Venice has become the talk of the globe. The city, known for its grandeur, history, and romantic allure, is set to host one of the most highly anticipated weddings of the decade. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Emmy-winning journalist Lauren Sánchez will celebrate their union with a spectacular three-day wedding celebration. The gala kicked off on June 24 and is expected to continue up to June 26.
Anchored off the Venetian lagoon on Jeff Bezos’ $500 million superyacht Koru, the couple has reserved the historic Scuola Grande della Misericordia, one of Venice’s most iconic and imposing landmarks, as the central venue for their nuptials.
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s Wedding Food Menu
For the delectable food at the wedding, the couple has decided to source 80% of their wedding supplies locally, showcasing Venetian artistry and traditional workmanship. This decision not only highlights the couple’s commitment to sustainability but also pays tribute to Italy’s rich cultural heritage. One of the standout collaborators for the event is Rosa Salva, Venice’s oldest and most revered pastry shop, established in 1870. The historic bakery has been commissioned to craft 200 bespoke gift bags, each filled with regional delicacies like zaletti (traditional cornmeal cookies) and Bussolà (rich, buttery Venetian biscuits).
Antonio Rosa Salva, the sixth-generation heir to the bakery, expressed his excitement: “My family’s long-standing tradition of baking Venetian specialities is being recognised in a significant way.” Local merchants across Venice have been working overtime to deliver an authentic Italian culinary experience for the star-studded event, where every bite will reflect the couple’s extravagant taste – and Bezos’ eye-watering budget.
More than just a bakery, Rosa Salva is a Venetian institution. Nestled in the heart of the city, the patisserie’s origins date back to Andrea Salva, who revolutionised food delivery in the 19th century. Known for its commitment to excellence, Rosa Salva continues to blend tradition with culinary finesse, making it a natural choice for one of the world’s most talked-about weddings.

With a budget estimated at $9–11 million, the guest list reflects the scale of the celebration. Despite the media frenzy surrounding the event, Venice’s mayor, Luigi Brugnaro, has assured residents that the wedding will not disrupt daily life. “Venice is well-equipped to host international events of this scale,” he said. Around 200 VIP guests are expected, including Oprah Winfrey, Kim Kardashian, Katy Perry, Ivanka Trump and members of the Trump family, among others.
