The founder of Amazon Jeff Bezos and journalist Lauren Sanchez took over Venice for what was dubbed the “wedding of the century”-a long-term celebration with a list of guests A-List and jaw expenditure. While most of the event remains firmly under the wrap, here is what we know about extravagant matters.
AND £430 Crore Celebrations
The total wedding costs are estimated at 40-48 million euros (roughly £430 crore), according to Luc Zaia, President of the Veneto region, which includes Venice.
Bezos is expected to provide significant charity gifts, including 1 million euros of Corilla, a research body that works to maintain the Venetian lagoon ecosystem, the reports of the Italian media said.
Venue and ceremony
While the exact date and venue of the wedding ceremony remain confidential, the main celebration is scheduled for Saturday in the historic Arsenale-once naval center of the Venetian Republic. The venue, known for their walls and centuries -old shipyards, was sealed for a private event, Reuters reported the agency.
90 private nozzles, 30 water taxis
Venice witnesses a sharp increase in private air traffic, with about 90 private nozzles expected to land at Venice, Treviso and Verona airports. Among the first arrivals were Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, who left Tuscany on Tuesday.
In order for the organizers to translate guests through the Venice channels, they reportedly book at least 30 water taxis from local operators.
Five luxury hotels for guests A-List
For the estimated 200-250 guests, the most elite city hotels were booked, including the Cipriani Hotel on the island of Giudecca and Aman on the Great Canal.
In 2014, Aman Venice hosted George Clooney and Alamuddin’s wedding in 2014 and strengthened their status as a place for high -ranking weddings.
Meanwhile, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s wedding invitation on the Internet attracted a lot of flakes. The views of the invitation that ABC News approached has evoked an extensive mockery on the social media, with many calling it “ugly”, “sticky” and “catastrophe of graphic design”.
