Dream wedding in Venice: Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez say yes!
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez tied the knot in a glamorous ceremony on San Giorgio Island in Venice on June 27, 2025. The celebrations, which lasted at least three days, brought together around 200 celebrity guests, including stars such as Kim Kardashian, Bill Gates, Leonardo DiCaprio and Orlando Bloom. Jeff Bezos, the co-founder of Amazon and the world's richest man with an estimated fortune of $220 billion, appeared in an elegant black tuxedo, while the bride dazzled in a tight white wedding dress with a veil. Lauren Sánchez took the last name Bezos and posted a photo from the wedding party on Instagram.
According to [ZDF], it is speculated that the couple is already secretly married in the USA. While the wedding planning was taken care of by the London company “Lanza & Baucina”, the celebrations are planned for the garden of a Benedictine monastery and a big closing party in the Arsenal district until Sunday evening. The reception was originally planned to take place in another part of Venice, but was moved to the Madonna dell'Orto monastery for security reasons.
Wedding with flashbulbs
Around 250 guests, including celebrities such as Barbara Streisand, Katy Perry and Oprah Winfrey, were invited to the celebrations. Most of the guests arrived by private jet, with around 100 jets applying for permission to land. Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez were accommodated in the five-star “Aman” hotel. For safety reasons, the journey with the luxury yacht “Koru”, which was also originally planned, was ultimately rejected.
The cost of the celebrations is estimated at at least 10 million euros, and according to some reports the sum could even be 40 to 48 million euros, making the wedding one of the most expensive celebrations in recent years. For comparison, the weddings of other celebrity couples like Amal Alamuddin and George Clooney cost around $6.7 million, while Kim Kardashian's wedding to Kanye West was estimated at $4.1 million, as [Krone] reports.
Environmental criticism and public reactions
Despite the radiant cheers, there are also critical voices about the opulent event. Many people expressed concerns about the high environmental impact of mass tourism that the wedding celebrations bring with it. Critics point in particular to the increased CO2 pollution that arises from such large-scale events.
The wedding party has decided to continue the celebrations until Sunday and many are excited for the final star-studded events. However, the prominent host Jeff Bezos and his bride Lauren Sánchez are not only at the center of the action, but also under critical public scrutiny.
Overall, the wedding of Bezos and Sánchez remains a major event that both moves people's hearts and stimulates discussion about luxury and environmental awareness.
