Jeff Bezos gets married in Venice: glamor and protests at a dream wedding!

Venice will be the setting for a magnificent wedding on June 27, 2025: Jeff Bezos, the 61-year-old founder of Amazon, and 55-year-old Lauren Sánchez, a former TV presenter, will tie the knot. The celebrations promise not only romantic moments, but also glamorous stars and exquisite locations. Around 200 to 250 prominent wedding guests are expected, including celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Leonardo DiCaprio and Bill Gates. Donald Trump and Ivanka Trump with her husband Jared Kushner could also be on the guest list, if reports from 20 Minuten are to be believed.

The wedding will take place on a picturesque island in the Venice lagoon, specifically San Giorgio Maggiore, which is regularly considered one of the most beautiful places to get married. There will be strict security measures for the ceremony as protests against Bezos are planned. Critics accuse the entrepreneur of flaunting his wealth. To ensure that everything runs smoothly, the canals and streets around the church will be closed and security guards will be on site, as mentioned in a report by Fashion Network.

The celebrations

The wedding celebrations will last three days. It starts with a preliminary celebration on Thursday evening in an old monastery church, before the big closing ceremony on Saturday evening at a former shipyard site. Water taxis will handle guest travel, with more than 30 boats reserved to ensure everyone gets to the events safely. The accommodation for the bride and groom and their guests is a luxury hotel on the Grand Canal, which adds extra glamour.

Matteo Bocelli, son of the famous Italian singer Andrea Bocelli, will provide the musical accompaniment. To add even more sparkle to the celebrations, fashion designer Domenico Dolce from Dolce & Gabbana was involved in the wedding planning. The exact location of the ceremony has not yet been officially announced, but the island of San Giorgio could play a central role, as the wedding planners at Serenissima Weddings note.

Gifts and donations

The wedding is given a special touch by the bride and groom's wish to forego gifts. Instead, they are asking guests to donate money for the urgently needed renovation of Venice. This not only shows the social commitment of Bezos and Sánchez, but could also be seen as an attempt to counteract criticism of their own wealth.

The estimated cost of the wedding is hard to believe: it ranges from 10 million US dollars to 40 to 48 million euros, which impressively underlines the opulent nature of this celebration. Venice, this romantic place that has captivated many couples, will once again become the backdrop for great love and a star-studded celebration that will go down in history.
