In the heart of the Venice Lagoon, Malamocco is a village that enchants with its authenticity and timeless charm: quiet alleyways, silent canals, and evocative views far from the hustle and bustle of the most famous tourist destinations. With around one thousand inhabitants, it preserves traces of its ancient history and offers an intimate and refined setting for celebrations that prioritize closeness and a slow-paced atmosphere. Here, time slows down, the landscape becomes an integral part of the experience, and your wedding unfolds like a scene from another era.
Malamocco: History, Charm, and Exclusive Settings
Malamocco is one of the most distinctive places in the southern lagoon, a site of ancient settlements where historical memory is still alive in its squares and historic buildings. Its atmosphere—perfect for photo shoots, convivial moments, and leisurely walks with guests—turns every celebration into a truly memorable event.
For the ceremony, you can choose from venues of great symbolic and historical value:
• the Church of Santa Maria Assunta, with interiors rich in history and works of art, ideal for an intimate and evocative religious ceremony;
• Palazzo Persico (Palazzo Pretorio), a 14th-century building in the heart of the village, home to civil ceremonies and distinguished by elegant and refined interiors.
These options allow you to experience every phase of the day fully immersed in a historic setting of great prestige and charm.
