Forget royal weddings or red carpet galas—Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez are about to throw a celebration that could top them all.
Set against the dreamy backdrop of Venice, Italy, their summer wedding is shaping up to be a dazzling spectacle of love, glam, and A-list entertainment.
And yes, they’ve brought in the big guns to make sure it’s a night no one forgets.
Lady Gaga and Elton John Set to Perform at the Venetian Bash
You read that right. According to sources close to the couple, Lady Gaga and Elton John have both signed on to sing at the wedding.
These two Grammy-winning legends—who also happen to be good friends—will be taking the stage to serenade the couple and their VIP guest list.
“It’s not every day you get Gaga and Elton on the same stage,” an insider shared. “Lauren wanted something unforgettable—and this is it.
It’s basically a private concert from two of the greatest performers alive.”
No word yet on exactly what songs they’ll perform, but a few crowd-pleasing hits and a possible duet are reportedly in the works.
A Three-Day Celebration in Venice With 200 VIP Guests
The wedding is expected to take place over three days between June 24 and 26, fitting perfectly between Gaga’s touring commitments.
And while it won’t be a massive crowd, it will definitely be star-studded, with around 200 people on the guest list.
Confirmed names include Kim Kardashian, Katy Perry, Oprah Winfrey, and even Leonardo DiCaprio and Barbra Streisand.
The Mayor of Venice himself, Luigi Brugnaro, confirmed the event and emphasized the city’s full support in hosting it.
Interestingly, that’s about 50 more guests than George and Amal Clooney had at their lavish 2014 Venice wedding.
No, It’s Not Happening on Jeff’s Yacht
Let’s clear up the confusion: the wedding is NOT taking place on Bezos’ $500 million yacht, Koru, even though that’s where he popped the question in 2023.
A city spokesperson initially told CNN otherwise, but sources close to the couple set the record straight.
So where will it happen? Somewhere historic and iconic within Venice—but exactly where remains a well-guarded secret for now.
Vogue Might Score the Exclusive Wedding Photos
There’s buzz that Vogue could be getting exclusive access to the wedding photos, which wouldn’t be surprising given the high-fashion vibes surrounding the event.
The couple has already been spotted shopping for outfits in Milan, stopping by Dolce & Gabbana for their wedding looks.
White garment bags were seen being carried out of the store by handlers as Lauren and Jeff exited hand-in-hand, with security in tow.
The City of Venice Is Keeping Things Under Control
Mayor Brugnaro also addressed growing concerns about how such a big celebrity event might affect the city.
He assured the public that Venice is used to major events—like the Venice Film Festival—and that this wedding will be managed with care.
“We’re working closely with the organizers to make sure everything respects the city’s beauty and uniqueness,” he stated. “There won’t be any disruption to everyday life.”
Lauren’s Brother Predicts a Royal-Level Wedding
Lauren’s brother, Paul Sánchez, is pretty excited. He told TMZ the wedding would be “like a Princess Di thing”—huge, glamorous, and fun.
“It’s going to be an amazing event. Star-studded and just a blast,” he gushed.
Their Love Story Started in 2019 and Is Still Going Strong
Bezos and Sánchez made their relationship public in 2019 after Jeff’s split from his ex-wife, MacKenzie Scott. Since then, the couple has appeared inseparable.
He proposed in 2023 with a jaw-dropping $2.5 million pink diamond ring, which Lauren joked caused her to “black out” f
om surprise.
The engagement was later celebrated at a swanky Beverly Hills party with guests like Kim Kardashian and Oprah in attendance.
Lauren Will Officially Become Mrs. Bezos
In a 2023 interview with Vogue, Lauren confirmed she’ll be taking Bezos’ last name once they tie the knot.
“Uh, yes, 100 percent. I am looking forward to being Mrs. Bezos,” she said proudly.
And Jeff, for his part, had nothing but glowing words for his fiancée. “She’s the most generous, big-hearted person I’ve ever met,” he told CNN.
“We’re great teammates—and we just have so much fun together.”
What’s Next for the Couple After the Wedding?
Well, space, for starters. Lauren will be joining an all-female space crew on Jeff’s New Shepard rocket, which includes Gayle King and possibly Katy Perry, for an 11-minute suborbital flight.
Because why stop at a fairy-tale wedding in Venice when you can also shoot for the stars?
