Get married in Venice – Civil wedding and reception in a palace

The white dress hung on the window. The jewels prepared on the table. The last adjustments before the hour of love. Kevin and Pam are ready: they are about to marry. A civil ceremony at palazzo Cavalli in Venice. An event lived together with their big family. They arrived from England. From one island to another island. No other city in the world can give the same feelings of the old Serenissima floating on the water. Now it's the long-awaited moment. They just have to show up, repeat a few words and then say, "Yes, I do."

Pam is really in tune with Venice. All in white, with the upper part of the dress sweetly laced. White, elegant and with a hairstyle as a true Princess. Five bridesmaids, dressed in violet and cyclamen. More classic the boys, in blue and white spezzato with tie. In the beautiful frame of Venice, the civil marriage is short but intense. A cheering crowd is waiting for them outside. But there's more to come. After the oath, they enjoy the view from an inimitable palace overlooking the Grand Canal. Next to them there is the Rialto Bridge, the one they have already seen many times on television. Now everything is there for them.

In the past centuries, Venice was a symbol of commerce and power. Today it is one of the most popular destinations for tourists coming from the five continents. With the help of local wedding planner agencies, more and more couples come to the lagoon to celebrate their wedding. The luxurious Renaissance palazzo Cavalli is one of the most sought after palaces, with three floors and mullioned windows. The interior is even grander, with halls perfect for wedding ceremonies, the largest of which is also decorated with an eloquent and significant size oil painting, "the Golden Jubilee", made by 19th-century Venetian painter Luigi Nono.

It’s time for happiness. All the English guests board a private taxi to go around the Grand Canal. After the districts of Castello and San Polo, the taxi heads for San Marco and Dorsoduro passing under the Accademia Bridge. Everyone is charmed before the magnificence of the Basilica della Salute, created by the architect Baldassarre Longhena. Not so far there is San Marco square, but it's still not time to go back to the masegni (a Venetian word to call the typical stones of the floor of Venice). The San Giorgio island is really the best terrace for epic photos.

The open-air breeze whets the appetite and the table is ready in a luxurious Venetian Palace. This is the ultimate Act of the civil marriage of Kevin and Pam. The wedding dinner was a real tour in the old Venice. Giant chandeliers, sumptuous decorations. In this historic building five centuries are there, on this special day, for Kevin and Pam. Floral arrangements that seems almost to be in an Impressionist painting. Servings of local cuisine with a finishing touch of Anglo-Saxon culture: many delicious cupcakes for dessert.

Record of the wedding of Kevin and Pam in a palace in Venice. Simply the best!
