Jeff Bezos’ Venice Wedding Is Causing Chaos For Tourists & Locals.
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s Venice wedding has sparked major disruptions, with lavish celebrations from June 24–28 causing closures, traffic issues, and a media frenzy. Protesters claimed a win after Bezos' party was moved from central Venice to the Arsenale, reportedly due to activist pressure, according to local officials. The original venue, Scuola Grande della Misericordia, was never officially confirmed, but the Arsenale offers isolation, water access, and bridges that can be raised. Three luxury hotels are fully booked, paparazzi are crowding the streets, and mega-yachts are jamming the canals as wedding festivities cause traffic disruptions and closures. Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates, and Lady Gaga are among the high-profile guests reportedly attending the event.
