Aman Venice Elopement Packages

An elopement at Aman Venice is an exercise in quiet grandeur. As a 16th-century private palazzo on the Grand Canal, it offers an atmosphere of protected history and calm that is rare in the city.

The primary consideration for any event here is that Aman is both an operational hotel and a protected monument. This means there are strict rules governing timing, access, decor, and privacy to maintain the guest experience and preserve the building’s integrity.

Our role is to manage these complexities for you. We design a seamless day that respects the venue’s requirements while ensuring your elopement feels personal and unhurried.

Our packages are built around the specific logistics of working within this unique space. Aman Venice is one of several distinct venues we work with; you can compare more Venice elopement venues to find the right fit.

Important Venue Facts

Planning an elopement at Aman Venice requires understanding its specific operational realities. We manage these details so you do not have to.

  • Access: The hotel is accessible only by water. All arrivals and departures, for both you and any vendors, are via the private boat dock on the Grand Canal.
  • Timing & Exclusivity: Events are scheduled in specific time slots to minimize disruption to hotel guests. You do not get exclusive use of the entire hotel, but your ceremony space will be private for the duration of the rental.
  • Ceremony Spaces: The primary ceremony locations are the grand indoor salons, like the Piano Nobile or the Library. The two private gardens are beautiful but their use is subject to weather and availability around other hotel functions.
  • Strict Rules: As a protected historic landmark, Aman has firm rules. No open flames (candles), confetti, or adhesive materials are allowed. All external vendors and any decorative elements must be submitted for prior approval, a process we manage entirely.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does an Aman Venice elopement package start from?

Our 2027 all-inclusive packages for two at Aman Venice start from €10,720. This price covers full planning, one night's accommodation, the venue rental for your ceremony, 4 hours of photography, a symbolic celebrant, personal florals, beauty services, a private dinner for two, and a one-hour water taxi tour for portraits.

Can we bring guests?

Yes, the venue can accommodate small guest groups, typically up to 10 people for an elopement-style event. Our Guest Management extra can be added to the package, which adjusts the cost for the additional coordination and any changes to the venue fee.

Is a legal ceremony possible at Aman Venice?

Aman Venice is not licensed for legally binding civil ceremonies. The base package includes a symbolic ceremony. If you want a legal marriage, we can add our Legal Paperwork Assistance service to arrange the official civil rite at Venice’s town hall, Palazzo Cavalli, usually on the same day or the day before your symbolic celebration at Aman.

How far in advance should we book?

For Aman Venice, we recommend booking 12 to 18 months in advance. The hotel has very limited availability for private events, especially during peak season (May to September), so early planning is essential to secure your date.

Can we have our ceremony in the garden?

While the gardens are a beautiful feature, their availability for a ceremony is never guaranteed. Use is dependent on the weather and the hotel's schedule of other events. We always plan for the ceremony to be held in one of the magnificent indoor salons, which provides a reliable, climate-controlled, and equally stunning setting.
