Luxury Venice Wedding Venues
It is not easy to explain why to us Venice is the epitome of exclusiveness. Only if you live, and not just spend a few days, in this unique city, can you grasp its many features.
Venice is obviously San Marco Square and the packed Grand Canal, but also the serene lagoon, the Lido with its retro charm bringing us back to the early 20th century; the luxury hotels and the tiny bacari serving a glass of prosecco and the typical cicchetti (finger food) chatting with your friends.
Venice is art and crafts; the Biennale exhibiting international artists; the glass blowers of Murano and the embroiderers of Burano. Venice has a popular soul just behind the palaces overlooking the Canal, which show their beauty especially during the Carnival, when they open their spaces for the balls that will bring you back to the 18th century.
Venice to all of us is the city of lovers, the place where girls dream of wedding proposals, honeymoons, if not the wedding itself.

Basilica of St. Mark
The Basilica of St. Mark is the most important religious temple in the city of Venice. It is located in the St. Mark square, next to the Doge’s Palace and has always been the center of the public and religious life in the city.
The Basilica is one of the most beautiful cathedrals in Europe, an intriguing combination of architectural and art styles, although it still preserves oriental aspects that can leave visitors astounded by its splendor.
It is a testimony to the wealth and power of the Serene Republic of Venice as well as the reckless adventures of its inhabitants in the Mediterranean as merchants and conquerors.
Doge’s Palace
The Doge’s Palace offers an extraordinary experience for anyone interested in the history of the city of the lagoon and the design of the interiors of the palace that impresses more than one.
The structure combines layers of different architectural styles, including Byzantine, Gothic and Renaissance. The façade of the Doge’s Palace is considered a Gothic masterpiece.
This impressive building houses paintings by renowned Italian artists like Tiziano, Tintoretto and Bellini. Its interior is elegant thanks to the marble of Verona and is supported by stone arches supported by columns with magnificent capitals and sculptures in the corners.
The building has been the Doges’ residence and public offices since the old castle was built in 810. Over nearly 1.000 years, 120 doges ruled over Venice from the Doge’s Palace.
Rialto Bridge
The Rialto Bridge is the oldest of the four bridges to cross the Grand Canal of Venice. For many years, the overpass was the most important financial centre in Venice.
The present Ponte di Rialto was built in stone between 1588 and 1591 by Antonio da Ponte to substitute a wooden bridge which had collapsed in two occasions and had been partially burnt down in 1310.
The design of the stone bridge is similar to its predecessors with two inclined ramps that are connected by an arch in the middle. We recommend crossing the bridge at different times of the day to see the Grand Canal in all its splendor and take a photo of the remarkable Venice lying below.

Bridge of Sights
The Venice bridge Ponte dei Sospiri, also called Bridge of Sights,
was built in Istrian stone in the Baroque style in the early seventeenth century to give access to the prisons from Palazzo Ducale.
The melancholic name refers to the fact that during the Serenissima, the Republic of Venice, the prisoners, passing through it, sighed at the prospect of seeing the outside world for the last time.
The bridge of sight is famous to the point to have inspired tributes copy in New York and in England. Nowadays it is remembered for the magic and romantic moment when lovers pass by on a gondola.
