Jeff Bezos And Lauren Sanchez’s Wedding Date Confirmed

Previously, it was rumored that the date was between June 24 and June 29. Now, the precise date has been revealed, and it would occur on the island of San Giorgio.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez have reportedly rented out the island for the festivities, and private vessels have been secured for logistical arrangements.

Ahead of Bezos and Sanchez’s nuptials later this month, a source has confirmed what date the couple will exchange vows.

Speaking with the Daily Mail, the insider claimed that the lovebirds picked June 27, which falls between the previously rumored timeline of June 24 to June 29.

The exact location also appears to be Venice’s San Giorgio, one of the most prestigious islands in the city and home to a 16th-century Benedictine church of the same name.

Already, the couple is said to have rented out the island for six days, during which no visitors will be allowed.

Meanwhile, off the coast of the island, Bezos’s $500 million superyacht Koru will be moored all through the festivities.

Although it is unclear what role the 127 m-long vessel will play during the festivities, the soon-to-be couple has secured a private tender service and other vessels to carry guests to and from Koru, as well as to cater to other logistical arrangements.

Beyond the wedding date confirmation, the source also revealed that the couple has two other high-profile events planned as part of their wedding festivities.

They claimed that the duo set aside June 26 for a gala at a private cloister along the iconic Lid, potentially at Chiostro della Madonna dell’Orto.

The soon-to-be couple is said to have also made plans for a lavish party on June 28 at a palazzo or church.

There, guests will possibly be treated to an array of pastries, as suggested by prior reports that Bezos and Sanchez enlisted the services of local bakery Rosa Salva Venetia.

The bakery is renowned for making treats such as tiramisu, cream-filled flaky pastries, and fritelle, a traditional Italian fried delicacy.

When the festivities are over, guests will reportedly receive handcrafted glassware made by a local artisan brand, Laguna B, as a souvenir.

According to the Daily Mail, the glass pieces come in a variety of motifs and designs, featuring bright colors, stripes, and floral patterns.

One large-sized cup from the collection retails for $167, although it is unclear how much the soon-to-be couple paid to have the gift item made for their guests.

Alongside this glassware, guests will also receive other “opulent” gifts for attending the $7 million wedding.

What these gifts are remains unclear, but fun designer purses could be among them, as Sanchez is a fan of these luxurious items.

It is expected that guests will begin to arrive in Venice over the next few days for the upcoming nuptials.

Bezos and Sanchez chose to keep their invitee list moderate, with 200 being the number of guests expected.

The list comprises friends, family, and business partners of the couple, including names such as Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom, and even members of the Trump family, who are already rumored to be on the list.

These guests have reportedly booked accommodations in most of the top hotels in the city. This includes The Aman Venice, where rooms cost over $2,700 per night, and Hotel Cipriani, which, though slightly less expensive, still comes in at a steep $2,000 per night.

As for Bezos and Sanchez, they are said to have reserved the Grand Canal Suite at the five-star Aman Venice at a whopping $11,600 per night.

“[It is] the biggest they have, and it’s the talk of the hotel,” a source told The Sun. “The room is spectacular and even has access to a rooftop terrace overlooking the city.

Bezos proposed to Sánchez in May 2023, years after their public debut as a couple in January 2019.

Before their relationship, Bezos was married to MacKenzie Scott for 25 years, while Sánchez was with her former husband, Patrick Whitesell.

Though the pair is often seen on Bezos’s yacht or enjoying extravagant getaways, Sánchez told People Magazine in August that their happiest moments are usually the simplest.

“My favorite time is when the house is calm and quiet, and Jeff and I are deciding what show we’re going to binge that night,” Sánchez said.
