Venice Dispels Rumors About Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's Wedding

City officials confirm the late June event will host 200 guests with minimal disruption to local life, countering earlier exaggerated reports.

The city administration of Venice has officially denied rumors of large-scale disruptions from Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding.
The wedding, scheduled for late June 2025, will host 200 guests, contrary to earlier claims of 250 guests per day over three days.
Officials clarified that wedding planners have not booked excessive gondolas, water taxis, or other local resources.
Concerns about the event overwhelming Venice's infrastructure were addressed by highlighting the city's experience with larger international events, such as the Venice Film Festival.
Venice continues its tradition of hosting high-profile celebrity weddings, following events like George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin's 2014 nuptials.
