Even Kim's famous family members—Khloe, Kendall, Kylie, and momager Kris Jenner—were spotted at the star-studded affair.
But despite being surrounded by A-listers and an opulent setting, Kim couldn't seem to stay off her phone.

That move didn't sit well with everyone, sparking a wave of backlash online.
'The obvious attention seeking is really off putting,' wrote one X user.
Another referenced Kim's famous reality show and the Kardashian family's signature use of the letter K, posting, 'Keeping it Klassy.'
One critic took aim at her outfit choice, dragging her for promoting a controversial brand.
'Still supporting disgusting Balenciaga while attending this wasteful climate nightmare event,' they wrote.
Others compared Kim to Bianca Censori, the risqué-dressing wife of her ex-husband, Kanye West.
'Why is she cosplaying Bianca Censori?' one wrote.
Another chimed in, 'I thought this was Bianca. I like Kim, in general, but this look just screams 'money can't buy class.'
Meanwhile, Jeff and Lauren reportedly shelled out a staggering $20 million for their extravagant multi-day wedding bash.
As guests arrived at the ultra-luxe event, they were welcomed by the stirring sounds of trumpets, violins, and a soulful Gospel choir.
That same choir returned to belt out Whitney Houston's Higher Love right after the couple exchanged their vows, with guests cheering and singing along during the heartfelt moment.
Opera singer Matteo Bocelli kicked off the wedding reception with a touching tribute, opening his set with the timeless Elvis Presley classic I Can't Help Falling in Love With You.
The son of renowned tenor Andrea Bocelli stepped in since his father was tied up with concerts in southern Italy over the weekend.
Earlier in the day, award-winning journalist Sanchez made a chic first appearance, stepping out of the five-star Aman Hotel in a sophisticated white Dior puff-sleeve suit, perfectly accessorized with a headscarf and oversized sunglasses.
She also flashed a dazzling new giant diamond ring that caught plenty of attention.
It was revealed last night that Jeff and Lauren had already legally tied the knot before today's official ceremony on San Giorgio Maggiore island.
The star-studded celebrations kicked off Thursday evening with a lavish welcome dinner at the Campo Della Madonna dell'Orto.
However, the billionaire couple and their A-list entourage had to seek shelter when a sudden thunderstorm rolled in during the pre-wedding party.
Lauren wowed in a shimmering $100,000 gown by Daniel Roseberry, featuring intricate embroidery of swirling vines and florals in rich blue, green, and gold tones over a champagne-colored base.
To mark the grand occasion, the couple reportedly rented out multiple locations around the city.
An insider told DailyMail.com last week that San Giorgio Maggiore island is essentially 'off-limits to visitors' from June 24 through June 29.
Originally, a massive party was scheduled for Saturday night at the Scuola Grande della Misericordia, but local media report it has since been relocated to another venue in the Arsenale district.

Kim Kardashian's daughter North West, 12, has fans all saying the same thing about her viral video
Kim Kardashian 's tween daughter North West has gone viral for appearing in influencer Chris Smoove's latest video. The 12-year-old nepo baby, whose dad is controversy-plagued Kanye West, rocked her hair in knee-length blue braids and a gothic-inspired shirt, shorts, and sneakers. Chris, who's known for profiling celebrities and their designer threads, asked North how much her outfit cost, piece by piece. And she sent the internet into hysterics as she gave the same answer for each question: 'I don't know.' Fans convened in the comments section of the post, collectively agreeing that the youngster is 'just like' her famous father. 'Daddy's daughter,' one person wrote, along with a string of crying laughing emojis and one shrug emoji. Chris, who's known for profiling celebrities and their designer threads, asked North how much her outfit cost, piece by piece. And she sent the internet into hysterics as she gave the same answer for each question: 'I don't know' Someone else said North was 'Princess Yeezy Fasho,' referencing Kanye's popular clothing line. Another social media user declared, 'She definitely has her dad's personality for SURE.' 'She just like her daddy,' influencer Nick Yardy added.' North's interview echoed her dad's 2021 chat with Smoove, during which he answered 'I don't know' for most of the questions presented to him as he rocked an all-black ensemble. The Chicago-bred rapped did, however, divulge that the watch he was wearing at the time ran him $200,000. Chris captioned this week's video featuring North, 'How much is your outfit worth? North West Pulled a YE on me,' adding crying laughing emojis. It comes after the Kim and Kanye's firstborn of four children recently celebrated her June 15 birthday on a yacht in Mexico. Another social media user declared, 'She definitely has her dad's personality for SURE' In addition to North, the exes also share son Saint, nine, daughter Chicago, seven, and son Psalm, six. They were married from 2014 until the television star filed for divorce in February 2021. West moved on with busty Bianca Censori, 30, marrying her in December 2022, the month after his divorce was finalized. Together they're known for their outlandish public appearances, which often see the Australian architect scantily clad. Meanwhile, since leaving the YZY creator, Kim has been romantically involved with Pete Davidson, and linked to Tom Brady. The 44-year-old bombshell billionaire is currently in Italy, where she's enjoying Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos' wedding festivities. The bombshell billionaire was trolled on social media ahead of the weekend for making the Bezos wedding 'all about her' as she posted racy content to social media. The lavish celebration kicked off with pre-wedding festivities at the historic Madonna dell'Orto cloisters, where A-listers including Leonardo DiCaprio, Oprah Winfrey, Orlando Bloom, and Ivanka Trump mingled under candlelight. Some of Kim's famous family — Khloe Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, and momager Kris Jenner — were also at the star-studded affair. But despite being surrounded by celebrities and an opulent setting, Kim couldn't seem to stay off her phone. She was spotted snapping selfies throughout the day — and in between her self-staged photo shoots, she slipped in a sizzling SKIMS promo, flaunting an animal print bikini on social media.
