Leonardo DiCaprio and Vittoria Ceretti are set to be among the prominent guests at what’s shaping up to be one of the year’s most high-profile weddings: the nuptials of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez. The couple, who have been linked since mid-2023, are reportedly attending the lavish celebration in Venice, Italy, where Bezos and Sánchez are tying the knot. While the exact venue hasn’t been disclosed, it’s confirmed the wedding will be hosted within the historic city, drawing a curated group of just 200 guests.
In addition to DiCaprio and Ceretti, the guest list reads like a who’s who of celebrity culture and influential circles. Lauren Sánchez’s ex, former NFL player Tony Gonzalez, is attending alongside their son Nikko, highlighting the blended and amicable nature of the event. Sánchez’s Paris bachelorette celebration in May hinted at more familiar names, with Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Katy Perry, and Eva Longoria all participating in that pre-wedding festivity—and all expected to be in Venice as well.
Despite the buzz, the event is being handled with discretion and care, especially in a city as sensitive and tourist-heavy as Venice. The mayor, Luigi Brugnaro, emphasized that the wedding would not disrupt daily life, reaffirming that the organizers are working with local authorities to respect the city’s cultural and environmental integrity.
As for the wedding itself, it reflects the couple’s shared values and opulence with a meaningful twist. Invitations feature intricate artwork of Venetian elements like gondoliers and butterflies and come with a heartfelt note: guests are asked not to bring gifts. Instead, Bezos and Sánchez are contributing on behalf of each attendee to three local initiatives in Venice—the UNESCO Venice Office, CORILA for lagoon restoration, and the Venice International University’s sustainability efforts. In doing so, they’re turning a personal celebration into an opportunity to give back to a city they clearly hold in high regard.
