Fiat Lux... or just another billion-dollar wedding? Bezos & Sánchez turned Venice into their runway—complete with star-studded guests, royal gowns, and canal-side drama.

Lauren Sanchez and Jezz Bezos get married in Italy.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez transformed Venice into the epicenter of glamour and controversy from June 26–28. Their black-tie ceremony on San Giorgio Maggiore was a visual masterpiece Sánchez stunning in a custom white lace Dolce & Gabbana gown, highlighting Sophia Loren’s 1950s elegance, complete with 180 silk-covered buttons and a corseted bodice. To kick off the festivities, she donned Schiaparelli, Dior, and Hermès; for the chic “Dolce Notte” pajama party, she wore a rose-pink Atelier Versace silk-chiffon gown encrusted with Swarovski crystals.

Super-Guest List

Appearing at their three-day fête were over 200 A-listers Oprah Winfrey, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kim & Khloé Kardashian, Sydney Sweeney, Tom Brady, Bill Gates, Queen Rania, and more all arriving via private jets and yachts.

Unexpected Celebrations

Staying true to their bold branding, the couple closed the wedding with a high-energy pajama-themed bash (“Dolce Notte”) featuring Usher & DJ Cassidy and plush Amazon-branded slippers. Guests, from Oprah to Mick Jagger, danced until the early hours under Venetian skies.

Cultural & Local Impact

Against this opulent backdrop, local activists protested overtourism, staging rallies under “No Space for Bezos.” In response, the couple donated €2 million to Venetian heritage causes and donated instead of gifts, softening tensions while fueling global buzz.
