About

The Venetian Estate is an elegant, full-service wedding venue nestled in Milton, West Virginia. The building was originally constructed in 1923, giving the grounds a storied air. The mansion has now been transformed into a restaurant while the stables serve as a pub, providing fine food and drink for visitors. The multiple event spaces both inside and out offer couples flexibility as they arrange the wedding of their dreams.

Facilities and Capacity

Soon-to-be newlyweds can host small soirees as well as larger events with over 200 people at the estate. The Venetian Ballroom is able to accommodate up to 220 guests for a truly splendid celebratory occasion. Outside, couples can mark their milestone moment on the Cypress or the Gazebo lawns, which are surrounded by vibrant gardens. These paradises provide a tranquil and memorable setting for vow exchanges and dining and dancing. Each of The Venetian Estate’s spaces can be transformed to fit the couple’s vision which allows the pair the ability to host a celebration that is one-of-a-kind. Dressing rooms are also available for the couple and their wedding party to relax as they get ready for the day’s festivities.

The Venetian Estate’s culinary and events team is skilled at making a couple’s ideas become a reality. These experts attend to all the details regarding the cuisine and beverages to ensure a seamless event. In addition to offering an expansive menu, they can customize dishes to suit the couple’s tastes. The culinary professionals provide the couple and their entourage with food in the dressing room to add to the day’s enjoyment and luxury as well. The team also offers linens, centerpieces, installations, and other rentals to help complete the space’s look.

Perfect Wedding!

The Venetian made all of my wedding dreams come true! They followed all of my decor wishes and made sure everything was exactly how I wanted it. My wedding day went so smoothly and they helped guide me through every part of the day. They also have the most beautiful setting and so many gorgeous photo opportunities. Highly recommend them to anyone wanting to have an all inclusive wedding venue!

Such a perfect experience!

Hayleigh and Makinzy were amazing ladies that worked so hard to make my wedding day perfect! Even though our wedding was small with less than 25 people, they never made me feel less important. They helped me work through all the details and took so much off my plate come the big day. From decorations to the cake and so much more they were always one step ahead of me. I truly felt like they would have done anything to make me happy and to ensure our day was perfect. We got along so well and they felt like friends when it was all said and done. Our package also included the food and our guests agreed it was some of the best food served at a wedding! I was so thankful that we hired the Venetian for our wedding and have been recommending it to all my friends as well.

They were amazing and we couldn’t have asked for better!

We had a micro wedding here and it was exactly what we wanted. If you’re looking for something small, romantic and stress free this is your place! They have many wedding packages for larger weddings as well! They were so beyond helpful even when it rained on our wedding day. They did absolutely everything they could to make it perfect for us and we couldn’t have asked for better. I 100% recommend this venue!

I was the DJ there for two weddings this month.

I was the DJ for weddings on the last two Saturdays at the Venetian Estate. This place is easy to get to, beautiful, functional and most of all they have a very efficient staff. The main reason why this is a great place to have your wedding ceremony and reception is the planner, Val Huffman. I have worked venues from Chicago to Tampa and many places in between. She wants your day to be as perfect as you do and that is what it takes. If you choose the Venetian then you have chosen well.

It was a bumpy ride

I should preface this by saying my wedding was beautiful and we did have an amazing night. However, it took a lotttt to get there.

The first coordinator was fired and no one notified us, so we were completely in the dark for months. We basically had to plan everything in 4-5 months and other coordinators were dropping like flies. I’ve gone from coordinator to coordinator and no one seems to communicate. They also did not make me aware of several key things, like the fact that another wedding was happening that same day and a rehearsal during our set up time. We found out about the rehearsal on the wedding day. They tore down all of our decor right after our ceremony and we didn’t get any group photos in front of it.

They did not communicate with kitchen staff so no one knew who was suppose to get what food based on our color coded place cards despite the fact that I emailed this to them TWICE and they assured me color coding was okay. The food also arrived cold according to some of my guests. The wait staff dropped plates loudly during dinner service. The cake, however, was beautiful and delicious.

I think a lot of problems could have been solved if they focused on one event. It seemed like the entire staff was in a frenzy over their multiple events. This was not entirely their fault, and I know they tried to remedy the situation as best they could. For example, we were able to set up a few days early to see the space, we were able to store our items the night before, and they were able to accommodate us last minute for the rehearsal dinner when the hotel lost power.

I reserved this space to avoid as much stress as possible and to be a little more hands-off considering I’m an out of state bride. I know you can’t avoid stress entirely but I was blind sided several times throughout the planning process and even on the day of. It was not the planning experience I would have liked to have. Oh, and they owe us money and I haven’t heard from management regarding it.

All in all, it was probably one of the most beautiful weddings and venues. I got several comments on how gorgeous it was and I know the pictures will be amazing and everyone had a great time dancing and laughing and crying. So if you’re willing to go through a huge hassle like I did, then this is the place for you. Given their price though, there should not have been these many issues.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
