Luxury Wedding

Venues Italy

By www.federicanascimben.com

Amalfi Coast Venue

This is surely one of our favourite venue in Positano : a two-story stone

building located on the beach, in the heart of Positano in a secluded and

intimate position. The castle-like look contributes to create a unique romantic

atmosphere enhanced by the great attention to details. Surely a pleasant

and relaxing venue ideal for a candlelight wedding reception with a breath-

taking view of Positano and the sea.

Romantic and with fabulous views that can be enjoyed from all the terraces,

the sophisticated atmosphere of this place attracts VIPs and stars. We had

the pleasure to organize parties for Justine Timberlake, Beverly Mitchell and

many others!! You can be one of them.

Regarding your ceremony: for your civil wedding you could take advantage

of the panoramic terrace of the town hall, instead for a catholic service

Positano can offer you a wonderful cathedral on the beach, at walking

distance from this restaurant! In case you may be interested instead in

blessing or symbolic wedding the top terrace of the restaurant, called ‘the

Paradise Terrace’ (guess why???) is at your complete disposal.

The interiors are characterized by the typical local Mediterranean decoration

and atmosphere : stone walls, unusual, modern lighting effects in the disco,

furnished with small white leather sofas. Beautiful marble mosaic in the

middle of the floor.

The restaurant proposes an excellent Mediterranean cuisine and great

selection of Italian and International wines. Neapolitan cuisine with a modern

twist. Local specialties with emphasis on fresh seafood. Renown for lobster

and shellfish from the Mediterranean Sea, the restaurant offers a menu with

many choices that you can freely customize. Don’t miss the superb wine

cellar, hewn in the rock!

An elegant Cocktail bar and Dancing club is located on the ground floor

ideal for dancing until dawn. We can easily reserve for you and your guests

an area in the disco for your after reception party. This is one of Italy’s most

beautiful discos.

Prices are very reasonable considering the exclusivity of this location:

affordable to luxury, depending on weather the venue is rented as a whole

(restaurant, terraces and disco) or in part, like a terrace for symbolic

weddings. The main restaurant on the first floor is divided in different size

terraces available for intimate parties.

Surely one of the first options to consider for your wedding in Positano!!

Florence Venues

Palazzo Vecchio Wedding Hall

The "Red Hall" is one of the most dramatic locations for a wedding. The

only city that can compare is Venice. The hall is possibly the finest and most

elegant in Italy with silk drapes and gilded mirrors. One of the most

requested locations in a city that is bursting at every corner with antiquities,

art and history. What a setting for your photos. You could arrive in a horse

drawn carriage!

Catholic Church, Santa Trinita'

The church was built in the 1100's, but was further transformed during the

1300's and then finally in the early Renaissance its present design was

completed. Located in one of the most important and central streets in

Florence. This magnificent Church with its majestic renaissance façade

dominates a small square just few steps away from the Arno River and the

Ponte Vecchio.

The interior is formed by three naves divided by columns with lovely arches

and vaulted ceilings. Completely restored to its beauty, it has some stunning

frescoes by Ghirlandaio and marble works by Luca della Robbia.

Magnificent 17th Century Baroque Church

After years of partial closure, the church of Saints Michael and Cajetan

finally returns once more for everyone’s admiration as a place where artistic

beauty exceeds.

The Church represents one of the most substantial realizations of Florentine

architecture of the 17th century and may undoubtedly be considered as the

coffer of Florentine baroque, for the quality and quantity of treasures

contained in it.

Indeed, in the forms we currently admire, the building was reconstructed in

1604 on the place of an older church, put up at the north-west corner of the

Roman-walls, dedicated to St. Michael the Archangel, the origins of which

were documented in 1055.

Venice Venues

The XV Century Gothic Palace

This 16th Century offers its guests a unique experience both for those that

have already visited Venice, or for those visiting for the first time. We do

highly recommend this wonderful venue if you wish to experience the

genuine and authentic Venetian hospitality, being at the same time so

central and far from the crowd. This is a special place especially if you wish

to exchange your vows, for a blessing or symbolic wedding in the romantic

courtyard of the Palace, ideal for this type of occasions.

You and your guests could also stay in the Palace. Every apartment is a

microcosm of elegance and luxury; from the Murano chandeliers, the rich

curtains, the refined furniture of the XIX century, until Jacuzzi's in every

apartment; everything has been enriched and carefully perfected in all

details in order to make the glitz of the past live again in our modern time.

The overlooking Gaffaro Canal apartments, not only offer an amazing view,

but they also give you the magic atmosphere of the passing gondolas and

the echo of the typical Venetian serenade sung by the gondoliers

The privileged position of this Palazzo offers every apartment silence and

peacefulness which will give a greater pleasure to your holiday.

In every apartment

- Small kitchen with eletric hotplate, microwave, tableware and cookers

- Individual air conditioning and heating system

- Adsl internet wi-fi connection for unlimited and free use

- Satellite TV

- Bathroom wih Jacuzzy bathtub, hairdryer and international plug for razors

The Church Of San Giacomo Dell'orio

The Church of San Giacomo dell'Orio lies in the Santa Croce area of

Venice, in a quiet district within the first bend of the Grand Canal. The

church is an old one, founded before the tenth century and rebuilt in the

thirteenth. It contains a few interesting historical features and some good

paintings. The church is included in the Chorus Pass initiative.

San Giacomo dell'Orio is one of those distorted Venetian names, and one of

which no-one now knows the origins. Although San Giacomo is St. James,

guesses for the dell'Orio part are as diverse as St. James of the Wolf, or St.

James of the Laurel.

After the church's old but humble exterior, the interior comes as a rather

unexpected patchwork of history. One of the highlights is a glamorous green

marble column, probably looted by the Venetians from somewhere in the

East. Around the high altar there is some attractive Renaissance decoration

of coloured marbles, although the rest of the walls have a rather bare look.

The ceiling, which is showing its great age, is made of painted and carved

wood, one of two preserved ship's-keel ceilings in Venice (the other is in

Santo Stefano). As well as exploiting the Venetians' shipbuilding skills, this

type of roof also lightens the load on the building's foundations.

There are quite a few interesting paintings to view: many works by Palma il

Giovane, including rich representations of St. Laurence presenting his

Church's treasures (the poor), and roasting on his grill (to be found in the

left transept). There are also works by Veronese and a good painting of

three plague saints: Roch, Laurence and Sebastian by Buonconsiglio. The

painting behind the high altar is a Madonna by Lorenzo Lotto. It's worth

taking a look at the interesting small statues dotted around the church, some

of which are unusual and rather sweet.

San Giacomo dell'Orio is in the Santa Croce area of Venice. Although it is

located on the square named after it, Campo San Giacomo dell'Orio, the

church's facade and entrance are actually around the corner, facing onto a

small canal or rio. The nearest vaporetto stops are Riva de Biasio and San

Stae.

Civil Weddings At Palazzo Cavalli

The Municipality of Venice provides couples from all over the world with the

opportunity to pronounce their irrevocable "I do" by emerging themselves in

the romantic atmosphere which only this lagoon city can offer.

Inside the building a series of rooms is set aside for the bride and groom,

offering a breathtaking panorama over the Grand Canal and including a

privileged view of the Rialto Bridge.

Of course, the most thrilling way to arrive is by gondola, accompanied by

the delicate lapping of the water and by the magnificence of the façades of

the palazzi which provide the ideal backdrop for a fairy-tale setting.

The historical Palazzo Cavalli stands in one of the most picturesque areas

of Venice, overlooking the Grand Canal close to the Rialto Bridge. It is a

three-floor, XVI century Renaissance building whose façade is characterised

by a sequence of stone corbels above the base, which support the two main

floors with their four- and one-mullioned windows. A visit here means

discovering a wonderful room with XVIII century stuccoes.

The building takes its name from the Cavalli family who lived there; it was

also the residence of the American novelist James Fenimore Cooper and of

the art scholar Aldo Ravà who furnished the Palazzo in the typical, XVIII

century Venetian style, with original paintings, furniture and ceramics.

Inside, a series of elegantly furnished rooms on the piano nobile are

devoted to the bride and groom. The largest is full of light, with large

windows overlooking the Grand Canal taking up one whole wall and

providing a definitely privileged panorama. In it you can also admire an

impressive painting entitled "The Golden Wedding" dating from 1909. The

painting, an oil on canvas measuring 120 cm. by 207 cm., is a work by the

famous Venetian artist Luigi Nono (1850-1918).

A delightful adjoining smaller room, finely decorated and enriched with

period furniture, welcomes the bride and groom by providing a view of the

unique and extraordinary Rialto Bridge.

The beauty and charm of the setting are further enhanced by the welcome

and tact reserved for those couples who choose to celebrate their marriage

in Venice.

In Palazzo Cavalli the bride and groom will have a group of expert people at

their disposal, ready to create a magic and solemn atmosphere for their

most romantic of days. Be part of a fairy-tale, by choosing any day of the

week at your favourite time of year.

Lake Garda Venues

Malcesine Più

The intense light, the sun dancing on the crests of the lake and the radiant

sunsets arouse unique and unrepeatable sensations in Malcesine…

Lights and shadows define the imposing masses of the steep slopes that

rise almost menacingly above the deep, inaccessible gorges of Mount

Baldo, the ancient testimony of chaotic and devastating cataclysms that

shaped a rough and difficult environment, in stark contrast with the small

inhabited area, the fruit of landslides that the Mediterranean climate and the

slow work of nature and man have softened, with hillsides rich with olives,

cypress trees and oleanders.

Many gardens still host lemon trees laden with fragrant flowers and golden

fruits, which stand out among the intensely green fronds, the remains of

more ancient and vaster lemon-houses, which time and urban expansion

have irretrievably cancelled.

The castle of Malcesine has been reconstructed by the Scaligers with

breathtaking view of the lake and the town. It is also available for outdoor

civil weddings : a fairytale venue for the most important day of your Life!

Malcesine is surely a superb location for a wedding, offering an unbeatable

climate and a long list of entertainment options!
