Since Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and former television journalist Lauren Sánchez announced their engagement in May 2023, speculation about their wedding has captured global attention. From tabloid headlines to high-profile social events — including Sánchez’s reportedly $625,000 bachelorette party in Paris attended by celebrities such as Katy Perry and Kim Kardashian — the couple’s nuptials have become a hot topic worldwide.
Here is what is currently known about the highly anticipated wedding.
When Will Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Get Married?
Though the couple has not publicly confirmed an exact date, sources indicate the wedding is expected to take place in late June.
Where Will the Ceremony Be Held?
Contrary to earlier rumors suggesting Aspen, Colorado, the wedding will be held in Venice, Italy. A spokesperson for Venice’s mayor assured the press that the city is ready to host the event, which will include around 200 guests. “Only 200 guests will have been invited and therefore it will be easy for Venice to accommodate such an event, without any disruption whatsoever to the city, its residents, and visitors,” the spokesperson said.
Who Is Expected to Attend?
While the full guest list remains under wraps, close friends of Lauren Sánchez such as Katy Perry, Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, and Eva Longoria are widely expected to attend. The couple’s engagement party also saw attendance from notable figures including Leonardo DiCaprio, Bill Gates, and Queen Rania of Jordan, suggesting they may also be invited to the wedding.
How Did the Engagement Happen?
Jeff Bezos proposed to Lauren Sánchez in May 2023 aboard their superyacht, Koru. The proposal was a surprise, with Bezos hiding the ring under Sánchez’s pillow. Recalling the moment in an interview with Vogue, Sánchez said, “When he opened the box, I think I blacked out a bit.”
