When Is Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s Wedding?
While Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez have kept the exact date of their highly anticipated wedding under lock and key, whispers from multiple sources suggest the grand festivities will begin June 24–26. Some speculation, however, hints that the ceremony itself might not come until the 28th.
Where Is Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s Wedding?
In late 2024, it was rumored that the couple would exchange vows in Aspen, Colorado, during the Christmas holidays. However, Bezos denied those reports. The wedding location was finally revealed in March, when a spokesperson for Venice’s mayor confirmed the couple’s grand celebration would take place in the historic city.
The announcement sparked an immediate reaction, especially among Venice residents concerned that an event of this scale could bring the city to a standstill, with key areas becoming no-go zones.
