Excellent Wedding Location!

My husband and I had a spontaneous decision on getting married and we planned to have a small wedding ceremony and reception within two weeks. Luckily, we found an opening at this venue. The location is excellent - the restaurant is located next to the Canal Walk and it's 10 minute from the DFW airport. Laura, the Event Director, made the whole process smooth and organized for us and she patiently helped us work within our budget. The rest of the staff at our reception were very friendly and professional. And the food was great! Many of our guests came to us after the event and said they enjoyed the meals very much. We had a wonderful experience working with Laura and her team here. I will definitely recommend this venue for weddings or any special events if you are looking for a simple but elegant riverside setting.

The Best Experience Ever



We got married in November and we used the Venetian Terrace as our venue. Due to Covid, it was an intimate wedding of just 20 of our friends and family. Though small, it was so beautiful, dreamy and felt like a fairy tale.

Now let’s get into how awesome our coordinator/planner was. From the first sit down, we absolutely loved Laura. She was warm, positive, honest, welcoming and an all around delight to be around. Laura was on top of everything and literally took the stress away from me, the bride. She provided us with a list of vendors for decorations, cakes and other things in case we didn’t want to use the venue. But we loved everything the venue had to offer and then more. I can go on and on about her but she made our experience 10x better, our guests loved her and I’m so grateful I had the privilege to meet and work with one of the most beautiful humans. I just love her.

The food was delicious and the area offers so many fabulous picture spots as well. Below are some pics of our special day. Enjoy!!

Our perfect fall outdoor wedding!

Venetian Terrace was the perfect venue for our wedding in November! The location is beautiful, the convenience of having the ceremony and reception in the same location, with the catering being provided on-site, made everything simple. Mona always responded to me quickly and kept everything running smoothly the day-of. The food was delicious and the staff was very attentive. The venue is booked for the entire day, so we were able to access the site in the morning to get all of the décor set up and not have to worry about it later in the day. The price is also very competitive, especially when you consider all that is included. We were initially looking at some other locations that were a bit more DIY, including bringing in your own catering and alcohol, with the assumption we would save money. That wasn't the case! So glad we chose Venetian Terrace for what ended up being a perfect wedding day!

From start to finish the venue was fabulous!! Mona and Sasha are one of a kind, whatever I wanted, they delivered. I love Blue Bell Ice Cream and they made sure I had it for my big day!! My guests loved the food!! We decided on a buffet style dinner and had multiple selections for our guests. I loved that we had the venue to ourselves for the entire day. My vendors were able to come in and get started right away!! They were gracious and most helpful!! The view in my wedding pictures gave it the romantic feel that I was going for!! They were easy to work with and explained everything. Mona also helped me make a few decisions a few days before the wedding to ensure that I was a happy bride and would be pleased with the overall outcome!!

If I could throw every i ever planned at the venetian terrace i would! The food was SO delicious! Sasha was so nice and warm and accommodating. The staff was amazing. I wish i could have had every meal option the night of my wedding because it all looked amazing and my guest RAVED about how good the food was. I am so happy we choose the Venetian terrace. And if I ever have another special event, I will come here!

My husband and I had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Venetian Terrace on June 20, 2015 and everything was perfect from start to finish. We can't thank Sasha, Angela(wedding coordinator), and his staff enough for making our special day perfect. Sasha and his coordinator are amazing, they truly care about their customers. A couple of weeks before the wedding I was a nervous wreck because we really didn't have a plan for how the ceremony and reception would be set up but Sasha took time out of his busy schedule and sat down with us from 4pm in the afternoon until 9pm that night, just to help us lay and plan everything out. By the time we left I was a happy and smiling future bride. Everything went according as planned the day of our wedding. The restaurant was immaculate and the scenery is breath taking. Sasha, Angela, and his entire staff were all very attentive to ours and our guests needs. At one point during our reception, our 9 yr old daughter was out of her seat when the waiters took everyone's orders so I gave her my plate. When I asked the waiter for another plate for myself, he had one sitting in front of me within 2 minutes after asking. Now that's outstanding service. The food was absolutely amazing as well. Our guests are still talking about how amazing the food was. Sasha is truly one of the best chefs we have run across yet! I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a venue to have their wedding or any event period! Thank you Sasha & Venetian Terrace staff for everything!

Sincerely,
Rob & Schrita Wilson

Angela was my coordinator for the day of. So we only met the week before. I wish I had her sooner then maybe my day would have went smoother (to me) because everyone loved it. But the venue is unique and amazing. Angela saved the day and I forgot to thank her during my toast.
