Venezia Waterfront Banquet Facility & Restaurant

We had our NYE wedding at the Venezia in 2021! We had a two-year engagement and enjoyed every moment of working with Nina! She always had the ability to help us through tough moments and there were many due to COVID. Our guest list drastically dropped during the week leading up to our wedding and I can't thank Nina and her team for all the work they did to accommodate for that. We asked all of our guests to wear masks during our ceremony and the Venezia team made sure our supply of masks was upfront and center when folks walked in. We even asked to keep the doors to the deck open a bit to increase airflow and they did that without even a blink of an eye! Nina was so attentive and responsive! She made our special day everything we could have ever imagined! The decor of this venue at Christmas time is also so stunning!!! On the day of the wedding the staff, food, and venue were impeccable! We had two attendants for the whole night that made sure we were well taken care of and they worked so hard! We have received so many compliments that this was one of the best weddings anyone had ever been to!

From start to finish, working with Venezia (and specifically Jen McGuire) was an absolute joy! Our December, 2024 wedding reception was everything we dreamed of and we could not be happier! From our very first meeting, Jen took the stress out of wedding planning and put us at ease right away. With her knowledge, expertise, and professionalism, she reassured us that everything would come together in the way we imagined. We felt so secure during the whole planning process knowing that we were in great hands with Jen and the Venezia team. This was true even though the new upper mezzanine space was still being built when we booked the venue! We never felt worried, and the new space was absolutely beautiful and perfect for us! I sent Jen so many long emails with endless questions and she always got right back to me with helpful information that truly made the process fun and as easy as possible. On the day of, Venezia delivered the night of our lives! We had two attendants who took amazing care of us the whole night making sure we got a chance to eat and had everything we needed to fully enjoy ourselves. The food was incredible, and our guests have continued to tell us how much they loved it! Everyone had a blast with the hot cocoa bar and espresso martini ice luge too! The service was top-notch and made us feel so special. We could not recommend Venezia highly enough! We are so grateful to have such wonderful memories of our wedding day that we will always cherish.

We had the most incredible experience hosting our NYE wedding reception at Venezia. From the very beginning, Nina made the entire process so smooth and stress-free. She was organized, patient, and truly cared about making our vision a reality. Nina is the best!

On the big day, the staff went above and beyond. They were attentive, professional, and made sure everything ran seamlessly. We heard so many compliments from our guests about how amazing the food was—people are still talking about it!

The new ballroom upstairs was beautiful, the service was flawless, and the whole experience exceeded our expectations. We’re so grateful to the entire team at Venezia for helping make our wedding day so special!!

Venezia is a gorgeous venue and we fell in love with it the first time we saw it. We knew our experience would be magical, but what made it even more magical are the amazing staff who worked really hard to make everything perfect for our day.

Nina took great care of us, she was so well organized and had everything clearly outlined to make sure we had a very easy and smooth ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. We were running late coming in from the hotel, and we are so grateful that Nina had everything all set to smoothly get us in the venue and ready for the ceremony.

Dario was an incredible bartender, he had met with us prior to our wedding date and helped us pick the best options for his/her drinks. He took great care of us and our guests! Both of us, the bride and groom, were very well taken care of, the staff made sure we had plenty of food, drinks and water, we felt like royalty. All our guests were so impressed with the delicious food and the professionalism of the staff.

Where does one begin! Jennifer was the absolute best wedding coordinator a bride could ever ask for ! She helped answer all of our questions and helped us to keep within or budget. Jennifer was flexible, kind, and so easy to get along with. She kept in contact all throughout the wedding process and was on her A game the day of the wedding. She worked well with all of my vendors and made sure everyone and everything was all set ! The staff at the Venezia was incredible as well. Huge shout out to Rob for keeping up fed and all of our guests happy and Devon for the best espresso martinis ever !!!! The venue was gorgeous and everything a bride could ever dream of. We love you Jennifer and staff and wish we could do it all over again. Thank you for all of your help, kindness, love and support !

My husband and I are more than pleased with our wedding at Venezia. Everything from the very beginning when we chose this venue to the second we walked out of the venue at the end of our wedding was perfect. Nina the event coordinator was so great to work with and did not make me worry about anything. She always had everything under control and was on top of the planning the whole entire process. Our wedding attendants Rob and Aaron were a very pleasant surprise. They literally went above and beyond for my husband, kids, our parents, and myself the whole entire time, I don't know what I would of done without them! The actual venue itself is so amazing and beautiful. Everyone who came to the wedding still talks about what hidden gem this place is and how beautiful it was, how delicious the food was, and how amazing the views from the deck were. We did the brunch wedding and had our ceremony on the grand staircase. It was beautiful and perfect and everything we had hoped for. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a wedding venue.

We are so happy that we chose to have our wedding at Venezia! Everything about the venue exceeded our expectations. Working with Nina, the event coordinator, was effortless. She worked closely with our vendors, had great communication, was well organized, and ensured that everything went as planned on our big day. The entire staff at Venezia were exceptional. They truly went above and beyond to make our wedding as special as we had imagined. Our personal attendants made sure we and our parents never had to ask for a drink or hors d'oeuvres, they showed the groom how to carry the train of the wedding dress, and they opened the ballroom doors for our grand reception entrance on the exact right note of our song. The food and drinks were superb and the setting at Venezia, with the beautiful ballroom and deck overlooking the ocean, cannot be beat! Our guests (and we) were stunned by the venue and the service. Thank you Venezia for making our wedding an absolute dream!

The Venezia made all of my fairytale wedding dreams come true and more. My husband and I got married this New Years Eve (12/31/2019) at the Venezia. We had both our ceremony & reception at the Venezia. Our ceremony was slightly unique in being that it took place on the stairs in the foyer, followed by a cocktail hour in the foyer, and then a reception in the main ballroom ending at 1am. I don’t even know where to start with how amazing EVERYTHING at the Venezia was and I want to make sure I include everything!
Venue: The Venezia is absolutely beautiful, from its location on the harbor overlooking Boston’s skyline, to the stunning white marble foyer with its beautiful grand staircase, to the elegant ballroom that overlooks the harbor with floor to ceiling windows. Everything about this venue is truly breathtaking!
Food: The food is amazing. I have had so many guests that are still calling and telling me how amazing the food was. Our photography (Mark Davidson Photography) did a really great job of capturing some really great shots of the incredible food displays that Venezia put out and I will attach them to this review. Everything was delicious.
Service: I have also had so many guests calling me telling how incredible the service was at the Venezia. So many guests have commented on how attentive the staff was to everything, they never felt like they were looking around to find someone to help them. I had a few guests that are actually in the catering/event field and they were among the ones commenting about how impressed they were with the service they received at the Venezia.
The day of, we had 2 personal attendants, Frances and Rob, that were with the bridal party in the bridal suite prior to the ceremony until the end of the night. They were incredible! Frances was so helpful in the bridal suite helping me and my bridesmaids and making sure we didn’t need anything and running back and forth between the bridal suite upstairs to the room where the groom & groomsmen were. And Rob was seriously amazing from getting the keys to open the gate to the dock so we could take pictures out there, to making sure I had my favorite beer (Angry Orchard) he was just amazing!
Brenda: And finally, there is not one word that can describe Brenda Seekins, the leader of the entire show, because she truly is a super woman. From the very beginning, she is by your side guiding you through the entire wedding planning process. She is not only so nice, but she makes you feel like you are the only bride that she working with! She really spends so much time working with you so that you are getting the wedding of all your dreams.
I made all of my centerpieces and the majority of all of our wedding decor, and the weekend before the wedding, she spent an entire afternoon, going over everything single centerpiece and piece of decor to make sure that it was all set up perfectly.
She really went above and beyond when she re-adjusted her personal schedule, and came in on her day off to run my wedding rehearsal because she wanted to make sure that everything was perfect for my big day. And I had a huge bridal party, 11 bridesmaids and 11 groomsmen, with the ceremony taking place on the grand staircase in the foyer. So this was not your traditional ceremony, and required a lot of attention to make sure that everyone understood what they were doing so that everything looked good.
And when I tell you the ceremony was incredible, it was out of this world. I will admit, I was a little worried that it just wasn’t going to look good or something would go wrong, but it was perfect and better than I ever could have imagined! The day of Brenda just does it ALL and somehow makes it look effortless (I will also include pictures from the ceremony). She truly is a badass boss woman! There’s a reason why she has this job, because no one else could do it as incredible as her!

I just want to thank everyone at the Venezia, the entire staff, Brenda, and anyone who helped make our day so incredible! I couldn’t have dreamt of a more perfect day and that because of everyone at the Venezia!

My Husband and I had our wedding at Venezia Boston in August and it was beautiful! This was a busy year for my husband and I, but nevertheless we were able to plan our wedding in 8 months. From the time we had our tour at Venezia to the minute we said I do, we felt as if we had support every step of the way thanks to Brenda. Brenda was great!! She was very responsive via phone and email in answering all of our many questions, suggesting vendors, and was able to meet with us when we needed.

The day of the wedding, we had attendants helping us with anything we needed (Thanks Robert And Frances) and of course Brenda was there coordinating and making sure everything went smoothly! I got ready at a hotel and finishing touches were done in the bridal suite, which is really nice! It’s a cozy and classy bridal suite large enough for our bridal party and us. The furniture there is classy enough for photos and their large mirror is a must have for preparation photos.

We were blessed to have beautiful weather on our wedding day. Although there is no outdoor ceremony space at Venezia, there are different indoor options. If an outdoor ceremony is a must for you, this will not be the place. Our ceremony was lovely! We were married on the grand staircase. We still had plenty of outdoor photo opportunities as this wedding venue overlooks the water and has a beautiful gazebo!

The reception ballroom is very elegant. Whatever theme you’re going for, you can achieve. The ballroom is large enough to accommodate a huge wedding, but still fitting for a small wedding like ours. Not much decor is needed at all since it’s so beautiful, so even the smallest accents are enough to achieve the look you want.

There’s plenty of space to dance on the dance floor and you have the added bonus of an outdoor deck for guests to mingle and get some fresh air.

We were very happy with our choice to get married there, so if you’re looking to get married in Boston, you should at least make an appointment and check it out. Hope you love it as much as we did!

I would highly recommend Venezia to anyone planning their wedding. From the first meeting, they responded and took care of my every need. My guest raved about the food and atmosphere. The entire night, my husband and I were treated like royalty. Thank you Brenda and the entire team for the wedding of my dreams!
