We had our NYE wedding at the Venezia in 2021! We had a two-year engagement and enjoyed every moment of working with Nina! She always had the ability to help us through tough moments and there were many due to COVID. Our guest list drastically ...
dropped during the week leading up to our wedding and I can't thank Nina and her team for all the work they did to accommodate for that. We asked all of our guests to wear masks during our ceremony and the Venezia team made sure our supply of masks was upfront and center when folks walked in. We even asked to keep the doors to the deck open a bit to increase airflow and they did that without even a blink of an eye! Nina was so attentive and responsive! She made our special day everything we could have ever imagined! The decor of this venue at Christmas time is also so stunning!!! On the day of the wedding the staff, food, and venue were impeccable! We had two attendants for the whole night that made sure we were well taken care of and they worked so hard! We have received so many compliments that this was one of the best weddings anyone had ever been to!

prepared, professional, and all around takes care of everything for you! All of our guests kept commenting on how beautiful the venue was with the sunset views on the patio as well as the delicious food (and awesome desserts). Their services are impeccable and everyone was so kind and accommodating the entire time. Even when we went to pick up our personal items in the days following the wedding, all I had to do was pull up to the venue and Jose and the other staff had packed everything up and even put it in our car for us. Thank you Nina, Jose, and the rest of the Venezia staff for making our wedding a beautiful, wonderful experience!

Our personal attendants made sure we and our parents never had to ask for a drink or hors d'oeuvres, they showed my husband how to carry the train of the wedding dress, and they opened the ballroom doors for our grand reception entrance on the exact right note of our song. The food and drinks were superb and the setting at Venezia, with the beautiful ballroom and deck overlooking the ocean, cannot be beat! Our guests (and we) were stunned by the venue and the service. Thank you Venezia for making our wedding an absolute dream!

actual wedding day where everything was perfect and how I envisioned it. Even on my most stressful moments of wedding planning Nina was on point and made sure to put me at ease. Recently married on 6/26/2021 - Venezia were complete pros! All of the staff at Venezia took care of the smallest details with a smile, they helped to ensure my husband and I were both happy and that we were taken care of. A specific moment that came to mind was when I was walking to the pier for pictures, there was a small puddle and the staff member pointed it out, took my bouquet, made sure my husband helped me with my dress so that I wouldn’t get dress ruined. I mean these small details left me feeling like I was truly important on what was one of our most memorable days! Oh and the food… AMAZING! Absolutely delicious, the appetizers, the brunch feast… all our guests were pleased! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to the team at Venezia- my husband and I could not have chosen a better place to celebrate our union.

that it took place on the stairs in the foyer, followed by a cocktail hour in the foyer, and then a reception in the main ballroom ending at 1am. I don’t even know where to start with how amazing EVERYTHING at the Venezia was and I want to make sure I include everything! Venue: The Venezia is absolutely beautiful, from its location on the harbor overlooking Boston’s skyline, to the stunning white marble foyer with its beautiful grand staircase, to the elegant ballroom that overlooks the harbor with floor to ceiling windows. Everything about this venue is truly breathtaking! Food: The food is amazing. I have had so many guests that are still calling and telling me how amazing the food was. Our photography (Mark Davidson Photography) did a really great job of capturing some really great shots of the incredible food displays that Venezia put out and I will attach them to this review. Everything was delicious. Service: I have also had so many guests calling me telling how incredible the service was at the Venezia. So many guests have commented on how attentive the staff was to everything, they never felt like they were looking around to find someone to help them. I had a few guests that are actually in the catering/event field and they were among the ones commenting about how impressed they were with the service they received at the Venezia. The day of, we had 2 personal attendants, Frances and Rob, that were with the bridal party in the bridal suite prior to the ceremony until the end of the night. They were incredible! Frances was so helpful in the bridal suite helping me and my bridesmaids and making sure we didn’t need anything and running back and forth between the bridal suite upstairs to the room where the groom & groomsmen were. And Rob was seriously amazing from getting the keys to open the gate to the dock so we could take pictures out there, to making sure I had my favorite beer (Angry Orchard) he was just amazing! And finally, there is not one word that can describe Brenda Seekins, the leader of the entire show, because she truly is a super woman. From the very beginning, she is by your side guiding you through the entire wedding planning process. She is not only so nice, but she makes you feel like you are the only bride that she working with! She really spends so much time working with you so that you are getting the wedding of all your dreams. I made all of my centerpieces and the majority of all of our wedding decor, and the weekend before the wedding, she spent an entire afternoon, going over everything single centerpiece and piece of decor to make sure that it was all set up perfectly. She really went above and beyond when she re-adjusted her personal schedule, and came in on her day off to run my wedding rehearsal because she wanted to make sure that everything was perfect for my big day. he day of Brenda just does it ALL and somehow makes it look effortless (I will also include pictures from the ceremony). She truly is a badass boss woman! There’s a reason why she has this job, because no one else could do it as incredible as her!

ul and bright with all the windows. I didn’t want a DJ or band. I didn’t want a big dance party. This is not the room for it. I just wanted a nice luncheon with my favorite people. Nina was our coordinator and very attentive. The wait staff was excellent, unobtrusive and did their job very well. The food was a particular issue. I wanted a limited menu that my guests could choose what they wanted. I’ve never had a bad meal there but the food can make or break a special day. The food was not catered and cooked to order. It was excellent. I was not disappointed. We had such a good time that I told my husband I wanted to do it again.

e my vision for a not so serious ceremony and low key brunch wedding a success. She suggested getting married on the staircase (which has become very popular there!) during cocktail hour to keep it informal and head to the ballroom for the dancing! The space was breathtaking even if it was 4! degrees that early afternoon. She helped keep everything organized from keeping me on my toes with all my different vendors and making sure there were no loose ends. She was just so attentive during the ENTIRE process, including her full attention on the big day. She made me feel extra special and I will remember her fondly every single anniversary (whether my husband thinks it’s weird or not! Ha) She made our wedding truly spectacular.

she met everyone of his expectations (and ours)! From the planning process she answered all of our emails promtply and efficiently. She accomodated all of our requests! On the actual day of my wedding, we took pictures at a public garden, unfortunetly had a run in with some goose poop on the grass. As soon as we showed up to Venezia’s, she was waiting outside, whisked us up stairs and before we knew it she had a team, (yes A TEAM of people! ) cleaning out the stains in my dress. She pulled on a pair of gloves and started scrubbing! I was about to cut out the stains but Brenda insisted that we could get it out! And she did! You would have never known what had happened. We then had the most amazing, beautiful, delicious cocktail hour. I had TWO personal attendants who were constantly asking me what I needed/if I wanted a drink! It did not stop at cocktail hour, it continued through the night! All night they were asking me if I had enough to eat, asking me if they could warm up my food (as we were saying hi to people during dinner). If I asked for something they stopped what they were doing to do it for me. We felt like absolute royalty all night! Before we were introduced, Brenda hyped up my whole bridal party. She was SO accomodating to all of our needs. She truly felt like a family member the day of the wedding. And the food! The food was absolutely to die for. ALL OF IT. There was not one bad thing about the food! From the h’ordeuves to the venetian dessert table, absolutely delicious. My guests were SO impressed with all of it. Not to mention that they were constantly checking in with my parents to make sure they were pleased. We had the most perfect day thanks to Brenda and the staff at Venezias! The staff, the view, the food, the venue was sublime! Highly recommend Venezias!

The room captains made sure my husband, family, and guests were all well taken care of- including 3rd helpings of a pasta dish for one guest. While many venues offer beautiful views and ambiance, Venezia stands out for its team approach to deliver wonderful food, pay attention to every detail, and facilitate an unforgettable evening!

They were even patient with my hot headed, Italian husband! If you are looking for a Boston location on the water, there is no better value! Venezia was recommended to me and I would recommend it as well!

Oh my gosh where do we even begin? This venue was the best thing we discovered. Within the first 5 minutes of walking into this place we knew it was where I wanted to hold our wedding. Brenda Seekins was by far the most helpful, attentive perso...
n and we were so lucky to have her assisting us throughout planning. She would quickly respond to emails whenever we had questions and was always pleasant and professional. She paid particular attention to details which was a huge concern for us (and my mother). My mother was practically in tears (happy tears!) when she saw how beautiful everything turned out. Even when our guests showed up an hour before the ceremony was supposed to start, Brenda remained calm and took care of everything. Our room captains (Robert, Frances, David, and Jose) made us feel like royalty during our reception and cocktail hour. We also had our ceremony on site and it was such a great decision because the floor to ceiling windows gave our guests a beautiful view of the water and the city as we exchanged our vows. You cannot go wrong having your wedding here. It was the best day of our lives and we owe it all to the wonderful staff at Venezia!

us through the entire wedding process, from originally visiting the property to the night of the big day. I cannot say enough about Brenda's attention to detail, organization, and professionalism, all proven when it counts the most, the night of the wedding, everything went off without a hitch and I sincerely believe it is because of Brenda's hard work and preperation. As far as the Ballroom, it was breathtaking, and the views of the Boston skyline from inside the room and on the large beautifully furnished deck were amazing. Food - out of this world, I have been to alot of weddings over the years, including some at extremely high end venues and It is my opinion that these venues pale in comparison to Venzia. Lastly Brenda's staff the night of the event were extremely professional, helpful, and attentive.....they were there when you needed them with any request. I would highly recomend Venezia if you are looking to get married in the Boston area, you really can't beat the views, food, service, and value. Thank you for making our day perfect!
