Kylie Jenner, her sister Kendall Jenner and their mother Kris Jenner were among the A-Listers who headed off to Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s post-wedding bash on Saturday, June 28.
The Kardashians stars, model Brooks Nader, Gayle King and Leonardo DiCaprio – yes, he covered his face with a black Dodgers ball cap again – were all photographed boarding water taxis on Saturday night to attend festivities at the historic Arsenale di Venezia.
A source exclusively confirmed to Us Weekly that the newlyweds were planning a “main celebration” for their guests on a private island just outside of Venice, Italy following their wedding. Bezos and Sánchez selected Usher and DJ Cassidy to perform at the blowout gala.
“They had the ceremony yesterday and, of course, celebrated afterwards, but tonight is the main affair where everyone’s really letting loose,” a source told Us. “This is when the party will really kick off.”
The post-wedding bash will pack in yet more fun following an afterparty on Friday night, where NFL legend Tom Brady reportedly danced with nearly everyone – including Sydney Sweeney and Nader.
Bezos, 61, and Sánchez, 55, tied the knot in Venice on Friday, June 27, in front of around 200 guests, including Brady, Kim Kardashian, Eva Longoria and Orlando Bloom. Many of the invitees attended a welcome party on Thursday, June 27, before the intimate ceremony took place the following day.

Sánchez’s three children played pivotal roles in her wedding, as she was reportedly walked down the aisle by sons Nikko, 24, and Evan, 17. Her 17-year-old daughter, Ella, served as maid of honor. (Sánchez shares her three children with ex-husband Tony Gonzalez.)
“It’s really beautiful and low-key, not over the top at all,” a source exclusively revealed to Us about the ceremony.
Shortly after the nuptials, Sánchez changed her name on Instagram to Lauren Sánchez Bezos and cleared out her older content to solely focus on her wedding. Among the new posts was a look at the custom Dolce & Gabbana lace gown she wore for the wedding. (Bezos also wore D&G for his big day, donning a sleek black tuxedo.)
Sánchez broke her silence about choosing the “high-necked silhouette adorned with 180 silk chiffon-covered priest buttons” and a “delicate tulle-and-lace veil” while speaking to Vogue prior to the festivities. Her lace garment was inspired by one worn by Sophia Loren when she married Cary Grant in the 1958 romantic comedy Houseboat.
“It went from ‘I want a simple, sexy modern dress’ to ‘I want something that evokes a moment,’ and where I am right now. I am a different person than I was five years ago,” she explained. “I went into a lot of therapy and it’s changed me in a bunch of ways. But it’s really Jeff … Jeff hasn’t changed me. Jeff has revealed me. I feel safe. I feel seen. He lets me be me. Like I said about Sophia Loren being unapologetically free, he lets me be unapologetically free.”
