“We could not have dreamed of a better location to begin our forever story. It was so nice having everything in one location from the wedding rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception, morning after brunch for out of town guests and guestrooms to accommodate our out of town family and wedding party. Everything was PERFECT! Oh and the FOOD! Oh my! Our guests are still raving! We approached wedding planning with a strict budget and the campus of Shattuck St. Mary's exceeded our expectations in every way possible. Actually, Amy, Rachel, and team blew every expectation out of the water! We could not be happier.”

“Our wedding at Le Venerè was truly a dream come true. From the moment we first saw the venue, we knew it was something incredibly special, and it ended up being everything we could have hoped for and more. The space itself is absolutely STUNNING. The chandeliers, the architecture, the elegance of the entire venue — it created the most beautiful and romantic atmosphere for our wedding day. We wanted a venue that felt timeless, elegant, and magical, and Le Venerè was exactly that. Our guests could not stop talking about how gorgeous it was! One of our favorite things about Le Venerè was how perfectly the space flowed throughout the entire day. We were able to have our ceremony there, transition seamlessly into cocktail hour, and then move into dinner and dancing without ever losing the magic of the space. Every part of the day felt distinct while still feeling cohesive, and we loved that our guests were able to experience everything the venue had to offer. Our ceremony was beautiful, cocktail hour felt so elegant, dinner was absolutely magical under the chandeliers, and then the space transformed into the perfect place to celebrate and dance the night away. It truly gave us everything we wanted for our wedding in one incredible location. Le Venerè will always hold such a special place in our hearts because it was the setting where we officially began our marriage and created some of our favorite memories together. When we look back at our wedding photos, we are still blown away by how beautiful everything was. If you're looking for a wedding venue that feels romantic, elegant, timeless, and completely unforgettable, we cannot recommend Le Venerè enough. It was our absolute dream venue, and we are so grateful that we got to celebrate one of the most important days of our lives there.”
