Foresteria Valdese Venezia in Venezia, open June–September.
Foresteria Valdese Venezia operates as a working hotel within a 16th-century palazzo, offering wedding groups direct access to Venice's Castello district without the typical resort isolation.
Rather than a dedicated event space, this venue leverages its 35 guest rooms and intimate palazzo architecture to create multi-day wedding experiences where celebrations happen organically throughout the building and surrounding Venice.
The property's dual function as operational hotel means your wedding integrates with daily hospitality rather than occupying a cordoned event zone.
A great location, the view from our 4-person room on the 2nd floor was amazing, a very nice breakfast, on demand coffee and tea in the cafeteria during the day. Very clean, warm when it was cold outside. It is a gorgeous building with some rooms pretty basic and others more historic. The beds were very comfortable.

Asked along the way.
Can you accommodate a 100-person wedding?+
Foresteria operates flexibly for groups up to approximately 80-100 people by utilizing multiple palazzo rooms and coordinating with nearby venues. Confirm exact capacity and layout options during initial consultation with management.
Do you offer wedding packages or à la carte planning?+
Contact the hotel directly at the website or phone to discuss customized arrangements. As a working hotel rather than dedicated wedding venue, pricing and services are negotiated per event.
What's included with guest rooms?+
Room rates typically include breakfast. Verify current amenities, Wi-Fi access, and any wedding group discounts when booking blocks of 10+ rooms.
Can ceremonies happen outdoors?+
