About Palazzetto Pisani Grand Canal
Your guests arrive by private boat along the Grand Canal, gliding past Byzantine facades before stepping into a 16th-century palazzo.
Palazzetto Pisani positions you on one of Venice's most storied waterways, where the ceremony unfolds in rooms with original frescoed ceilings and Murano chandeliers, and the reception extends onto a private terrace overlooking water traffic that frames every moment.
This is Venice stripped of crowds, a working palazzo where history becomes your backdrop.
