An aristocratic Venetian residence in the heart of Veneto
Originally built as a fortified residence, Villa Arvedi was transformed during the 17th century into the breathtaking Venetian landmark seen today.

Wedding ceremonies and grand receptions
Ceremonies in the Italian gardens
Villa Arvedi is one of the rare historical properties in the region authorized to host both legally binding civil ceremonies and personalized symbolic weddings. Couples can exchange their vows surrounded by meticulously manicured Italianate gardens, featuring geometric hedges and ancient statues that provide a cinematic backdrop for your ceremony and welcome cocktails.
Frescoed reception halls: Salone dei Cesari and Salone dei Titani
For your gala dinner, the villa opens its doors to two magnificent reception halls:
- Salone dei Cesari: a majestic ballroom adorned with dramatic historical frescoes, comfortably seating up to 170 guests for a refined sit-down dinner.
- Salone dei Titani: an equally impressive hall characterized by monumental artwork and high ceilings, also accommodating up to 170 seated guests.
Gastronomy, music and event logistics
Bespoke catering freedom
To ensure your wedding menu reflects your exact culinary preferences, Villa Arvedi operates on a flexible catering model.

Music and late-night party curfews

- Outdoor Music: live music and garden entertainment permitted until 11:30 PM.
