A grand palazzo turned resort, for destination weddings on Venice's private island of San Clemente. Overlooking the Venice lagoon from its own private island, San Clemente Palace is perfect for a ceremony in its on-site church and a reception across its gardens and terraces, with the lagoon as the backdrop. It has the feel of a resort hotel built inside a historic monastery, with a spa and outdoor pool for guests staying across its 170 rooms and suites, 40 minutes from Venice airport by private water taxi. Good to know: With at least half of the wedding guests required to stay overnight, San Clemente Palace suits couples who want the whole wedding weekend to happen on the same private island.
