While details about the actual wedding ceremony remain unconfirmed, a source told the publication that access to nearby San Giorgio Maggiore island will also be restricted during this period, with Bezos’s $500 million superyacht Koru anchored offshore.

The wedding is expected to have fewer than 200 guests, including celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom, and some members of the Trump family, according to the report. Nearly 60 Venice water taxis have been booked for guest transport, along with a private boat service between the island and the yacht.Guests will stay at luxury hotels across the city, including The Aman and Hotel Cipriani. Local bakery Rosa Salva Venetia, on the other hand, will supply pastries for the weekend, though not the wedding cake.
Jeff Bezos’ wedding cost (estimated)
The multi-day wedding celebration is said to cost somewhere between $15 million and $20 million, covering transportation, catering, and Sánchez’s dress, which has not yet been revealed. In a 2023 interview with Vogue, Bezos said he had little to do with the planning. “Oh, God, no. Do I look that dumb?” he said when asked about his involvement.
Protest against Jeff Bezos’ wedding
The upcoming wedding has polarized the Venice city, with some residents protesting the event while others, including city officials, embrace it. Venice Mayor Luigi Brugnaro expressed strong support for the couple, stating, “I want Bezos to be welcomed with open arms in Venice. Protesting against those who bring visibility and wealth to our territory is, in my opinion, a disgrace.” Brugnaro added, “We will have to apologize to Jeff Bezos. I am ashamed of those who behave like this. I hope that Jeff Bezos comes anyway. Not all Venetians think like these protesters,” he told protestors.
