Jeff Bezos and his fiancée Lauren Sanchez arrived at the luxurious Aman Venice hotel in the Italian lagoon city on Wednesday. The couple is set to tie the knot later this week in what could be termed as the wedding of the year. The couple is hosting a lavish celebration for their 200 closest friends and family members in Venice. The Amazon billionaire and his fiancée were filmed waving at the waiting paparazzi as they disembarked on one of the city’s docks as they arrived in the city.
The high-profile wedding is likely to be attended by Hollywood celebrities, musicians and industrialists. Guests like Ivanka Trump and family have already arrived in Venice and checked into the 5-star resorts that have been booked for them by the host couple.
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez pre-wedding celebrations
According to a Vanity Fair report, festivities will begin from June 26 and go on till June 28 in Venice. The pre-wedding celebrations will include a pajama party and a Great Gatsby-themed cocktail party.
The first party of the upcoming wedding is expected to happen in Cannaregio. The city has already blocked off the area from 6 pm to midnight for setting up the place for pre-wedding festivities. Although the authorities haven’t officially said it’s for Jeff Bezos’ wedding, all the signs—like the boats being used and the famous British wedding planner involved—make it clear that it likely is, reported Vanity Fair.
The first party is expected to take place in a hidden and exclusive spot called the Sant ‘Alvise complex. It includes a 14th-century church, monastery, and a private area known as the Barco.
