Jeff Bezos And Lauren Sanchez's Venice Secrets Exposed By One Careless Mistake

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s glamorous Venice nuptials were meant to be top-secret.

However, that was until one unsuspecting staffer let the cat out of the bag, exposing intimate details of the lavish affair, including the guest list and last-minute disasters.

A major oversight has given the world an unexpected sneak peek into the wedding of Bezos and Sanchez.

According to the Daily Mail, Beatrice Bavato, a freelance Venetian tour guide, was spotted at Marco Polo Airport with a clipboard listing arrival details of dozens of guests and staff. The clipboard included names, flights, and even hotel accommodations.

Among the leaked names was Mike George, a former Amazon executive and a close ally of Bezos, who is now tied to the Bezos Academy.

Though he stepped down as president in 2024, George remains a longtime friend, making him a fitting addition to the guest list.

One source of surprise was the appearance of fashion royalty, Sandra Leong and her husband, philanthropist Robert Gelfond.

Interestingly, Gelfond’s father once urged him not to invest in Amazon. However, he ignored the advice and helped secure Bezos' fortune.

Bezos and Sanchez's wedding is not without its hiccups.

On Beatrice’s now-infamous clipboard, the name Iram Shelton, an international nail artist, was scrawled with the damning label, “NO SHOW.”

It remains unclear why she pulled out or who replaced her in preparing Sanchez for her big day.

Sanchez’s team of stylists is impressive. Hair stylist Sophie Gutterman, known for doing the journalist's hair before her space flight, was on the list, alongside make-up artists Laura Mele and Buster Knight, both trusted hands in her glam squad.

Also spotted arriving were Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, further fueling speculation around the number of A-listers on the guest list.

Cedric Grolet, a famed London-based patisserie chef, and film director David Sabshon were also among those greeted by the unsuspecting Beatrice.

Bezos and Sanchez kicked off their wedding celebrations in style with a foam party aboard his $500 million yacht.

The floating palace has been a mainstay of their celebrations and is now docked in the Venice lagoon.

Guests arriving for the festivities include Chloe Ramirez, a photographer likely capturing the big moments, and Clara Scola, an art curator who may be managing décor or commemorative artwork.

Perhaps the most intriguing name was that of sculptor Edourado Tresoldi. The sculptor's inclusion has triggered questions, with some wondering if he might be tasked with designing a one-of-a-kind installation to immortalize Bezos's and Sanchez's wedding in sculpture.

Also present are Shai Rappaport, a high-end events manager, and Justin Stein, also known as Justin Jessa, a singer-songwriter whose credits include collaborations with the Backstreet Boys and Armin van Buuren.

Sanchez is no stranger to couture, and her wedding will be nothing short of extraordinary.

Sources indicate that Italian fashion house Dolce & Gabbana provided 27 different outfits for Sanchez to wear over the course of the wedding week.

Samuel Horowitz, a senior designer at Dolce & Gabbana, is also listed as part of her glam entourage, leading many to wonder if the fashion powerhouse also designed Sanchez’s wedding dress.

Another name on the list was Mindy Lamour, a stylist famous for dressing drag queens and creating bespoke corsets.

Many staff members were noted as part of the “Griffin” team, likely referring to a luxury U.S. event scenography firm known for transforming high-profile venues.

They are reportedly supporting the main planners, Lanza & Baucina.

Other names on the list include Elana Jassy, wife of Amazon CEO Andy Jassy. The couple live in Seattle’s trendy Capitol Hill neighborhood and have been longtime friends of Bezos.

Interestingly, public records reveal that Mrs. Jassy previously donated to Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton, both outspoken critics of Amazon's policies.

Meanwhile, tour guide Beatrice Bavato, whose blunder exposed it all, described herself as someone who "knows how to cope with stressful situations" on her LinkedIn.

That skill was likely tested once the press noticed the clipboard in her hands.

Bezos’ path to matrimony with Sanchez has been nothing short of headline-worthy, and this Venice mishap adds another colorful chapter to their story. From fashion blunders to guest list leaks, the wedding is already unforgettable.
