    Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez made their first outing as husband and wife to the iconic Harry’s Bar in Venice, Italy, known as the birthplace of the Bellini and a favorite of famous faces.

    A source tells Page Six the Amazon billionaire and ex-journalist breezed their way through nearby Hotel Monaco & Grand Canal as a passage to the spot, waving at guests that were eating on the terrace. 

    They explained, “Harry’s doesn’t have a water taxi drop-off, so they had to be dropped off at the hotel across the street and make their way through.”

    We hear Harry’s, a favorite of everyone from Ernest Hemingway to George Clooney, was shut down in order for the couple and their pals Usher and Tommy Hilfiger to have lunch.

    The place was back to being packed by 9 p.m. local time, though, with restaurant staff being tight-lipped on the newlyweds.

    While some have protested the high-profiled couple’s nuptials, the iconic spot’s owner Arrigo Cipriani previously told local newspaper Corriere della Sera that Bezos is “a private individual who has come here to get married.”

    “I can’t see any problem with that. Venice is Venice and this event won’t change anything,” he continued.

    Security around the event has been high, with police guarding all of the lavish party venues. 

    In addition to Harry’s being momentarily shut down, the couple fully bought out luxury hotels Aman and Gritti Palace. 

    Guests who had been booked at the Aman months in advance were booted when the couple and their famous friends arrived, with Aman putting people up at the St. Regis instead and comping nights there.

    On Friday night, Bezos, 61, and Sanchez, 55, said “I do” at San Giorgio Maggiore.

    Andrea Bocelli’s son Matteo Bocelli and pop star Ellie Goulding performed for guests, including Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King, Barry Diller, Jerry Seinfeld and Jessica Seinfeld, and Huma Abedin.

    “It’s been a fairytale,” one source told us of the wedding. “Warm, intimate, full of love.”
