Historic Charm and Iconic Views

Our beautiful couple, Serena and David, embarked on a gondola adventure just steps away from the ceremony and reception location at the historic Hotel Monaco & Grand Canal in Venice. This elegant hotel, steeped in romantic ambiance and historic charm, is an ideal setting for a destination wedding. We captured the iconic view from the terrace of the hotel’s Grand Canal Restaurant and Bar.

Classical Architecture

The Hotel Monaco’s elegant ballroom is truly magnificent. Its grand ceiling boasts intricate plasterwork, and a large, circular fresco painting graces the space. Classical architecture defines the room, with tall columns and detailed archways. Large, arched windows adorned with sheer curtains allow natural light to highlight the exquisite details.

Amanda and her team at AMV Weddings took elegance to new heights with their stunning reception details. A long dining table stretches down the center, adorned with luxurious tableware. Soft, muted floral arrangements and tall candles cast a warm, romantic glow. Gold-framed chairs, complete with white cushions, surround the table, adding to the overall grandeur. The meticulous attention to detail creates the perfect setting for a luxurious wedding reception.
