Jeff Bezos & Lauren Sanchez's Wedding Guests Kept in the Dark About Details, Says ‘Source'
and wedding festivities have begun in Venice, Italy, but the couple has reportedly kept the venue details a secret, even from their guests. According to a source, the wedding guests were informed about the time that they should be ready. However, no information about the venue was conveyed to them. The news came after the Amazon founder faced massive backlash and protestors disrupted the preparations, impacting their security.
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez arrived in Venice on June 25, followed by many A-list wedding guests, but the couple has kept the venue a secret amid protests, per PEOPLE. Due to security reasons, the invitees were not informed about the location. They were only asked to get ready by a particular time.
The couple's three-day festivities were supposed to be a high-end ceremony. However, it turned into a 'PR nightmare' as locals took over the Italian city, holding anti-Bezos signs and posters. An insider told Rob Shuter that the journalist is 'being painted as the villain in a billionaire horror show.' Thus, the security is tighter, which may also have irked the protestors.
Meanwhile, some of the A-list guests who have arrived include Ivanka Trump, her husband Jared Kushner, and Diane von Fürstenberg. Some reports have suggested that many big names have backed out of attending the ceremony amid protests.
According to PEOPLE, the star-studded wedding is to be held over multiple days. On June 26, the festivities begin with a welcome night at the Madonna dell'Orto church. The next day, Bezos and Sanchez are expected to tie the knot, following a black-tie theme. It is seemingly going to be organized on the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore off of Venice. The final day will be all about a relaxed evening dinner at the Arsenal of Venice.

Leonardo DiCaprio Suffers Epic Disguise Fail at Bezos Wedding
Academy Award winner Leonardo DiCaprio is in attendance at the wedding of the year, but it appears he'd rather you didn't know that. The 50-year-old was photographed at Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's wedding in Venice, Italy, alongside his Italian supermodel girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti, 27, who was not in disguise. In the photos, Leo, who is otherwise in black tie attire, sports a black Los Angeles Dodgers baseball cap pulled incredibly low, almost entirely covering his eyes. Unfortunately for Leo, a baseball cap is no match for eagle-eyed fans and paparazzi. Leonardo DiCaprio was spotted arriving at Venice airport ahead of Jeff Bezos' wedding (June 26, 2025).📸 More photos: — Leonardo DiCaprio Fan (@dicapriofans) June 27, 2025 The actor is no stranger to attempting to go incognito—he was photographed arriving in Venice for the wedding once again dressed in all-black, with a hoodie, baseball cap, and mask obscuring much of his face. Fans on social media were quick to roast Leo for his botched attempt at a disguise, with many wondering why exactly he was so eager to cover up. Several wondered if he was embarrassed to be spotted attending the wedding of such controversial figures as Bezos and Sánchez, particularly considering his track record as an environmental activist. One X user wrote, 'Why is Leonardo DiCaprio still pretending to be this Hollywood climate activist and then he goes to Jeff Bezos' wedding and is on a yacht every week. What a fake frau[d]ster,' while a fan on Instagram wrote, 'For someone who loves the environment I'm pretty shocked he was at this wedding.' Venice residents, who have been protesting the wedding for weeks, are upset at the potential for disruption in the already overwhelmed city, as well as the presence of Bezos himself. Last week, protesters unfurled signs over the Rialto Bridge that read, 'NO SPACE FOR BEZOS,' while another showed Bezos with a red X over his face. At another protest earlier this week, activists took over the Piazza San Marco with a sign that read, 'IF YOU CAN RENT VENICE FOR YOUR WEDDING YOU CAN PAY MORE TAX.' Venice has been struggling with the issue of overtourism for years, and city authorities have attempted to alleviate some of the burden by implementing a tourist tax, though critics have argued the tax is insufficient. DiCaprio has spent much of his career advocating for environmental causes as both an individual and on behalf of the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, which has supported more than 200 projects in 50 countries since 1998. He has also produced several documentary films about the climate crisis, including The 11th Hour and Before the Flood. The actor's commitment to environmental causes is what makes his attendance at the wedding so strange to some fans, considering both the wedding's environmental impact—on top of everything else, several guests arrived on private jets—and Bezos' own track record, which is murky at best. A 2022 report found that Amazon, the company Bezos founded in 1994 and of which he is still executive chairman, drastically undercounts its own carbon footprint. Other analyses have found that Amazon generated 599 million pounds of plastic packaging waste in 2020 alone, contributing significantly to pollution, particularly of the world's oceans. Other environmental activists have honed in on Bezos for the role he has played in accelerating climate change. In 2023, a group called Amazon Employees for Climate Justice published an open letter titled, 'Amazon is failing its own Climate Pledge,' ahead of an organized walkout. In it, the group criticized their employer for failing to meet the standards set by the Climate Pledge announced by Bezos in 2019. At the time, Bezos said of the decision to make the pledge, 'We're done being in the middle of the herd on this issue—we've decided to use our size and scale to make a difference.' Four years on from the pledge, Amazon's emissions had increased by 40 percent, and it had abandoned commitments like the Shipment Zero pledge to make half of all shipments net-zero carbon by 2030. In his acceptance speech at the Academy Awards for Best Actor for his role in The Revenant, DiCaprio told the crowd, 'Climate change is real, it is happening right now.' 'It is the most urgent threat facing our entire species and we need to work collectively together and stop procrastinating.'

PEOPLE confirmed that the Emmy award-winning journalist, 55, tied the knot with the billionaire Amazon founder, 61, on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, Italy, on Friday, June 27. The nuptials, which were preceded by a star-studded welcome party, are being capped off with a final blowout bash on Saturday night, June 28. A source told PEOPLE that two of the newlyweds' friends and favorite musicians, Usher and DJ Cassidy, will perform at the party. "[They're] going to set the tone. Tonight is all about the music," the source said of the musical performances. "It's the culmination, the final big party." "First night was dinner, second was the ceremony with Andrea Bocelli's son performing, and tonight's the full-on dance floor," the source added. Ahead of the soirée, a number of the couple's celebrity guests were photographed getting into water taxis en route to the venue, including Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Kris Jenner and Brooks Nader. Just hours after the ceremony, Lauren shared her first wedding photo on Instagram, the account name and bio of which quickly changed to "Lauren Sánchez Bezos." About half an hour after her first post, Lauren shared a second post gushing over her wedding dress — a high-necked, hand-appliquéd Italian lace wedding dress designed by Dolce & Gabbana. is now available in the Apple App Store! Download it now for the most binge-worthy celeb content, exclusive video clips, astrology updates and more! "Not just a gown, a piece of poetry. Thank you @dolcegabbana for the magic you made," Lauren wrote. In Vogue's June 2025 digital cover story, Lauren said that she felt "like a princess" in the gown. She had met with designer Domenico Dolce in New York City more than a year and a half ago to start crafting her dream dress, which was inspired by another celebrity. She told the outlet her "timeless" dress was based on the high-necked lace wedding dress Sophia Loren wore to marry Cary Grant in the 1958 film Houseboat. Jeff and Lauren went public with their relationship in 2019. Four years later, the Blue Origin founder proposed to the former journalist with a 30-carat engagement ring in May 2023. The pair were on vacation in the South of France when the billionaire popped the question, and Lauren was photographed rocking her cushion-cut engagement ring as she spent time with her fiancé on his yacht soon after. A source previously told PEOPLE that Jeff and Lauren were "on cloud nine — so happy and madly in love" after their engagement news. Following the engagement, the couple kept their wedding plans private, though they shared bits and pieces here and there. Lauren revealed in a November appearance on the Today show that she had been using Pinterest to figure out what she wants for the ceremony. "I'm just like every other bride," she said, adding that she was thinking about her ceremony dress. Read the original article on People
