Wedding ceremony in Grand Hotel Palazzo

As they wanted to host some guests while being surrounded by the history of Venice, they celebrated their ceremony at the gardens of the Grand Hotel Palazzo dei Dogi. This XVII century palace has great importance as it had the city’s first botanical garden and worked as a monastery or embassy in the past, amongst other reasons. The Grand Hotel Palazzo in Venice stands as a timeless marvel, blending historical elegance with modern luxury. Nestled along the stunning Grand Canal, its majestic façade mesmerizes visitors, hinting at the opulence within. Each room is a sanctuary of refinement, adorned with lavish furnishings and adorned with intricate details. Guests are transported to an era of aristocratic splendor, where impeccable service reigns supreme. From its panoramic rooftop terrace, one can behold the breathtaking vista of Venice, a city steeped in romance and intrigue. Whether savoring gourmet cuisine in its fine restaurants or indulging in pampering at the spa, every moment at the Grand Hotel Palazzo is an unforgettable journey through Venetian sophistication.

Chelsea and Cade traveled from Austin, Texas, to Venice with their loved ones because they value family and quality time, which drove them together. But they also fell in love because they have the same humor style; together, it is always fun. And that’s what they wanted for their Venice destination wedding ceremony!

Venice destination wedding with effortless elegance

The couple is easygoing and low maintenance, but they have this elegant aura that accompanies them. And it is reflected in the whole wedding aesthetic. Chelsea wore a beautiful, simple mermaid gown with a novelty fabric that complimented very well her gorgeous face. Her hair, styled with waves, gave her this effortless beauty look as a goddess from a legendary myth. Cade wore a cream, textured suit, a casual outfit with the right pinch of elegance that you would expect in a city like Venice.

The ceremony was held in the Palazzo dei Dogi gardens, which are already beautiful without any extras. That’s why they kept the decor at a minimum but on point: antique and vintage furniture was enough to hold a marvelous ceremony full of emotional and joyful moments. As the groom and bride are Christians, Love Gracefully officiant honored their faith during this vital moment of union.

Once the ceremony was over, the couple hosted a reception for their guests in the same hotel gardens, where their friends and family could enjoy the best culinary delicacies of Italian cuisine. Organizing your ceremony in Venice or any other Italian city to get married is always a great choice: their cuisine is universal and loved worldwide, and it will easily cater to all tastes.

It was a delight to help Chelsea and Cade to make their dream come true.
