The event, set across multiple historic venues, began today and includes a guest list of nearly 200 of the world’s most high-profile figures.
The Kardashians arrived via water taxi after landing at Marco Polo Airport. Kim, a close friend of Sanchez, also attended her lavish Paris hen weekend in May, reportedly costing $635,000.
Joining the festivities are Oprah Winfrey, Tom Brady, Gayle King, Ivanka Trump and husband Jared Kushner, Ellie Goulding, Bill Gates, Usher, Leonardo DiCaprio, Vittoria Ceretti, Diane von Furstenburg and Eva Longoria. British actor Orlando Bloom was seen greeting Kim in Venice amid reports of his split from Katy Perry.

In an unfortunate turn of events, a thunderstorm cut the party short. Guests were seen fleeing the Madonna dell’Orto church under umbrellas as water taxis arrived early.
The rain ended festivities 45 minutes ahead of schedule. Despite the weather, spirits remained high.
Local reports confirm that 95 private planes have requested landing slots for the occasion, with luxury hotels in the city fully booked. The bride and groom are staying at the Aman Venice, where rooms cost up to $12,700 per night.
Security has been heightened following recent global tensions and protests. Bezos' $470M yacht Koru, originally meant to be part of the celebration, remains anchored off Croatia for safety reasons.
The ceremony takes place at the Madonna dell’Orto church, followed by a dinner on the island of San Giovanni Evangelista and a grand ball at the Arsenale shipyard. Lauren is expected to wear Dolce & Gabbana, with other dresses possibly by Versace and Oscar de la Renta.
This three-day celebration marks a milestone for the couple, whose relationship began in 2019. Bezos proposed in 2023 with a $4.6M ring.
