Venus Williams Marries Andrea Preti in Two-Part Wedding Across Italy and Palm Beach

They opted for a Florida courthouse ceremony after their September Ischia vows because Italian legal processing for a foreign spouse would have taken about eight months.

Overview

  • The couple first celebrated with a ceremony on Sept. 18 in Ischia, Italy, then capped a five-day Palm Beach week with a legal courthouse wedding at 6:45 a.m. on Dec. 19.
  • Serena Williams launched the Florida festivities by gifting a yacht day for 10–12 close family and friends with food and music.
  • Event planner Jennifer Zabinski organized the Palm Beach celebrations, and Venus wore multiple bridal looks, including a Morilee New York gown for the courthouse and a Georges Hobeika dress for the main celebration.
  • They exchanged self-written vows with bilingual touches and selected meaningful songs, including Irama’s “Ovunque Sarai,” the Jackson 5’s “I’ll Be There,” and Stevie Wonder’s “Signed, Sealed, Delivered.”
  • Williams and Preti met during Milan Fashion Week in 2024, got engaged on Jan. 31, 2025 in Tuscany, and she publicly confirmed the engagement in July 2025.
