Bezos, Sanchez Venice Wedding Set for June 25-29, 2025

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez are set to host a lavish, multi-day wedding in Venice, Italy, from June 25 to June 29, 2025, with festivities centered around the city and Bezos' $500 million superyacht, Koru, anchored near San Giorgio Maggiore. The couple has reserved the exclusive Aman Venice hotel for guests and booked the historic Scuola Grande della Misericordia for some celebrations. About 200 high-profile guests, including Kim Kardashian, Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom, and members of the Trump family, are expected, with gifts of luxury Murano glass from Laguna B. Local Venetian vendors, such as pastry shop Rosa Salva, will provide food, and around 60 water taxis will transport guests between venues and the yacht. The event has generated both excitement and protests among Venetians, but city officials, including Mayor Luigi Brugnaro, support it for its economic and cultural impact. The wedding is expected to cost between $15 million and $20 million and is planned to minimize disruptions to daily life in Venice.
