In brief
Winter is Venice's quietest season: sunrises around 7:30am are easy to reach, the streets are emptiest of the year and fog creates unique images. Plan for cold, short days and the chance of acqua alta, with a wet-weather route ready.
These guides help you plan a Venice wedding between November and February. Start with the winter wedding in Venice guide, then read about acqua alta and weddings — what high tide really means, how forecasts work and why it can make beautiful photos. For a small, atmospheric day, a winter elopement is one of the best ways to see the city at its most romantic.
