With its 150 canals, 400 bridges and magnificent 16th- and 17th-century palaces and piazzas, it is no surprise that Venice is considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Gloriously romantic in spring, triumphant in summer, noble in autumn and seductive in winter, it is a popular city break destination year round. To get married in Venice is perhaps the most romantic and unique experience in the world. Just imagine arriving at the ceremony in a decorated Venetian gondola! Civil weddings in Venice are celebrated in the elegant Palazzo Cavalli along the Grand Canal, near Rialto Bridge. The atmosphere and the views are stunning. This is the perfect location for a small, intimate wedding ceremony.
