Overview

• Final preparations are underway for the high-profile wedding scheduled for June 24–26, 2025, in Venice.
• Organizers capped the guest list at under 200 VIPs and authorities have bolstered security as activists plan protests over overtourism and elitism.
• Protesters have displayed “No Space for Bezos” banners on the Rialto Bridge and Markusplatz and warned of blockade actions to disrupt the event.
• Bezos’s yacht, the Koru, cannot dock at Markusplatz due to its size, so attendees will rely on water taxis and luxury hotels such as the Gritti Palace and Danieli.
• The couple has requested that guests donate to Venice’s preservation in lieu of traditional wedding gifts to support local conservation efforts.
