After boarding a water taxi en route to the party, Bezos and Sánchez shared a sweet kiss.
The grand fête, at which DJ Cassidy is expected to perform, is being held at a hall at the Arsenale, a 14th-century complex in the eastern Castello district, which is surrounded by water.
In fact, the venue is unreachable by land when connecting bridges are raised, elevating the security of both the couple and their A-list guests, including politicians, business magnates, tech tycoons, actors, musicians, models and sports stars.
A source previously told People that the party was originally supposed to take place at Scuola Grande della Misericordia, a medieval former religious school in Cannaregio, but that it was moved earlier this week because of protests and safety concerns.
As Page Six previously reported, Bezos, 61, and Sánchez, 55, quietly donated to a number of local charities in Venice as part of their wedding planning process.
The revelation came about after protestors gathered all over the City of Canals to criticize the billionaire Amazon founder, arguing, “If you can rent Venice for your wedding, you can pay more tax.”
Before their big day, Bezos and the former news anchor — who rented out the entire Aman Venice hotel for their stay — geared up with a luxe welcome party.
They also hosted a pre-wedding foam party aboard his $500 million megayacht, Koru.
Bezos proposed to Sánchez aboard Koru in May 2023 after five years together.
The duo began dating in 2019. However, they avoided being seen together publicly until after their respective divorces were finalized.
Sánchez was previously married to Patrick Whitesell, with whom she shares son Evan, 19, and daughter Eleanor, 17. She is also mom to son Nikko, 24, whose father is Tony Gonzalez.
Meanwhile, Bezos shares three sons and one daughter with his ex-wife, MacKenzie Scott.
