Proposal-specific options and logistics
If you plan a proposal rather than a full ceremony, the Grand Canal (gondola) and the resort’s fountain areas or terrace overlooks are common choices. The gondola proposal is a private indoor ride for two on the Grand Canal; these rides are operated by Indoor Gondola Operations and are listed as non-refundable and non-transferable.
Coordinate timing with the Gondola Operations or the Weddings Department to avoid busy times on the canal and to confirm any vendor access (florist, photographer). For outdoor terrace or fountain spots, ask about contingency plans since outdoor ceremonies move indoors in inclement weather.
- Grand Canal gondola: private, indoor, two-person ceremony option
- Reserve in advance with Gondola Operations or Weddings Department
- Discuss photographer/flowers with the weddings team to confirm access and timing
- Outdoor proposals may be moved to The Wedding Chapel if weather prevents use of terrace sites
| Proposal spot | Notes |
|---|---|
| Grand Canal Gondola | Private indoor option; booked through Gondola Operations |
| Fountain Terrace | Outdoor view over a fountain; outdoor-to-indoor weather plan applies |
| Pool Garden Courtyard | Poolside setting; confirm hours and guest access with weddings team |
Wedding packages and what to expect
The Venetian’s Weddings Department offers tiered packages; one referenced example is the Sweetheart package (Monday–Thursday start) and includes a Wedding Specialist, exclusive use of the Wedding Chapel with Fountain View for a limited guest count, a floral allowance, and ceremony music. Full wedding and reception pricing and inclusions vary by package and date.
Packages often bundle ceremony space, coordination, basic floral allowances, and ceremony music; receptions and full buyouts or larger catering needs are quoted separately. The Weddings Department can also arrange vendor lists, tasting appointments, and food-and-beverage minimums for ballroom events.
- Sweetheart package example includes Wedding Specialist and exclusive use of Wedding Chapel with Fountain View for up to a specified number of guests
- Couples who originally married at The Venetian may receive a discount for renewal ceremonies when presenting their marriage certificate
- Receptions, private dining buyouts, and ballroom events are priced separately and should be confirmed with Sales/Weddings
| Package element | Common inclusion |
|---|---|
| Venue rental | Exclusive use for a limited time (varies by site) |
| Coordination | Wedding Specialist assigned |
| Floral/music | Limited floral allowance and ceremony music included in some packages |
Planning timeline and day-of services
Start by contacting The Venetian Resort Weddings Department to check venue availability for your preferred dates and to discuss packages and vendor rules. Larger ballroom events require more lead time due to catering, AV, and setup logistics.
On the wedding day, the property provides event coordination and logistics through the Weddings Department. Note that the Wedding Parlor (Wedding Chamber) is a holding room only; occupants must arrive dressed and ready because changing facilities are not provided there and access begins 45 minutes before ceremony time.
- Contact Weddings Department early for peak dates and ballroom buyouts
- Wedding Parlor is a holding room — arrive ready to avoid last-minute issues
- Outdoor ceremonies have an inclement-weather backup to the Wedding Chapel
| Service | Practical note |
|---|---|
| Day-of coordination | Provided via Wedding Specialist included with many packages |
| Vendor access | Confirm times and loading details with Weddings Department |
| Weather backup | Outdoor ceremonies move to the Wedding Chapel in inclement weather |
