Jeff Bezos wedding: What we know so far about the Venice nuptials
Global News
The couple-to-be, Bezos and Lauren Sanchez, are hiring mostly local suppliers, with 80 per cent of the wedding vendors reportedly from the area.
As tech billionaire Jeff Bezos and his fiancée Lauren Sanchez prepare for their upcoming nuptials in Venice, Italy, some details about the lavish wedding event have been revealed — and some residents say they are concerned about the scale of the event.
Representatives for the couple are remaining relatively tight-lipped about the wedding, which is set for later this month, with one guest reportedly telling CNN Style that attendees had to sign an NDA.
Despite the secrecy and mystery of it all, there’s still plenty to unpack. The multi-day function is being run by boutique event planners Lanza and Baucina, the Italian duo behind George and Amal Clooney’s 2014 wedding.

On that list are pastries from the city’s oldest patisserie, Rosa Salva, which has been run by the same family for nearly 150 years. Its owner, Antonio Rosa Salva, has been commissioned to make “about 200 goodie bags” for wedding guests, and says he is accustomed to preparing orders of up to 1,000 baked goods.
Laguna B, a design studio known for its distinctive hand-blown Murano glass prized by fashion and design clients, was also tapped by the couple, The Associated Press reported.
Meanwhile, about 30 of Venice’s 280 high-end water taxis are believed to have been reserved by the couple for the event, according to NBC.
One driver told CNN he is booked from June 25 to 30 for “a big wedding,” but did not elaborate.
