    Exceptional!!!!

    Since I was a teenager, after having attended a couple weddings at the Venetian, I just knew it would be my dream venue when I got married. Now, I can officially say, it really was a dream come true and surpassed my expectations!

    From the moment we stepped foot inside, we were blown away by the venue's charm and elegance. The staff's warm and welcoming demeanor instantly put us at ease. They were professional, attentive, and truly went above and beyond to make our day perfect.

    The food was absolutely divine! Our guests couldn't stop raving about the mouthwatering dishes. Even our Italian relatives, known for their discerning taste buds, were thoroughly impressed by the authentic flavors and impeccable presentation!

    Throughout the entire event, the venue staff were on the ball, ensuring everything ran smoothly. They were meticulous in their attention to detail and didn't miss a beat. From coordinating with our vendors to accommodating last-minute requests, they made everything feel effortless.

    The ambiance in the Palazzo room is so romantic, and it’s walking down those stairs is like a fairytale!

    We are beyond grateful to the entire team for their hard work and dedication in making our wedding day an unforgettable experience for us and our guests. We wholeheartedly recommend this venue to anyone in search of a dream wedding location. If you want a flawless and memorable celebration, this venue is the one to choose!

    Thank you to everyone at the Venetian for making our special day truly magical!

    Amazing!

    The Venetian was absolutely amazing to work with. Due to the pandemic we had to reschedule our wedding multiple times and each time Toniann offered reassurance that our day would still be perfect. From start to finish I can't say enough about the staff and venue. Carolina our bridal attendant and Val our maître d went above and beyond throughout the whole day. We highly recommend!!

    Best venue ever

    If I could give the Venetian 100 stars I would. From the moment I walked through their doors I knew that the Venetian was the venue for me. Its beauty is one of a kind and the staff is the best out there. I had never been to a wedding at the Venetian before, but I heard so many great things. It is an experience like I cannot even describe. I felt like a princess on my wedding day and the Venetian treated me, my family, and my guests like royalty. They do not miss a single detail. And the food is not only DELICIOUS but there is SO MUCH. Your guests will be talking about your wedding for weeks. I had my wedding during a pandemic and It was STILL a dream come true. I cannot thank them enough

    Incredible

    Absolutely amazing experience. Having to postpone from 1/2/21 to 1/8/22, the Venetian was extremely accommodating and made our wedding the best day ever. They are so amazing to work with and gave my husband and I the wedding of our dreams. My guest are still talking about the food ! 10/10 recommended!

    Amazing Venue

    As soon as we walked into The Venetian after seeing over 10 venues we know this was where we wanted our wedding to be. They were amazing and made sure that everything was perfect on the day of our wedding. The staff was professional and friendly and the food omg the food was amazing. Our guests are still raving about the food. If you are searching for a venue look no further. Our wedding day was magical and everything looked beautiful. The only suggestion I would make is designating a person to be there for all appts we had several appts and each time it was with a different person. It wasn’t a big deal because they were all nice but I personally would have preferred having to deal with one person. Thank you to The Venetian and their staff for making our big day nothing less than perfect.

    If only we could give them 6 Stars!

    My wife and I booked our wedding reception in the Grand Ball Room and the entire event was truly amazing! Everything from the initial meetings to plan all the details to the execution of the reception itself was outstanding. Their Bridal Attendant, Carolina, was so considerate and made sure my wife was always taken care of. Our guests are still talking about the amazing cocktail hour and the truly incredible food from the dinner. The ambience of the Grand Ball Room was exactly what we wanted and the addition of the LED Lighting package and Screens helped further enhance our special day.

    20/10 no hesitation

    Phenomenal staff, BEAUTIFUL venue, incredible food, top shelf drinks... can’t possibly compete! They are a premier wedding venue and we didn’t get a full look until the ballroom but we knew. Their reputation precedes them. We didn’t have a tasting but didn’t need one. They are KNOWN for their cocktail hour and I can’t tell you how many compliments we received on the venue in terms of food. If you’re hesitant about the Venetian, look no further. They are the one stop shop. They handle everything with ease. BOOK THEM!

    Best Night Ever!

    The Venetian has been my dream wedding venue for about ten years! My fiancé did not have much of a choice when it came to our venue. They were so accommodating and wonderful throughout the whole process! I would have to say our best experience was the night of our wedding. We were basically treated like a king and queen for the night, as were our parents! The food was nothing short of amazing, as always, and our bridal attendant, Sylvia, and Maitre'D, Filipe, were the best!! They were there to help us and were always several steps ahead of us - in a good way! Our glasses were always full and Sylvia was kind enough to wrap whatever I didn't eat of my dinner. It was the best night!!

    My husband & I got married here on Friday August 17, 2018 & it was beyond perfect. The Venetian staff is truly one of a kind & treat you like complete royalty. The whole planning process was a breeze with Nora who booked us the venue to Barbara who helped us design the wedding menu. Everyone is friendly, attentive & caters to every want, need & desire you could ever want for your wedding day. On the day of the wedding we had Victor who made sure our day ran as smooth as possible. Everything was beyond perfect & if there was any issues me and my husband never knew! I had Lorna as my bridal attendant & she was truly the best ever. She followed me around all night, holding the back of my dress for me, carrying my bouquet, got my bridal party & myself anything we need from drinks, to hairspray, to tampons to coffees. She truly help keep my sanity on my wedding day. The Venetian has the most extensive cocktail hour, Viennese hour & dinner selection and worth every single penny. We have so many people still ranting about how our wedding was “the best wedding ever” i highly recommend The Venetian for anyone who wants their fairytale wedding.

    I couldn’t say more positive things about The Venetian. It was an experience I will never forget on the best day of my life. We had our wedding at the Venetian this Spring and I can honestly say that it was the best venue I have ever been to. Our maître d (Felipe) and bridal attendant (Aneta) took amazing care of us. I cannot begin to describe the level of service of the staff. Anything that we needed, we had, immediately. Not only did they take fabulous care of us they took amazing care of our families and our guests. They throw the best party in the world. Our family and friends keep raving about the food, service, room and all around whole experience. Worth every penny. Thank you to the entire team at the Venetian for an absolutely FLAWLESS experience!
