While the precise schedule for Bezos and Sanchez's wedding week is still under wraps, insiders say a pre-wedding dinner might be hosted on the secluded island of San Giovanni Evangelista. The main event, however, is anticipated to take place on Saturday evening in the trendy Arsenal district of Venice, with the ceremony itself rumored to be held on the picturesque island of San Giorgio Maggiore.
The 200 guests in attendance will no doubt be treated to a week of unforgettable experiences. Some of the VIPs expected to attend include Ivanka Trump (43), who has reportedly already touched down in the lagoon city. To cater to this star-studded crowd, around 60 Venetian water taxis and hundreds of renowned gondolas have been booked, while up to 100 private jets are expected to land in the area. The lucky guests will also be staying in the city's priciest hotels. With extravagance like this, it's estimated that Bezos could be shelling out as much as 30 million euros for a weekend of unforgettable memories[1].
