Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez are preparing to say “I do” in grand fashion this June, choosing the storied canals and palazzos of Venice as the backdrop for what is shaping up to be one of the most high-profile weddings of the year. The ceremony will take place aboard Bezos’s $500 million superyacht, Koru, anchored in the Venetian Lagoon—a floating palace for a love story that has captivated headlines since the couple’s engagement in May 2023.
Invitations have already gone out, and the guest list reads like the credits of a Hollywood blockbuster. Among those expected to attend: Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, Queen Rania of Jordan, and Kris Jenner. Many of them were also present at the couple’s opulent engagement party, and are now set to witness the next chapter of their relationship in one of the most romantic cities in the world.
Venice, accustomed to celebrity, is nonetheless preparing for an extraordinary influx of VIPs. The city’s most luxurious hotels are reportedly fully booked, while its iconic water taxis have been reserved to ferry guests across the lagoon. Officials and event coordinators are said to be working closely to ensure seamless logistics for what is expected to be a tightly choreographed, high-security event.
Bezos and Sánchez have long held an affection for Venice, having visited the city multiple times throughout their relationship. Choosing it as the location for their wedding is more than a romantic gesture; it is a symbolic return to a place woven into their shared history. That the ceremony will take place aboard Koru—the yacht where Bezos proposed—adds a personal and poetic touch.
A celebration of love, wealth, and spectacle, the wedding has already captured global attention. Known for their passion for travel, philanthropy, and public life, Bezos and Sánchez are crafting a wedding that is as carefully curated as their public personas. If the early buzz is any indication, their Venetian nuptials will not only dominate summer headlines, but also leave an indelible mark on the city’s social calendar.
For Venice, a city that has hosted royalty, artists, and billionaires over centuries, June 2025 promises to be another historic chapter—this time written from the deck of one of the world’s most extravagant vessels.
