Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez are set to exchange vows in what is being dubbed the "wedding of the century." The extravagant nuptials, slated for June 2025, will unfold in Venice, Italy, a city rich in history and romance, and one that holds special significance for the couple.
Reports indicate the couple's $500 million megayacht, Koru, will play a central role in the celebrations, though conflicting sources suggest the wedding itself may not occur aboard the vessel. Measuring over 415 feet in length and hailed as the largest masted yacht ever built, Koru has become a symbol of the Amazon founder's remarkable fortune and the couple's penchant for luxury.
However, Venice's stringent regulations on large vessels might limit its use, with experts emphasizing the importance of the city's scenic Grand Canal views for such an occasion. Two of Venice's premier hotels, the Gritti Palace and Aman Venice, have been fully booked for June 26-29, reportedly to accommodate the couple's A-list guests.
It's an investment of a lifetime
Room rates at these establishments start at $3,200 per night and can skyrocket to tens of thousands depending on the suite. Meanwhile, Venice is preparing for the influx of VIPs, securing the city's entire fleet of water taxis to ensure seamless transportation throughout the canal-lined paradise.
Lauren Sánchez's choice of an Oscar de la Renta wedding gown, reportedly crafted with input from Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, further underscores the grandeur of the event. The couple's engagement aboard Koru in May 2023, marked by a 20-carat diamond ring estimated at $2.5 million, offers a glimpse into the lavish lifestyle that will be on full display during their big day.
As Venice braces for what promises to be an unforgettable celebration, this wedding will likely redefine social events not just for the couple but for the iconic city itself. Combining romance, exclusivity, and star-studded glamour, Bezos and Sánchez's nuptials may truly set a new standard for opulence in the world of high-profile weddings.
