Following Days of Glamorous Wedding Events Surrounded by Famous Friends and Luxurious Parties, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Say Goodbye to the Beautiful City of Venice, Wrapping Up Their Spectacular Italian Celebration and Leaving Behind Memories of Joy, Love, and Star-Studded Moments

The Amazon founder and the journalist bid adieu to the Italian city after days of extravagant and star-studded celebrations

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s wedding celebrations have officially come to a close.

The Amazon founder, 61, and the Emmy award-winning journalist, 55, tied the knot on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, Italy, on Friday, June 27.

After the ceremony, which took place amid similarly extravagant special events, the newlyweds bid the site of their nuptials adieu on Sunday, June 29.

The couple was all smiles as they departed Venice. They were photographed waving as they left their hotel by water taxi, and later, as they made their final exit from the city itself.

Sanchez wore a white minidress that she paired with some perfect travel accessories, all in black: a wide-brim hat, kitten heels and sunglasses. She also carried a snakeskin Hermès Birkin bag.

Bezos, meanwhile, kept things simple in a pair of gray pants, a navy T-shirt and, to combat the Italian sun while making their final exit, a pair of sunglasses.

The couple’s final goodbye to Venice came just hours after the newlyweds treated their star-studded guest list to a pajama-themed wedding party — and the “epic” send-off lasted until the early hours.

A source told PEOPLE exclusively of the bash, “It was great. It went until 4 in the morning [and] started at 7:00 p.m. It was a pajama-themed party with everyone wearing silk and robes and slippers. It was epic. A full-fledged dance party with everyone standing on the banquettes and all of the sofas and couches.”

Guests were treated to performances from Usher and DJ Cassidy, and everyone from Oprah Winfrey and Leonardo DiCaprio to Kris Jenner and Cory Gamble danced “from start to finish,” the insider said.

The day before the late-night PJ extravaganza, the couple said their “I dos” surrounded by family and friends, with around 200 guests in attendance. Sánchez’s sons Nikko, 24, and Evan, 19, walked her down the aisle, while her daughter Ella, 17, served as maid of honor.

Soon after tying the knot, Sánchez — who officially confirmed her marriage by changing her Instagram handle and name in bio to “Lauren Sánchez Bezos” just hours after the ceremony — posted her first wedding photo with the billionaire.

Just minutes after Sánchez posted her photograph, Vogue shared all the wedding dress details in a digital cover story.

More than a year and a half ago, Sánchez met with Domenico Dolce in New York to start crafting her dream Dolce & Gabbana gown, the story revealed.

“It went from ‘I want a simple, sexy modern dress’ to ‘I want something that evokes a moment,’ and where I am right now,” Sánchez told the magazine. “I am a different person than I was five years ago.”

The journalist added that it would be the first formal dress she’s ever worn that is so covered up across the chest. “It is a departure from what people expect, from what I expect — but it’s very much me,” she said.

In a video posted by Vogue on Instagram, Sánchez said: “It just feels like, I don’t know, it carries everything I’ve walked through to get here. It’s elegant, it’s timeless, it’s soft.”
