons walked her down the aisle. Bezos’ children, whom he shares with ex-wife MacKenzie Scott, have remained out of the public eye and it’s unclear if they were present.
The Dress(es), the Diamonds, and a Touch of Space
Sánchez stunned in a corseted, mermaid-style wedding gown by Dolce & Gabbana — a homage to the one worn by Sophia Loren in the 1958 film Houseboat. The couture creation, featuring hand-appliquéd Italian lace and 180 silk chiffon-covered buttons, made Sánchez feel “like a princess.”

She paired the gown with Dolce Alta Gioielleria Miracolo earrings — four diamonds cut from a single stone — delivered via armored van for her Vogue shoot. Her “something blue”? A secret keepsake from her Blue Origin space flight.
Sánchez told Vogue her style evolution mirrored her personal growth: “I’m a different person than I was five years ago.”
For her wedding dinner look, she channeled Rita Hayworth in a sweetheart-neck, corseted gown, followed by a cocktail dress by Oscar de la Renta, glittering with 175,000 hand-sewn crystals and 600 yards of metallic chain. Her final look — for a pajama-themed afterparty — was an Atelier Versace strapless georgette gown with crystal mesh embroidery and a matching robe.

Slippers, Souvenirs, and Sentimentality
No lavish affair is complete without thoughtful touches. Guests received curated goody bags filled with Venetian treats. Men were gifted velvet Vibi Venezia slippers, while women slipped into plush black open-toe slippers from Amazon — a chic and playful nod to the couple’s lifestyle fusion.
The couple’s ceremony began with days of welcome dinners and ended in a reception free of phones, allowing guests to fully immerse themselves in the romance and revelry.

A Love Story Years in the Making
Bezos and Sánchez’s love story began publicly in 2019. By 2023, they were engaged, and by mid-2025, their dream wedding had become a reality. Hours after the ceremony, Sánchez confirmed her new status by changing her Instagram name to Lauren Sánchez Bezos and posting their first wedding photo with a simple caption: “06/27/2025 ♥️.”
From Pinterest boards to private fittings and priceless jewels to pajama parties, this wedding proved to be a celebration not just of opulence, but of transformation, partnership, and personal evolution.
Jeff and Lauren’s Venetian nuptials didn’t just make headlines — they redefined what a modern luxury love story can look like.
