Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos pulled out all the stops for their over-the-top nuptials in Venice, Italy.
After the couple tied the knot in front of their family and high-profile friends in a luxurious ceremony on the San Giorgio Maggiore island on Friday, they hosted an over-the-top reception where everyone had “a blast,” according to TMZ.
While the outlet claims nobody single hooked up with each other, Tom Brady “danced with everyone,” including Sydney Sweeney and a newly single Brooks Nader.
Brady was “all over the place,” the outlet further reported — he even, at one point, took the reins from Kygo in the DJ booth.
Fresh off his split from Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom was also spotted making his rounds on the dance floor, according to TMZ. However, like Brady, he didn’t hone in on anyone in particular.
Bezos and Sánchez were also spotted having a good time as Ellie Goulding performed four or five songs. Andrea Bocelli’s son Matteo sang as well.
The food was all Italian, consisting of a lot of pasta and meats.
After the reception ended, guests like Bloom, Brady, Sweeney and the Kardashians moved on to the Gritti Palace, where they reportedly laughed and drank past 3 a.m.
Reps for Brady and Sweeney didn’t immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
As for the wedding ceremony, Sánchez looked elegant in a long-sleeved, corseted lace gown by Dolce & Gabbana, while Bezos looked handsome in a classic tuxedo.
The Amazon founder, 61, proposed to his partner, 55, in May 2023 after four years together.
In March, Venice Mayor Luigi Brugnaro confirmed that the pair would walk down the aisle in the floating Italian city without specifying the venue.
Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner and more A-listers helped Sánchez get ready for her big day with a Parisian bachelorette party last month.
“Forever starts with friendship, surrounded by the women who’ve lifted me up, illuminated my path in dark times, and shaped my heart along the way,” the former journalist gushed via Instagram in May.
“Thank you for surprising me, lifting me up, and reminding me how much I needed this moment,” she continued. “I love your hearts and your beautiful energy more than words can say.”
In addition to Kardashian, 44, and Jenner, 69, Sánchez and Bezos’ star-studded wedding guest list included Oprah Winfrey, Leonardo DiCaprio, Bloom and more celebs.
The couple, who requested that their loved ones not give them gifts, donated to Venetian charities in their attendees’ honor so that “Venice will continue to inspire wonder for generations to come.”
Before Ivanka Trump and more guests began touching down in Venice on Tuesday, Sánchez and Bezos threw a lavish foam party on his $500 million superyacht, Koru.
A fleet of other multimillion-dollar yachts, notably, have been swarming the city’s waterways all week.
The bride and groom arrived in Venice on Wednesday via helicopter and were all smiles as they walked hand-in-hand and greeted onlookers.
They rented out the entire luxe Aman hotel, with guests booted to different local lodgings to make room.
As the wedding neared, it sparked Venetian protests demanding Bezos “pay more” taxes — but local sources told Page Six that the duo have “contingency plans” in place to outwit paparazzi and protesters.
“The couple has deliberately kept multiple options open, booking several venues across a range of dates,” the insider claimed. “The strategy serves … to mislead.”
We heard that even guests were kept in the dark about location “details.”
The wedding marks the second for both Sánchez and Bezos, who were previously married to Patrick Whitesell and MacKenzie Scott, respectively.
