When billionaire Jeff Bezos and media personality Lauren Sanchez exchange vows in Venice this summer, their celebration is poised to set a new standard for ultra-luxury weddings.

The extravagance was inevitable from when the Amazon founder proposed to the Emmy-award-winning journalist with a staggering $2.5 million diamond engagement ring in 2023.

Now, as Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s wedding approaches, several reports have revealed insider details about what the world should expect.

The Couple’s Wedding Is ‘Poised To Be A Defining Social Event Of 2025’

Ever since Jeff Bezos proposed to Lauren Sanchez in 2023 with a $2.5 million diamond ring, speculation has swirled about where the billionaire and the media personality would exchange vows.

While Venice has since emerged as the likely setting for this “highly exclusive” and “tightly-coordinated celebration,” the exact venue within the historic city continues to be a closely guarded secret.

But for now, it’s no surprise that the duo chose Venice as the place to take their relationship to the next level, given their “shared history with the city.”

“Choosing Venice is more than a romantic gesture —it’s a nod to the couple’s shared history with the city, which they’ve frequently visited during their relationship… the wedding is poised to be a defining social event of 2025, not only for the couple but for Venice itself.” read a local report, per the Daily Mail.

If there is still any doubt about Venice being the location, reports have revealed that two of its most exclusive hotels, the legendary Gritti Palace and the seven-star Aman Venice, have been booked out from June 26-29. The dates are now widely believed to mark the couple’s wedding festivities.

Additionally, these reports have claimed that the “entire fleet of water taxis will be made available to shuttle guests across the canals.”

Jeff Bezos’ Yatch Will Be ‘Involved’ In The Celebrations

For months, rumors swirled that Bezos’ $500 million yacht, Koru, might be the venue for the nuptials.

It was where Bezos proposed to Sánchez, and many thought it would be fitting to host the wedding there, given that it is the largest masted yacht ever built, measuring 127 meters long.

However, those speculations now seem to have been refuted by some sources who claim the yacht is only “involved” in the celebrations.

“I promise you the wedding is not on the boat,” an insider close to the couple told a local news outlet.

It is likely that the yacht will be used to take guests on excursions during the festivities and may serve as the starting point for the couple’s honeymoon.

No matter the final decision, the yacht will be anchored in the Arsenale area of the city due to regulatory requirements.

Who Are The Stars On Jeff Bezos And Lauren Sanchez’s Wedding Guest List?

As the wedding date approaches, reports suggest a frenzy among A-listers eager to secure an invite to the high-profile event.

“People are calling everyone they know. Old friends, ex-flames, assistants of assistants – just trying to figure out who got an invite. And more importantly, who didn’t,” a source told Radar Online.

For now, fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg and her husband, billionaire media mogul Barry Diller, are among the few believed to have secured an invite.

Additionally, prominent figures like former President Donald Trump, Leonardo DiCaprio, Bill Gates, and Oprah Winfrey are also rumored to be on the guest list due to their close ties with the groom.

According to TMZ, the guest list also includes stars such as Eva Longoria, Gayle King, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom, Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, model Karlie Kloss and her husband, Joshua Kushner.

Lauren Sanchez Is ‘Looking Forward To Being Mrs Bezos’

Despite the wedding being years in the making, there was never any doubt it would happen, given how the couple has consistently praised each other in interviews.

Sanchez once said in a 2023 interview that she was “100 percent looking forward to being Mrs Bezos.”

At a different time, she told the world that Bezos “inspires” her daily and is the “most loving human” she knows.

On his part, Bezos heaped praises on his fiancee in an interview with CNN.

“Lauren is the most generous, most big-hearted person that you would ever meet… She never misses a birthday,” he said. “The network of people that she gives birthday presents to is gigantic. And that’s just a small example.”

The billionaire tech mogul added, “We’re really great teammates, and we also have a lot of fun together. And we love each other.”

The Billionaire Shut Down Rumors About $600M Wedding

Prior to sending out invitations for their wedding, rumors swirled that the power couple would tie the knot in a $600 million Aspen wedding in December last year.

However, Bezos took to X to address the speculation at the time, writing, “This whole thing is completely false – none of this is happening. The old adage ‘don’t believe everything you read’ is even more true today than it ever has been.”

“Now lies can get ALL the way around the world before the truth can get its pants on,” he added. “So be careful out there, folks, and don’t be gullible. It will be interesting to see if all the outlets that ‘covered’ and re-reported on this issue a correction when it comes and goes and doesn’t happen.”
