Established in 1870 by Andrea Rose, who introduced the home delivery meal concept, every pastry, dessert, and catered event reflects their dedication to quality, ensuring that every taste is infused with history.
From the iconic Bellinis at Harry's Bar to Italian dishes made from local ingredients, the wedding promises a delightful combination of flavors infused with affection. The celebrations will take place on the $500 million superyacht, Koru, which has already created a buzz across Europe. Featuring a prominent guest list, this monumental event is being referred to as the 'wedding of the century.' The chosen venue for the wedding is an intimate location perfect for cozy dinners and ceremonies. San Giorgio Maggiore Island, a highly talked-about site, has hosted a variety of events, including the G7 and private concerts, and will next welcome this grand wedding.
While excitement surrounds this opulent affair, many individuals are hesitant to open their spaces for the ceremony. This situation has led to tensions, and several locals are worried about potential disruptions to the city's daily life, particularly with increased security measures and an estimated list of 200 elite guests, which includes Hollywood luminaries, top business leaders, and political figures such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Kim Kardashian, Oprah Winfrey, Salma Hayek, Barbra Streisand, Ivanka Trump, among many others.

The duo reportedly began dating in the mid-2010s but chose to keep their relationship under wraps for a while. In early 2019, they went public shortly after Sanchez ended her marriage with Hollywood agent Patrick Whitesell, and Bezos finalized his highly publicized divorce from philanthropist and author MacKenzie Scott. The couple announced their engagement in May 2023 when Bezos presented a stunning 30-carat pink diamond ring, valued at an estimated $3 million to $5 million.
