In St. Mark’s, wedding ceremonies are held in the crypt. After seven years of restoration work, it was reopened to the public in 1994. The hall of the crypt was built in the 11th century and lies below sea level. The interior, dark and very intimate, is ideal for a romantic wedding with close family and friends.
Santa Maria dei Miracoli
One of the city's loveliest churches, it has often been compared to a jewel-casket. Built between 1481 and 1489, its façade is completely covered by colourful marbles inspired by the architecture of St. Mark’s. Inside, the church is decorated with the same marble slabs in hues of pale pink, silver, grey and white and an extraordinary giltwood ceiling.
San Giacomo dall'Orio
One of the oldest churches in Venice founded in the 12th century, situated in one of the most charming "campi" of the city. The exterior dating back to different periods preserves the original bell tower. In the fascinating interior you can admire a wonderful ship's keel ceiling, one of the few left in town. The church houses a number of important Renaissance paintings.
San Salvador
The church of San Salvador is located at the Rialto near the intersection of the Mercerie, the main commercial section of town. One of the largest ecclesiastical spaces built in the Renaissance, San Salvador marks the arrival in Venice of the High Renaissance-style architecture of Alberti, Bramante and Michelangelo.
Santa Fosca a Torcello
A truly unique architectural jewel, it dates back to the 11th-12th centuries. Built on a central plan, it is surrounded by an octagonal portico. The inside is an essential space, expressing a sense of abstract holiness and a balanced harmony between architectural proportions and light.
San Giovanni Crisostomo
The Church of San Giovanni Crisostomo is the last work of Mauro Codussi. He constructed it between 1479 and 1504. Unlike many of the popular churches in Venice, this is a small building, and it is a terracotta-colored church. The interior is a simple Greek-cross plan, inside, it is dark and very intimate, the atmosphere is benefited by the presence of several notable art works.
San Giorgio dei Greci - Greek Orthodox
In Venice there is the most beautiful Orhtodox church in Western Europe, San Giorgio dei Greci. We can organize Orthodox weddings in this wonderful location.
Scuola Grande dei Carmini
Ideal for symbolic ceremonies.
St. George’s (Anglican)
The service will in fact be a Blessing of your Marriage, and you will have to obtain a legal marriage certificate beforehand, which the Chaplain has to see. (This can either be done in Venice the same morning, for which you will be well advised to get the help of the Consulate office or in advance at the Registry office near to your home, even if that is in another country).
However, that does not prevent us from having a wonderful service like a marriage, in which you will dedicate your marriage vows to God in front of all your witnesses, and we will pray for God’s Blessing on your marriage.
Scuola Grande di San Giovanni Evangelista
Ideal for symbolic ceremonies.
