What Jeff Bezos & Lauren Sanchez's Wedding Menu Include?
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez truly pulled off the “wedding of the century.” The Amazon founder and his wife Lauren Sanchez tied knot in Venice earlier this week. According to Daily Mail, They hosted around 200 guests for a dining experience that was extravagant as it is rooted in Italian tradition.
The wedding breakfast alone was priced around €1,000 per guest. To helm the feast, the couple tapped star chef Fabrizio Mellino, who became one of the youngest chefs ever awarded three Michelin stars. Mellino runs the acclaimed restaurant Quattro Passi in Nerano, a picturesque village on the Amalfi Coast near Naples.
His menu pays homage to recipes passed down through generations of his family. One highlight was the celebrated spaghetti alla Nerano, a pasta made with fried courgettes and a rich smoked provolone cheese. This simple yet irresistible dish soared to international fame after actor Stanley Tucci spotlighted it in his CNN series Searching for Italy.
Show-stopping desserts by Cedric Grolet
For dessert, the couple blended classic Campanian sweets with a dash of viral pastry artistry. Patisserie Minori Sal De Riso, a renowned patisserie from the Amalfi Coast, supplied an assortment of delicate mignon pastries, lemon ricotta cakes, and elegant desserts served in glass.
The piece de resistance was the wedding cake, crafted by none other than French pastry sensation Cédric Grolet. Known for his elaborate, lifelike creations shaped like fruits-think glossy peaches, papayas, and even peanuts-Grolet has earned a massive following online, amassing over 12 million Instagram fans. His patisserie empire now spans Paris, London, Saint-Tropez, Singapore, and Val-d'Isère.
An opulent celebration with a few hiccups
Despite the meticulous planning and sky-high budget, the couple encountered a few bumps in the road leading up to their big day. But even minor challenges couldn't steal their thunder. From dainty desserts to famous pasta and a guest list packed with celebrities, this wedding showcased both luxury and deep respect for Italian culinary traditions.
As the celebrations unfolded among Venice’s romantic canals, Bezos, 61, and Sanchez, 55, bet that exquisite food and family recipes-plus a little help from Michelin stars and viral pastry chefs, made the perfect recipe for a happily ever after.
