About JW Marriott Venice Resort & Spa
JW Marriott Venice is the island wedding of the lagoon: a whole private island twenty minutes by boat from St Mark's, a former church for the ceremony, gardens facing the city and the Venezia ballroom for 220 at rounds — 12 event rooms and 1,124 sq m on Marriott's chart. For an Indian family of 100 to 220 that wants Venice without Venice's crowds, and a boat arrival for every guest, it is the address.
Panigrahana designs the church and the gardens for the ceremony, the Venezia for a wide stage, and plans the water taxis as a function of their own.
