We are thrilled to kick off our wedding weekend with a sunset cruise, our favorite people, and some sweet live jazz on the saxophone. Plan for light bites and beverages, Italian aperitivo style. We encourage guests to grab dinner in Venice following the cruise.

Wedding

5:30 pm

We encourage black-tie attire for this event. Please see our FAQ for further explanation.

We have selected Venissa to share with you our favorite indulgence — carefully curated food and beverage experiences. During the wine tour, we hope you enjoy learning about Native Venice, the elusive Dorona grape, and immerse yourselves in the history of the vineyard with each sip. For the cocktail hour, we are going all-in on the Italian aperitivo — wine, beer, and spritzes galore! We'll take our time for this one. Enjoy some passed appetizers, live music, and the Venetian sunset. During dinner, we hope you delight in the fresh, farm to table style of the Michelin star restaurant. We will partake in a 5-course tasting menu comprised of locally sourced ingredients, and the sommelier onsite will prepare wine pairings for each course. Please note the bar will not be open during dinner and the menu will be very seafood forward. If you have dietary restrictions, please indicate so on your RSVP.
