Jeff Bezos is set to marry Lauren Sánchez in Aspen the weekend after Christmas, sources have exclusively revealed to DailyMail.com. The Amazon founder, 60, and his ex-TV news anchor fiancée, 55, have bought out the ritzy sushi restaurant Matsuhisa in Aspen for December 26 or 27, and plan to have their nuptials on Saturday, December 28.
According to sources, Bezos has been flying in vendors from around the country to put together his dream wedding with non-disclosure agreements. Guests are set to arrive in Aspen’s top accommodations, including the five-star St. Regis Hotel, after Christmas Day. The wedding is expected to be a weekend-long celebration, with a rumored mountain-top ceremony with spectacular “winter wonderland” views.
The couple has kept the wedding plans under wraps, but high-end Aspen wedding planners have made some educated guesses about the big day. They say Bezos and Sánchez may hold a western-themed welcome dinner with “multiple events throughout the weekend” at one of the mansion-ranches surrounding the ski town. They may also have a hat bar or a custom his-and-her cowboy hat for one of the events.
Planners also predict that the event will include a buyout at Matsuhisa, which can seat a maximum of 180 guests, and may feature a string band from LA or a hairstylist from New York. The total cost of the wedding is rumored to be around $600 million.
The couple has been keeping their plans under wraps, but some details have emerged. Sánchez let slip on the Today Show that she had bought her wedding dress, and Bezos has booked up private mansions around the town for his guests. The wedding is expected to be a high-end affair, with top planners saying that the secrecy around the event was likely helped by the couple’s use of non-disclosure agreements.
