Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez have arrived in Venice for their extravagant three-day wedding celebration.
Amazon’s founder, Jeff Bezos, and his fiancée, journalist and pilot Lauren Sánchez, have formally arrived in Venice, Italy, for what has been referred to as one of the most extravagant celebrity wedding events of the decade.
The couple touched down in the world-famous city, starting their three-day wedding extravaganza in a celebratory atmosphere unlike any other venue, as the beautiful historic canals and amazing gothic architecture will be the background for luxury.
Insiders confirm that the large-scale celebration, which is projected to cost more than 40 million euros, will consist of several high-profile events happening from 26-28 June.
The guest list includes several global entertainers, business people, and political figures, including Oprah Winfrey, Kim Kardashian, Bill Gates, Leonardo DiCaprio, Eva Longoria, and perhaps Elon Musk.
Bezos and Sánchez reportedly flew in on a private jet and were escorted to their luxury yacht Koru, which is anchored nearby and valued at $500 million.
The yacht will be their home during the wedding week. More private yachts and over 90 private jets are set to arrive during the week, beginning a high-profile, star-studded affair.
This couple’s wedding is more extravagant than most royal weddings. Security measures have been heightened all over Venice, with significant areas of the city expected to be closed to the public during the events.
There are three themed wedding celebrations planned. The first will be a welcome party held in the beautiful cloisters of the Church of Madonna dell’Orto in Cannaregio. The second event will be the wedding ceremony.
This will take place the next day, June 27th, on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, in a basilica that overlooks Venice.
The last day, June 28, will be a huge party at the Venetian Arsenal, a former naval ship property now repurposed cultural space. Access is limited in the city and requires lifting the bridges to make the event truly private and secure.
There will be some singing and not just speeches. Italian singer Matteo Bocelli, the son of opera great Andrea Bocelli, will perform at the wedding event.
Economic benefits are expected to be a €20–30 million windfall for local businesses through tourism, catering, hotels, and transport. Bezos and Sánchez have donated €3 million to environmental and education organizations, including CORILA, Venice’s UNESCO office, and Venice International University.
The mayor of Venice, Luigi Brugnaro, praised the couple for selecting Venice for hosting and said events will be run prudently to respect the city’s singular character
In addition to entertainment and political elites, there are prominent tech figures like Bill Gates, and possibly Mark Zuckerberg, and Elon Musk on the guest list.
This wedding is more than a union; it’s a spectacle, from floating gala evenings to a dramatic basilica to fortified shipyards.
