Weddings and honeymoons
Not many hotels have their own consecrated Roman Catholic
churches, but the San Clemente Palace does--and it's more impressive than any
Las Vegas wedding chapel, as you can see in the accompanying photos.
The
Chiesa di San Clemente can accommodate up to 150 guests for a religious wedding
or church blessing. The paved square in front of the church is available for
open-air receptions or weddings; it can hold 160 guests for cocktails or 100 at
tables facing the lagoon. Indoor receptions can be staged in the hotel's events
rooms and restaurants, including one room with a dance floor and space for 250
seated guests. The hotel can handle all arrangements, including flowers, a
photographer, and other services.
The
San Clemente Palace also has a "Venetian Honeymoon" package for newlyweds that
includes three nights in the hotel, fresh fruit and Spumante Brut on arrival, a
candlelit dinner in the hotel's Ca' de Frati restaurant, another dinner at the
Antico Martini restaurant in Venice,
a gondola promenade, spa treatments, and other perks. Rates vary by season and
room type.
Tip: See our article,
A Venice Wedding, for advice and links to
legal resources. Also read Honeymoon in Venice
for hints on romantic sightseeing in the city and the lagoon.
