There’s nothing I love more than some Venetian wedding photos! Located in the heart of New Jersey, The Venetian is a premier event venue famous for its elegance and charm. Here’s a look back at Ariel and Sal’s Venetian NJ wedding.

I’m so happy to share Ariel and Sal’s Venetian gorgeous wedding with you – it was so much FUN! I loved seeing so many friends and family members surrounding these two with love.

Planning a Venetian wedding? A few things I’d suggest: the ballroom’s huge crystal chandelier and curved balcony are the showpiece, so ask for a photo of the room once it’s set and before guests walk in. The sweeping staircase makes a lovely backdrop for your first dance and parent dances. If you’re marrying in a church first, plan a stop somewhere green on the way, because a big bridal party like Ariel and Sal’s fits easily on an open lawn under the trees.
