According to the Daily Mail, Venice's San Giorgio Maggiore island is set to play a part in Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's upcoming $7 million wedding nuptials.

A source who spoke with the outlet claimed that the couple had rented out the prestigious island for six days, June 24 to June 29, the rumored timeline for the festivities.

On these days, the island will be "off-limits to visitors" within Venice. The same insider claimed that Bezos's superyacht Koru will be stationed off the coast of the island, and that a private tender service has been secured to carry guests to and fro from the vessel during the celebration.

Sixty of Venice's water taxis and 400 gondolas located on the island have also been reserved, which will presumably serve as part of the logistics arrangements.
