Location of Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos’ Wedding Revealed as Invitations are Sent Out

Reports indicate that Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos have sent out invitations for their upcoming wedding, with the official location also disclosed.

Lauren Sanchez, a 55-year-old Emmy-winning journalist, recently got engaged to Jeff Bezos, the 61-year-old Amazon founder, almost two years ago in May 2023.

The wedding ceremony is set to happen during the summer in Venice, Italy, as reported by Dylan Byers on X over the weekend.

DailyMail.com has reached out to Lauren and Jeff’s representatives for comment.

Italy has been a popular destination for weddings among A-list celebrities in the past, including George Clooney, Tom Cruise, Jessica Chastain, Chrissy Teigen and Kourtney Kardashian.

The exact date of the nuptials is not known – but the couple have often spent time in Italy. Not long after becoming engaged, Sanchez and Bezos notably celebrated the milestone with a glitzy bash on his yacht in Positano.

Lauren Sanchez, 55, and Jeff Bezos, 61, have reportedly sent out invitations to their upcoming nuptials – with the wedding destination also officially revealed; seen earlier this month in Beverly Hills 

The Amazon CEO and Lauren were first romantically linked in 2019, and became engaged in May 2023.

He notably popped the big question to Sanchez with a $2.5 million ring nearly five years of dating. 

During a past interview with Vogue, the author briefly recalled the special moment and remembered he had hid the ring under a pillow which she found while getting ready for bed. 

She then admitted to the outlet, ‘When he opened the box, I think I blacked out a bit.’ 

When asked if she would be taking Jeff’s last name upon tying the knot, Sanchez replied with, ‘Uh, yes, one hundred percent. I am looking forward to being Mrs. Bezos.’ 

And in regards to marrying the billionaire, Lauren expressed, ‘I think there are a lot of opportunities that come with that, and I take those opportunities very seriously. We always look at each other and go, “We’re the team.’ So everything’s shared.’

When it came to a possible designer for wedding gown, she listed off some brands such as Valentino and Dolce & Gabbana while adding, ‘There’s so many incredible designers.’  

Late last year in November, Sanchez briefly discussed wedding plans during an interview on Today.

Invitations have now been sent out for the ceremony that will take place during the summer in Venice, Italy – which was first reported by Dylan Byers on X on Saturday

When asked if she would be taking Jeff’s last name upon tying the knot, Sanchez replied with, ‘Uh, yes, one hundred percent. I am looking forward to being Mrs. Bezos’

‘Very excited about it, thinking about the dress. I have to say, I do have a Pinterest. I’m just like every other bride,’ she expressed.

‘I never thought at 54 – I’m going to be 55 – that I’d be an author, that I’d be getting married. I mean, life is just beginning.’

New York-based bridal stylist and designer Barbara Letizia also offered her thoughts to DailyMail.com about what Sanchez might wear on the big day. 

She suggested that the journalist could possibly opt for a ‘mermaid-style gown’ and added, ‘I see her in a gown that accentuates her curves. 

‘I think it will have some sort of beading and crystals. She may even have a corseted bodice with a sheer or lace element because she has worn similar styles to past events.

‘Either a very thin strap or a strapless neckline would look great on her – especially a sweetheart neckline!’ 

Letizia also suggested Lauren would have an outfit change for the reception and could don an ensemble that was ‘fitted and sparkly’ or have a ‘leg slit.’

Kate Loscalzo – the lead bridal stylist and founder of Something White Styling – also told DailyMail.com that Lauren could perhaps wear a gown from Oscar de la Renta.

‘I could also see her going with a unique textured gown by Vera Wang, but there is no doubt that she’ll have an impeccable lineup of looks and outfit changes throughout the wedding weekend.’ 

She added, ‘Based on her personal style, she seems like she is willing to try new things and make a statement with her outfits, and her wedding wardrobe will be no exception.’

In regards to what she would personally dress Sanchez in for her wedding, Kate said she would choose a ‘corseted, liquid satin gown with a fitted or column skirt and a subtle slit.

‘This would accentuate her petite figure and define her waistline without overwhelming her. A dramatic veil or cape could add a touch of drama for the ceremony. Later, she could change into a glitzy mini dress for the reception.’

Makeup artist Brielle Bahr told DailyMail.com that Sanchez could opt for a ‘polished’ and ‘glamorous’ look. 

Claims arose late last year that Lauren and Jeff had plans to tie the knot during a $600 million Christmas wedding in Aspen.

However, Bezos took to X to slam the speculation and shared, ‘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,’ the businessman added.

‘So be careful out there folks and don’t be gullible. 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.’

After Bezos shut down reports that both he and Lauren would marry in Aspen, a source recently told DailyMail.com that their nuptials were still ‘on.’ 

The insider confirmed that the couple would say ‘I do’ later this year during the summer season. 

Plans for the big day have already been ‘inked in’ with the source adding that, ‘You won’t miss this one when it happens.’

It is not known who will be in attendance at the wedding, but both Lauren and Jeff have often been pictured with celebrity pals such as Leonardo DiCaprio. 

Bezos was previously married to MacKenzie Scott from 1993 through 2019 – and the former couple share four children. 

Sanchez was also married to Patrick Whitesell from 2005 until their divorce was finalized in 2019. 

They welcomed two children during the course of their relationship and Lauren is also mother to son Nikko – whom she shares with former NFL player Tony Gonzalez.
