From private islands to star-studded guests, here’s how the Bezos-Sánchez wedding became 2025’s most talked-about event, both on the red carpet and in the headlines.
A Lavish Venetian Affair
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Emmy-winning journalist Lauren Sánchez officially tied the knot on June 27, 2025, in a breathtaking black-tie ceremony on San Giorgio Maggiore, a private island in Venice, Italy. The three-day affair, rumored to cost upwards of $50 million, turned the floating city into a playground for A-listers and power players.
Guest List: From Silicon Valley to Hollywood Royalty
More than 200 celebrity guests made waves in Venice, including Oprah Winfrey, Kim Kardashian, Tom Brady, Leonardo DiCaprio, and even Queen Rania of Jordan. Attendees arrived via water taxis, with paparazzi flashes reflecting off the canals as glittering couture swept across marble steps.
Fashion & Flash: Every Look Turned Heads
Lauren Sánchez made multiple outfit changes, including a vintage Alexander McQueen gown, while guests like Kylie Jenner dropped jaws in icy blue couture. From dramatic trains to oversized diamond accessories, the fashion moments alone lit up social feeds for days.
Glamour Meets Backlash
Not everyone was celebrating. Environmental groups, including Greenpeace, staged protests, criticizing the event’s carbon footprint and highlighting Venice’s struggles with overtourism. Protesters even floated a Bezos effigy through the canals with banners, calling for greater tax accountability from billionaires.
Still, city officials praised the event for bringing global attention to Venice, while the couple encouraged donations to local charities instead of receiving wedding gifts.
