Had the most beautiful wedding for my daughter and her husband aat the Venetian Terrace this past Saturday. Everything was arranged perfectly, Our organizer Tiffany was spectacular. The DJ was excellent. Everything flowed well from beginning to end over the 4+ hrs of the event. The Gondola rides at night were so beautiful in the canal right off the Venue. The food, pasta and salad bar, and Prime Rib was creamy and delicious. The bar service was top notch. Overall such a special event could not have gone any more perfect than it did! Thank you for all the staff, everyone was great! Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful experience at Venetian Terrace for our wedding! From start to finish, everything was seamless and beautifully done. The venue itself is stunning — full of charm and elegance, which made the perfect backdrop for our special day.

The staff was incredibly professional, attentive, and kind, making sure every detail was taken care of and that we and our guests felt comfortable throughout the event.

And the food — absolutely outstanding! Our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was. The presentation, taste, and service were all top-notch.

We’re so grateful to the entire team at Venetian Terrace for helping make our wedding day truly unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a beautiful venue with exceptional service and cuisine!

Edit: The owner called us personally and explained that a technical glitch caused the cancellation and offered to make it up to us right away. We appreciate the personal touch!

I scheduled a tour and they literally canceled and ghosted us???

I had my wedding here and I would choose Venetian terrace all over again if I could! The venue itself is gorgeous, so not a lot of extra decor is needed. And the food was AMAZING. We did not stop receiving compliments about the food! But the best thing about this place is Laura and her staff. Laura was an absolute angel and made the planning process so enjoyable. Not one detail was left out and she worked so hard to make sure everything turned out perfect. Her assistant Nicole was also a sweetheart. And although all of the servers were great, Paola kept making sure I was taken care of. Please have your event here, you will not regret it. Thank you so much for the wedding of my dreams!!!

What an amazing, wonderful, outstanding night! We had our wedding last November 2024 and my heart is still so full from an amazing night. Thank you to Laura and her team!
As far as location, we had a lot of folks coming in from out of town, so we knew we wanted something close to the airport. It was easy for our families to uber, they could walk around this little neighborhood and quickly get to restaurants, bars, places of interest, etc. That was great. Also, don't be deterred, but everytime we did wedding planning, we'd walk in, see the courtyard- mind you, it's always a Sunday afternoon when the canal was not very lively and the courtyard had dead leaves and it was cold- ok, but the night of the wedding, the entirely place was transformed. I couldn't believe it- fairly lights twinkling, right on the canal, lots and lots of activity- I can't even tell you how many people told us it felt like they were actually in Italy with the gondolas cruising by. The place itself is a perfect size for a small wedding, we had about 90 and it was just right. I honestly think if we had gone with our original number of 120, it would've felt tight.
Food was delicious. When I did the tasting, I walked away thinking ok, it's fine, but nothing home to write about. Actually, the cakes were great. But, the night of.. wow, I mean, guests LOVED the buffet, went back for seconds, thought the food was great, but the dessert bar, omg, wow, pecan tarts, that's all I can say, so good. People told me they went two and three times to this dessert bar, it was that good.
Coordination- Laura was wonderful, she is so friendly and made the whole process, which can seem very overwhelming, run smoothly. The BEST BEST thing about Venetian is that they already have all the connections in place- you need a photographer? Here's two to choose from. Food, ok. DJ, ok. Flowers, ok. Now, for me this was great, bc I had no connections and it was a very simple pick and choose. If you already have folks you want to use, this might get annoying bc for every vendor, it's an additional $175. But for me, it was perfect. Mente (photographer) and DJ Zazu were just right for what we needed.
And finally, pricing. No wedding is cheap, obviously and as you're planning, you'll definitely question your sanity, BUT, after it's all said and done, it was 100% worth it and we even thought, man, we should've paid for folks to get the gondola rides or ridden away in a gondola, but it was worth and if you choose Venetian, you won't regret it.

First of all i want to say how amazing our coordinator Laura was. She thought of details we wouldn’t have dreamed of and was ready to tackle anyone who made a scene. The Venetian in itself was beautiful during cocktail, ceremony, and especially after dark. We didn’t feel the need to add more to perfection. Our venue photographer Mente knew the canal and had some amazing spots nearby. The two biggest compliments we got were over our vests and the food. The buffet option gave guests a chance to try everything and come back for seconds of their favorites. If you’re worried people won’t dance like we did, don’t worry. The Venetian bartenders and DJ knew how to get the crowed to loosen up and dance. The whole experience from planning to end of night was simpler by going through the venue. Makes me want to get married again 👀

We recently had our wedding at Venetian Terrace. The whole process leading to and through the wedding was smooth and efficient. Laura was of great help and an excellent host. Servers were professional. Our family and friends, even the liltte ones had a great time and said it gave Italy vibes.

Green salad with fried squid... mango tea with peach... all delicious. Especially the calamari with two super delicious sauces! It's been a while since I've tasted something so delicious, crunchy and tender on the inside...highly recommended! The mega fresh salad and the delicious frozen drinks. The best thing was the attention of Julio, our waiter, who treated us like queens and gave us very good suggestions.

Where do I even start? This was the venue for my wedding and I cannot recommend it enough. It is the most GORGEOUS scenery with amazing photo ops! But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. The food is to die for (beef wellingtons were our biggest hit) and the drinks are amazing. The different options for your wedding package are all very worthwhile (GO FOR THE GONDOLA EXIT! YOU WON’T REGRET IT!)
And on top of all of that, everyone who works there is beyond sweet and amazing. Laura worked with my husband and me and helped us out so much that it makes me tear up just thinking about. Laura and all of Venetian Terrace made my special day perfect and everything I could have ever wanted.

We just had our beautiful wedding here September 1, and we were so very pleased with Laura and her team! Exceptional services and Laura went out of her way to give us an upgraded room for our bridal suite. The food was great and our guests loved it THANKS SO MUCH! Mark & Emma Brawner

Oh my goodness! Our wedding was soooo beautiful! Laura was extremely easy to work with during the planning process! On our wedding day, the Venetian Terrace staff members provided top-tier service! This is not the cheapest venue, but we feel that it was worth every penny!

The Venetian Terrace is an event venue, BUT sometimes they open up and show you to dine with a reservation. My wife and I chose to splurge a bit and enjoy our date night to the fullest: a few Old Fashions, Frenched Lamb Chops to split and each got the Beef Tenderloin.

These were possibly the best steaks we've ever had! The mushrooms and red wine glaze are PERFECT. The only thing I wasn't impressed with was the amount of asparagus that came as a side, other than that I have zero complaints.

Decor was beautiful, all of the staff was so welcoming and attentive and the bar can make some great drinks!

The Venetian Terrace stands out as a premier choice for catering events. The venue's ambiance, coupled with its wide-ranging food options and professional staff, ensures a memorable event. Laura and her team's dedication to providing an exceptional experience that caters to various budgets without compromising on quality makes it a highly recommended location for those seeking a touch of elegance and a seamless event planning process. The tortellini, in particular, come with high praise and are a must-try!
