Local papers have warned Venetians to brace for the sound of suitcases rolling along the city’s narrow lanes. Guests will reportedly need multiple outfits for what insiders are calling “a wedding in three acts.”
Inside the Wedding Venues: Basilica and Historic Shipyard
Details of the celebration remain under wraps, with staff told not to discuss the event (even on calls). The New York Times reports that the couple will exchange vows Friday at the 16th-century Basilica of San Giorgio Maggiore.
Guests are expected to explore the basilica’s Renaissance treasures, including Jacopo Tintoretto’s The Last Supper, enjoy a concert in the island’s small amphitheater, and wander its famous maze.
The Washington Post reports the main reception will take place Saturday at the Arsenale, a historic Venetian shipyard complex. The party was initially planned for a 16th-century venue in central Venice, but it was relocated for security reasons.
A Pricey Affair — and Dividing Venice
As per a report in Reuters, the €40-48 million (roughly $43-48 million) wedding is the city’s highest-profile celebration since George and Amal Clooney married there in 2014. But unlike the Clooneys, whose nuptials were warmly received, Bezos and Sánchez’s celebration has stirred controversy.
Posters showing Bezos’ head on a rocket — a jab at his Blue Origin space company — have appeared across Venice. To give back, Bezos is expected to make several charitable donations, including €1 million to support research on Venice’s fragile lagoon system, according to reports in Corriere della Sera and news agency Ansa.
