About The Venetian Resort

The Venetian Resort — 3355 Las Vegas Blvd South, Las Vegas, NV 89109The Venetian Resort recreates old-world Venice on the Strip, and its wedding venues lean into that theme: an Italian-inspired Wedding Chapel with garden or fountain views, a courtyard framed by Venezia Gardens, and the option to arrive by the resort’s own white wedding gondola. As Las Vegas wedding photographers, we love the range of backdrops within one property — indoor chandeliered elegance, a fountain terrace, a waterfall atrium, and St. Mark’s Square inside the Grand Canal Shoppes — all sharing consistent, warm Venetian architectural detail.

Pros

  • The Signature White Wedding Gondola lets couples take vows or portraits gliding down the indoor or outdoor canals — a backdrop unique to The Venetian on the Strip.

  • Four distinct ceremony venues (Wedding Chapel, Fountain Terrace, Pool Garden Courtyard, Waterfall Atrium) give indoor and outdoor options without leaving the property.

  • St. Mark’s Square and Venezia Gardens inside the Grand Canal Shoppes offer a painted-sky ceiling, gondola canal, and European streetscape for weather-proof portraits.

Getting Ready at The Venetian Resort

The included “Wedding Parlor” is a holding room only, with access beginning 45 minutes before the ceremony — the wedding party should arrive already dressed, since no changing facilities are provided. A separate groom’s room is not publicly listed, so we recommend planning your getting-ready coverage off-site or in a guest suite before heading to the venue.

Couple’s Session at The Venetian Resort

Venezia Gardens and its courtyard fountain, the Wedding Fountain Terrace overlooking pool gardens, the Waterfall Atrium, and St. Mark’s Square with its painted sky ceiling and indoor gondola canal all make striking backdrops — plus the resort’s indoor and outdoor gondola for on-the-water portraits found nowhere else on the Strip.

Wedding Ceremony at The Venetian Resort

Couples can choose the chandeliered indoor Wedding Chapel (garden or fountain view, up to 100 guests), the open-air Wedding Fountain Terrace (up to 40), the Pool Garden Courtyard (up to 100), or the Waterfall Atrium (up to 60). Rain relocates outdoor ceremonies to the indoor Wedding Chapel.

Wedding Reception at The Venetian Resort

Published packages at The Venetian are ceremony-focused, and a dedicated reception venue isn’t detailed publicly. Full receptions are typically arranged separately through the resort, so we recommend confirming options directly with The Venetian’s wedding team.
