Venice Wedding Proposal: Ideas and Tips
Venice and its Lagoon are a true paradise filled with enchanting places.
Which element do you want to use to characterize your request: WATER, LAND or SKY?
If you choose Water, you'll be spoiled for the choice of the ideal boat... and yes, there is not only the gondola! Do you want to stay in the rios of the city center or navigate on the waters of the lagoon and the unknown islands that surround it?
Maybe water attracts you, but you prefer to keep your feet on Land. In this case, a romantic place with a view of the canals could be the ideal compromise! If, on the other hand, you are passionate about art and history, you might choose an historic palace.
If you wish to connect with the Sky for this memorable moment, then you can choose an "enchanting scale" or a famous venetian terrace overlooking the rooftops of the city (altana).

Wedding Proposal among Venetian canals and lagoon
From romantic whispers of love amongst the canals aboard a gondola, to the elegant and iconic style of a water taxi; from the authentic charm of the bragozzi, which tell tales of fishermen, to the thrill of a sailing boat cutting through the waves, right through to the luxury of an exclusive yacht. In Venice, you can choose from a wide range of options to experience a marriage proposal amidst the water, sky and land of this enchanting floating city.
Water taxi Proposal on Venice canals
The water taxi, along with the gondola, is one of Venice’s most iconic boats. During the tour, we’ll arrange for you to propose on the island of San Giorgio, with a view over Venice.
The tour lasts about 1 hour. It includes a tour guide and a photography service. You can also personalise the package with a bottle of Prosecco and a bouquet of flowers.
The iconic gondola proposal
Definitely, the most iconic wedding proposal. You will declare your love aboard the typical gondola, in the middle of the canals of the city center, in the setting of splendid palaces.
You can choose between a 30-minute or 1-hour tour. On board, you can request a bouquet of flowers, a photo shoot, musicians, and... the long-awaited question that appears written on a bridge.
Wedding proposal in bragozzo
The traditional boat, used by fishermen to move around the lagoon thanks to its flat bottom. You will sail off the historic center admiring the Venice skyline at sunset.
The bragozzo tour lasts about 2 hours and includes a passage in the San Marco basin in front of the Doge's Palace. You can request an aperitif on board, a bouquet of flowers, the presence of a professional photographer and musicians.
Choose the Sailboat for a romantic proposal
The sailboat is the boat that best connects water and sky. On board, you will listen to the breath of the lagoon as you sail among Venice, Murano and Burano in front of a unique panorama in the world.
The sailing trip can last 2 hours and include an aperitif or about 3 hours and include a fish dinner on board. Choosing the tour with dinner you can then also add an overnight stay on board at anchor in Venice.
Come aboard an exclusive yacht for a VIP proposal
If, as well as the beauty of the lagoon, you’re looking for a high standard of comfort and amenities, this iconic yacht is the one for you. You’ll be able to admire the beauty of Venice and its lagoon from the water in complete relaxation.
