With their wedding just days away, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez got the party started early with a foam party aboard the billionaire’s megayacht in Venice, Italy.
With their nuptials just days away, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and fiancee Lauren Sanchez started celebrating early by having some fun at a foam party before the main event.
While the pair’s wedding details are not explicitly confirmed, reports have stated they are going to happen on the billionaire’s superyacht in Venice, Italy. It is expected to be a three-day extravaganza that has also been met with major protests from Venice locals.
Despite backlash towards their grand affair, the pair seems ready to make their wedded bliss official, and got the celebrations started early with the recent lavish foam party on the yacht, the Koru.

However, according to TMZ, the main purpose of the celebration was to honor Sanchez’s son Evan, who was celebrating his 19th birthday.
In photos obtained by the publication, the pair was spotted on the deck of the boat, covered in suds and engaging in PDA, with small glimpses seemingly showcasing Sanchez, 55, in a skimpy bikini, and Bezos, 61, looking muscular.
The sighting comes just days before they are expected to tie the knot in the Italian city.
TMZ also reports that the couple is planning to stay at the Aman Venice, a luxury hotel in the city which their guests will also be staying at–and the property is fully booked up from Wednesday, June 25 through Suday, June 29.
It’s not yet confirmed if the wedding will take place on Bezos’ yacht, or if there will be a traditional church setting for the couple’s vows.
While details, including a guest list, are being kept under wraps, several high-profile celebrities who have been close to the couple could be among the few who received an invitation.
Among some speculated names are Kim Kardashian and her mom, Kris Jenner, actor Orlando Bloom, who is attending without fiancee Katy Perry, who is in the midst of her Lifetimes tour, Eva Longoria, Jessica Alba, Jewel, Mick Jagger, Kathy Hilton, Oprah, Gayle King and famed divorce attorney Laura Wasserman.
Other potential attendees who were seen at the couple’s engagement party in 2023 are Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield and Queen of Jordan Rania Al Abdullah.
It’s unclear if President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump received an invite, after Sanchez and Bezos had front-row seats at his second presidential Inauguration in January.
However, The Daily Mail reports that his daughter, Ivanka Trump, and her husband Jared Kushner, as well as his brother Joshua and his wife, model Karlie Kloss, are all on the guest list.
While there have been concerns over what the nuptials could mean for locals and the city, wedding planner Lanza and Baucina Limited, who also were behind George and Amal Clooney’s 2014 nuptials and Salma Hayek and Francois-Henri Pinault’s wedding in 2009, said that the couple was focused on preserving the city’s charm, culture and well-being.
“From the outset, instructions from our client and our own guiding principles were abundantly clear: the minimizing of any disruption to the city, the respect for its residents and institutions, and the overwhelming employment of locals in the crafting of the events,” they said in a statement.
