A true gem. A little off the main tourist paths but still a perfect and central location for your stay in Venice. The neighbourhood offers a bit of authentic feel and there are a lot of cafés, bars and restaurants in the vicinity.

Questions about the venue
Can we get married outside on the campo?+
The campo itself is a public space, but Hotel Aquarius can arrange ceremonies on its terrace or in the palazzo's halls overlooking the square. Legal civil ceremonies must occur in Venice's Municipio; the hotel coordinates this process.
How many guests can the hotel accommodate?+
The property holds up to 150 reception guests. On-site accommodations include 25 rooms, with partner hotels nearby for additional overflow guests.
What's included in wedding packages?+
Contact the hotel directly at http://www.hotelaquariusvenice.com/ for customized packages. Typical services include venue rental, catering, room blocks, and wedding coordination.
Do guests need a boat to reach the hotel?+
Venice is car-free, but the hotel is accessible on foot from Piazzale Roma (15-minute walk) or by vaporetto water bus. Hotel staff assist with water taxi and boat transfers.
What's the best season for a wedding here?+
November–March can be rainy; verify flood risk (acqua alta) with the hotel during booking.
