Reception & ceremony in Venice Italy

The first thing to take into account when choosing a wedding location for the reception and the ceremony in Venice Italy is that there are likely to be two parts of your wedding to organize! The wedding ceremony and the wedding reception.

As regards the ceremony, a church wedding is still the favourite choice for many couples, Venice is full of churches in every hidden and romantic corn er . We  will give you more information about all the churches in Venice in “The  Venice Wedding Churches Guide”.

But you have to be careful that the reception must be planned around the ceremony location. In Venice you can rent a boat or a romantic Gondola to transport the bride and groom and their guests from the church to the reception. The transport in Venice are very important when you are planning your church wedding.

If, on the other hand, you're thinking about a civil wedding in Venice, you can celebrate civil ceremony in one of the historical Venetian palace, we’ll give you all the information in “The Venice Civil Wedding Guide”, pay attention that the ceremony in Venice, for civic importance, can be celebrated only in one of the town halls in Venice.

How many guests?

The type of wedding you have will depend partly on how big it will be, so here are some things to think about before approaching wedding venues:

Venue capacity: It may sound obvious but you should have a good idea of numbers before you start looking at venues. Many venues will not be able to magic up extra space from nowhere if you add 20 extra guests at the last minute.

In Venice if you are in a few people - the bride and groom and 4-20 guests - you can book a wedding table in one of the historical Venetian restaurants in St. Mark's Square, or in a luxury 5-star Hotel in the historic center of Venice.

If you are planning your wedding in Venice and you have 20-50 guests, you can book a noble floor in a historic Venetian palace with view on the Grand Canal. If you get married with the beautiful season and want a wedding a little more particular, in Venice there are hidden gardens overlooking the Grand Canal where you can organize your wedding reception.

If your wedding in Venice you will be more than 50 people, there is the possibility to organize your marriage in  a historic Venetian palace near St. Mark's Square, or near Rialto, or in a quieter area, hidden and less touristy in Venice.
