Venice Lagoon Islands: Wedding Guides
Guides to weddings and photoshoots on the islands of the Venice lagoon — Burano, Murano, Torcello, Lido, Giudecca and island resorts.
In short
In brief
The Venice lagoon islands offer what the historic centre can't: space, gardens and quiet. Burano is for colour, Torcello for wild calm, Murano for glass, the Lido for beaches and island resorts for private celebrations.
About these guides
These guides look beyond the historic centre. Venice wedding venues includes the island resorts, and each island has its own page: Burano, Murano, Torcello, Lido and Giudecca. Island resorts such as San Clemente Palace are reached by private boat, which is part of the experience — and of the photos.
