Venice—the magical city that floats and where dream weddings soar.
It’s certainly true that several cities across Italy can lay claim to being able to host the most magnificent weddings, but a wedding in Venice is easily one of the most unforgettable ways to get married in the Bel Paese. Here’s why it has no equal in Italy, or the world for that matter.
Make an entrance like no other
Traffic quite literally flows in Venice; the streets are replaced by canals and cars with gondolas, with the 117small islands connected by a multitude of bridges. Naturally, that already makes for a most grand entrance for any wedding couple; imagine you and your guests being ferried to your wedding venue in decorated gondolas—even our hearts are beating faster at the thought of it!
Venice wedding venues hold an eternal charm
Wedding venues in Venice are able to boast all the elegance and opulence one would come to expect of a classic Italian wedding venue, even with Venice’s unique position.
You can watch the sunset fade from one of the charming palazzos or hotels, with a view of the Grand Canal or the Rialto Bridge, not to mention the other gorgeous landmarks dotted around the city, such as the Doge’s Palace, St. Mark’s Basilica, and Piazza San Marco to mention a few.
When Stars say “I Do” in Venice
It’s no coincidence that some of the world’s most iconic love stories have unfolded right here in Venice. This floating city has long captured the hearts of those seeking not just a wedding, but a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Hollywood royalty George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin exchanged vows on the Grand Canal in 2014, with a romantic ceremony followed by an elegant celebration at the Aman Venice—a historic palazzo turned luxurious seven-star hotel.
Salma Hayek chose Venice for a grand masquerade ball in 2009, bringing timeless glamour to the city’s storied canals after her civil wedding in Paris.
And in June 2025, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez are set to say “I do” during a lavish three-day celebration across Venice, from the serene island of San Giorgio Maggiore to a star-studded reception at the Scuola Grande della Misericordia and the majestic Arsenale.
When celebrities choose Venice, it’s not just for the beauty—it’s for the atmosphere, the magic, the sense that time stands still. A wedding in Venice isn’t just romantic—it’s unforgettable, iconic, and worthy of your own love story.
