🎉 Wedding Celebration Highlights

The multi-day celebration began with a glamorous welcome party on June 26 in a cloister beside the Madonna dell’Orto church. Sánchez wore a golden off-the-shoulder Schiaparelli gown with baroque embroidery, while Bezos arrived in a black suit and aviator sunglasses. Guests arrived by boat in a convoy of 30 water taxis, with security patrolling the canals on jet skis.

Celebrity attendees included Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Brady, Orlando Bloom, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Gayle King, and Bill Gates. The dinner featured Neapolitan pizza, fried zucchini flowers, arancini, octopus, cod, and lemon pastries. Despite a thunderstorm ending the evening early, the atmosphere was described as elegant yet relaxed.

The couple sourced 80% of wedding provisions from Venetian vendors and requested guests donate to local charities instead of giving gifts. The final celebration was held at the Arsenale, a historic shipyard complex, following a last-minute venue change for security reasons.
