Aman Venice: Classic wedding on the Grand Canal

Gondola ride into happiness

George Clooney led the way - the Hollywood star married his Amal on 27.9.2014 at the Aman Venice in Venice. The lavish celebration took place with celebrity guests in the magnificent halls of the only Italian Aman. The guests spent the night in one of the hotel's 24 luxury suites, some of which are decorated with listed ceiling paintings and reliefs. The Alcova Tiepolo Suite is romantic with its Chinese-style living room and ceiling painting by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo from the 18th century.

Would you like to get married like this? Then you can rent the entire 16th century palazzo like the film star or stay in one of the 24 suites, which is certainly the ultimate luxury option for an overnight stay in the lagoon city. What is unique about the Aman Venice?
In addition to the location and the perfectly discreet service, the combination of the lavishly restored Venetian ambience with original furniture, mirrors, frescoes, chandeliers, paintings and wallpaper made of lace, velvet and silk with the simple, contemporary aesthetics of modern furniture, skillfully staged by interior designer Jean Michel Gathy. You will be greeted on arrival by the hotel's own boat or at the hotel jetty directly on the Grand Canal. From the reception hall with its meter-high ceilings, historical frescoes and reliefs, a curved staircase leads to the Piano Nobile with the former ballroom, which was converted by Aman into a restaurant serving Asian and Italian cuisine. The lavishly decorated Venetian Baroque ambience with ceiling paintings by the world-famous painter Giovanni Battista Tiepolo is the setting for the large wedding table.

Beforehand, perhaps a Bellini in the secluded private garden, an absolute rarity here on the canal, or in the recently redesigned bar with a view of the Grand Canal? A little time out in the historic library, a treatment in the spa in the garden building or a view from the intimate roof terrace over the rooftops of Venice to the Alps? Or, after the wedding dinner, to one of the suites with romantic arched windows, original fireplaces, bathrooms with chandeliers, silk wallpaper and fresco paintings? Do you have another wish? With an average temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and 7 hours of sunshine a day in September, the newlyweds can moor up in the hotel's own mahogany boat at the Aman Venice after the church.

Tip for the cocktail reception: The idyllic hotel garden located directly on the Grand Canal - a green rarity in the "Serenissima".
