Venezia Waterfront Banquet Facility

licious and everyone was raving about it.

Additionally, it was a pleasure working with Nina Potenti to help us organize the details of our special day. We highly recommend Venezia!

question was unimportant. She made everything come to life and pretty much made whatever I asked for work. Our guests are still raving about the beautiful venue and the incedible food and our wedding was a month ago! The steaks actually cut with a butter knife and were HUGE.. people couldn't finish which is unheard of at a wedding. We truly felt like royalty the entire time from the moment we walked into the venue we had butler service catering to our every food and drink need. The venue just worked it was elegant but had a huge dance floor. People could get air outside and look at the beautiful Boston skyline... seriously it was a dream for us and the guests. We cannot wait to spend every anniversary at our favorite restaurant remembering the best day of our lives at the Venezia...also highly recommend having your bridal shower across the lot at Boston Winery the owners are incredible and so kind.

rything so easy and straightforward. My wedding was so beautiful, the food was great, and I didn't have a care in the world. The room captain at my wedding could not have been nicer and made sure we were well-fed and always had a drink in our hands. Every staff member was outstanding.

r, and it was the perfect space for guests to mingle and eat and drink. The piano was perfect for the band we had hired and the setup worked so well for what we were looking for. We then had our dinner in the ballroom which is huge and can be set up in so many ways. We lucked out and had perfect weather so our guests were also able to take advantage of the outside deck which has lovely views of the water and city skyline. We also got some great sunset photos on the dock in the back as well. Staff - First off, working with Jen was the best planning experience. She helped us every step of the way and made planning seamless and fun. The packages had everything we were looking for and the venue was so flexible in allowing us to make a few changes/updates. The staff day of was also amazing. They were friendly and professional and really made sure that guests were taken care of. Food – I have eaten at Venezia before and loved the food. I was so impressed that they were able to maintain the quality when producing an amount of food to feed about 140 guests. The options for weddings are amazing and we couldn’t have been happier. Our guests keep commenting on the wedding day and were so wildly impressed with Venezia! We cannot recommend this space more for any event.

their grand stair case, had cocktail hour in the foyer, and the reception in a beautiful ball room. The wait staff was amazing and so attentive. Jen, who helped us to coordinate planning, made everything so easy for us. We were fortunate to have a beautiful night weather-wise and sunset-wise, guests were able to enjoy that on the deck which had french doors that opened from inside the ball room. Food was delicious, as were the drinks! Could not recommend more, you will not be disappointed!

the day and throughout the reception. Their staff is extremely prepared, professional, and all around takes care of everything for you! All of our guests kept commenting on how beautiful the venue was with the sunset views on the patio as well as the delicious food (and awesome desserts). Their services are impeccable and everyone was so kind and accommodating the entire time. Even when we went to pick up our personal items in the days following the wedding, all I had to do was pull up to the venue and Jose and the other staff had packed everything up and even put it in our car for us. Thank you Nina, Jose, and the rest of the Venezia staff for making our wedding a beautiful, wonderful experience!

helping us plan it.We were thrilled and would highly recommend!

been more happier with and the best part about it was all the love we received from our families. Our brunch menu for the venue set up perfect and the staff was impeccable. Every single server and bartender assisted us in such a wonderful manner and again, we could not be happier for the way it took place. COVID has been tough on us these past 2 years and this was the greatest way to start our union into marriage together! I look forward to booking with them again in the future! Best, Margarita

sy access to the banquet hall, and the cost was affordable. The wedding staff was just amazing from start to finish. Thank you Nina for answering all of my questions, being patient, professional, and insightful. On the day of the wedding all the help, servers, and bartenders were helpful. The food display was gorgeous. Everyone is still talking about the wedding!

ts and there were many due to COVID. Our guest list drastically dropped during the week leading up to our wedding and I can't thank Nina and her team for all the work they did to accommodate for that. We asked all of our guests to wear masks during our ceremony and the Venezia team made sure our supply of masks was upfront and center when folks walked in. We even asked to keep the doors to the deck open a bit to increase airflow and they did that without even a blink of an eye! Nina was so attentive and responsive! She made our special day everything we could have ever imagined! The decor of this venue at Christmas time is also so stunning!!! On the day of the wedding the staff, food, and venue were impeccable! We had two attendants for the whole night that made sure we were well taken care of and they worked so hard! We have received so many compliments that this was one of the best weddings anyone had ever been to!

cess. The place is absolutely beautiful. Our guests RAVED about the food, the dessert, and the service. Our own attendants never left us waiting for a second for food/drink, I felt like royalty. The location with ample parking is perfect. If I could do it again, I’d do it there in a heartbeat with not a single regret.

rked closely with our vendors, had great communication, was well organized, and ensured that everything went as planned on our big day. The entire staff at Venezia were exceptional. They truly went above and beyond to make our wedding as special as we had imagined. Our personal attendants made sure we and our parents never had to ask for a drink or hors d'oeuvres, they showed my husband how to carry the train of the wedding dress, and they opened the ballroom doors for our grand reception entrance on the exact right note of our song. The food and drinks were superb and the setting at Venezia, with the beautiful ballroom and deck overlooking the ocean, cannot be beat! Our guests (and we) were stunned by the venue and the service. Thank you Venezia for making our wedding an absolute dream!

dding coordinator Nina Potenti, as I planned out my day, to the actual wedding day where everything was perfect and how I envisioned it. Even on my most stressful moments of wedding planning Nina was on point and made sure to put me at ease. Recently married on 6/26/2021 - Venezia were complete pros! All of the staff at Venezia took care of the smallest details with a smile, they helped to ensure my husband and I were both happy and that we were taken care of. A specific moment that came to mind was when I was walking to the pier for pictures, there was a small puddle and the staff member pointed it out, took my bouquet, made sure my husband helped me with my dress so that I wouldn’t get dress ruined. I mean these small details left me feeling like I was truly important on what was one of our most memorable days! Oh and the food… AMAZING! Absolutely delicious, the appetizers, the brunch feast… all our guests were pleased! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to the team at Venezia- my husband and I could not have chosen a better place to celebrate our union.

table was a huge it! I can not thank Nina and staff for all the help in making the day so special. The views on the water, the ballroom, the ceremony and everything was perfect! I would highly recommend!

ption at the Venezia. Our ceremony was slightly unique in being that it took place on the stairs in the foyer, followed by a cocktail hour in the foyer, and then a reception in the main ballroom ending at 1am. I don’t even know where to start with how amazing EVERYTHING at the Venezia was and I want to make sure I include everything! Venue: The Venezia is absolutely beautiful, from its location on the harbor overlooking Boston’s skyline, to the stunning white marble foyer with its beautiful grand staircase, to the elegant ballroom that overlooks the harbor with floor to ceiling windows. Everything about this venue is truly breathtaking! Food: The food is amazing. I have had so many guests that are still calling and telling me how amazing the food was. Our photography (Mark Davidson Photography) did a really great job of capturing some really great shots of the incredible food displays that Venezia put out and I will attach them to this review. Everything was delicious. Service: I have also had so many guests calling me telling how incredible the service was at the Venezia. So many guests have commented on how attentive the staff was to everything, they never felt like they were looking around to find someone to help them. I had a few guests that are actually in the catering/event field and they were among the ones commenting about how impressed they were with the service they received at the Venezia. The day of, we had 2 personal attendants, Frances and Rob, that were with the bridal party in the bridal suite prior to the ceremony until the end of the night. They were incredible! Frances was so helpful in the bridal suite helping me and my bridesmaids and making sure we didn’t need anything and running back and forth between the bridal suite upstairs to the room where the groom & groomsmen were. And Rob was seriously amazing from getting the keys to open the gate to the dock so we could take pictures out there, to making sure I had my favorite beer (Angry Orchard) he was just amazing! And finally, there is not one word that can describe Brenda Seekins, the leader of the entire show, because she truly is a super woman. From the very beginning, she is by your side guiding you through the entire wedding planning process. She is not only so nice, but she makes you feel like you are the only bride that she working with! She really spends so much time working with you so that you are getting the wedding of all your dreams. I made all of my centerpieces and the majority of all of our wedding decor, and the weekend before the wedding, she spent an entire afternoon, going over everything single centerpiece and piece of decor to make sure that it was all set up perfectly. She really went above and beyond when she re-adjusted her personal schedule, and came in on her day off to run my wedding rehearsal because she wanted to make sure that everything was perfect for my big day. he day of Brenda just does it ALL and somehow makes it look effortless (I will also include pictures from the ceremony). She truly is a badass boss woman! There’s a reason why she has this job, because no one else could do it as incredible as her!

the dining rooms that could seat up to 100. The room was beautiful and bright with all the windows. I didn’t want a DJ or band. I didn’t want a big dance party. This is not the room for it. I just wanted a nice luncheon with my favorite people. Nina was our coordinator and very attentive. The wait staff was excellent, unobtrusive and did their job very well. The food was a particular issue. I wanted a limited menu that my guests could choose what they wanted. I’ve never had a bad meal there but the food can make or break a special day. The food was not catered and cooked to order. It was excellent. I was not disappointed. We had such a good time that I told my husband I wanted to do it again.

. She was so fantastic during the entire process. She helped make my vision for a not so serious ceremony and low key brunch wedding a success. She suggested getting married on the staircase (which has become very popular there!) during cocktail hour to keep it informal and head to the ballroom for the dancing! The space was breathtaking even if it was 4! degrees that early afternoon. She helped keep everything organized from keeping me on my toes with all my different vendors and making sure there were no loose ends. She was just so attentive during the ENTIRE process, including her full attention on the big day. She made me feel extra special and I will remember her fondly every single anniversary (whether my husband thinks it’s weird or not! Ha) She made our wedding truly spectacular.

ns the event coordinator really knows her stuff and helped everything go smoothly - we would have been lost without her ! I would highly recommend this venue to any couple looking to plan an amazing wedding!

elessly to ensure that every aspect of the wedding was magical. She transformed the venue in to a lounge like atmosphere with a winter wonderland theme. It was simply gorgeous and her efforts exceeded all of our expectations. In addition ,the cuisine was superb, the servers attentive and kind and the desserts simply divine. We had the utmost faith in Brenda’s ability from the start but the finished product was beyond our wildest dreams, perfection ! Thank you Brenda and your entire Venezia catering staff for a job well done. We applaud you and thank you from the bottom of our hearts...

t we had. I have an intense, very italian/traditional father and she met everyone of his expectations (and ours)! From the planning process she answered all of our emails promtply and efficiently. She accomodated all of our requests! On the actual day of my wedding, we took pictures at a public garden, unfortunetly had a run in with some goose poop on the grass. As soon as we showed up to Venezia’s, she was waiting outside, whisked us up stairs and before we knew it she had a team, (yes A TEAM of people! ) cleaning out the stains in my dress. She pulled on a pair of gloves and started scrubbing! I was about to cut out the stains but Brenda insisted that we could get it out! And she did! You would have never known what had happened. We then had the most amazing, beautiful, delicious cocktail hour. I had TWO personal attendants who were constantly asking me what I needed/if I wanted a drink! It did not stop at cocktail hour, it continued through the night! All night they were asking me if I had enough to eat, asking me if they could warm up my food (as we were saying hi to people during dinner). If I asked for something they stopped what they were doing to do it for me. We felt like absolute royalty all night! Before we were introduced, Brenda hyped up my whole bridal party. She was SO accomodating to all of our needs. She truly felt like a family member the day of the wedding. And the food! The food was absolutely to die for. ALL OF IT. There was not one bad thing about the food! From the h’ordeuves to the venetian dessert table, absolutely delicious. My guests were SO impressed with all of it. Not to mention that they were constantly checking in with my parents to make sure they were pleased. We had the most perfect day thanks to Brenda and the staff at Venezias! The staff, the view, the food, the venue was sublime! Highly recommend Venezias!

ensure that every detail was taken care of. The staff day of was incredible and everyone said it was the best wedding they’ve been to. Thank you so much!!! Highly recommend this venue!

hour were amazing and really helped us make sure we ate a little something, had something to drink, and relax before the reception began. My stomach was a little upset during dinner, and the staff was so attentive making sure I felt okay and didn't need anything. Brenda was amazing throughout the entire process (aka 13 months) answering all of our endless emails, walking us through how the day would go, and even let me drop things off days before the wedding so I could have those couple of days to relax and enjoy. I couldn't recommend the venue enough, you truly can't go wrong. Whether you go with the least expensive package or indulge, the food is excellence and the service is without compare.

tely beautiful being located on the water with the Boston skyline in the background. When it came time to book we met with Brenda Seekins who was very accommodating to our needs. She was there for us through the year and a half engagment to help with anything we needed. It was nice to have her there to make everything a little less stressful. The ambience of the venue was absolutely gorgeous . We chose to have our nuptials and reception there. Our ceremony was on the stairs in the main entrance which made it feel more intimate. The food was incredible, which we already knew. It is 3 months now since the wedding and our guest are still talking about how delicious the food was. Also they can not stop talking about how elegant and breath taking our reception was. If you are looking for the perfect place to start as husband and wife, we could not think of a better place. The staff, the food and venue are amazing. It was the best night of our lives.

mely helpful and attentive. The view from the deck is gorgeous. And all this in Boston and at an amazing value! YOU WILL NOT FIND ANOTHER VENUE ANYWHERE NEAR THIS AREA THATS THIS NICE WITH THESE PRICES!! Book here! Seriously!

general wedding tips. While initially I was slightly disappointed when given restrictions in details of the wedding, I realize it is because Brenda's 20+ years of experience allow her to know what will work or not on the actual day of the wedding. Thanks to her, the night of the wedding ran smoothly without a flaw! The food at the venue was amazing- one guest went so far as to say it's the best food he's ever had at a wedding! The room captains made sure my husband, family, and guests were all well taken care of- including 3rd helpings of a pasta dish for one guest. While many venues offer beautiful views and ambiance, Venezia stands out for its team approach to deliver wonderful food, pay attention to every detail, and facilitate an unforgettable evening! Thanks!

ct! Yummy food and stunning views inside and out!

crafty and have your wedding planned on Pinterest, this may not be the place for you. There are somethings you need to use their vendors for and they cost extra, but A LOT is included. Our guests continue to compliment on how gorgeous Venezia was for our wedding. Brenda helped me reel it in a few times when my brain got a little ahead of itself. She was also there to save the day when the bridesmaids had trouble with my bustle... Greatly appreciated! They were even patient with my hot headed, Italian husband! If you are looking for a Boston location on the water, there is no better value! Venezia was recommended to me and I would recommend it as well!

ing. Brenda Seekins was by far the most helpful, attentive person and we were so lucky to have her assisting us throughout planning. She would quickly respond to emails whenever we had questions and was always pleasant and professional. She paid particular attention to details which was a huge concern for us (and my mother). My mother was practically in tears (happy tears!) when she saw how beautiful everything turned out. Even when our guests showed up an hour before the ceremony was supposed to start, Brenda remained calm and took care of everything. Our room captains (Robert, Frances, David, and Jose) made us feel like royalty during our reception and cocktail hour. We also had our ceremony on site and it was such a great decision because the floor to ceiling windows gave our guests a beautiful view of the water and the city as we exchanged our vows. You cannot go wrong having your wedding here. It was the best day of our lives and we owe it all to the wonderful staff at Venezia!

that helped make our wedding day so special. The day we met Brenda we were treated like family and we cannot express just how wonderful it was to work with her. The entire space was decorated so beautifully and carried the charm and elegance we were looking for. Our guests are still talking about how delicious the food was and were pleasantly surprised with the grand Viennese Dessert table (highly recommended), . We hope every couple is able to feel the way we did our on big day. You will not be disappointed by the Venezia!

eep commenting how wonderful the wedding was

owing things to say. Totally recommend!

d everything in their power to make the day exactly how I wanted it. The food was wonderful- my guests could not say enough about how good it was. I was so happy with the food options and the service that night. My day was a dream come true and I couldn't think of a better place to have a wedding.

to the restaurant every year on our anniversary ! All our guests raved about the food , the ballroom and the details . They say it was the best wedding they have ever been too! We couldn't of done it without Brenda and her awesome team! Our room captain and our 2 attendants gave us more than amazing service! They made sure we were taken care of from the minute we stepped off the bus until we walked out the door when our reception was over. All brides & grooms to be need to check this place out you will not be disappointed.

me to make sure I was getting what I wanted and helped me to stay on budget. The food was absolutely delicious (I highly recommend the massed potato bar!) and the room was decorated beautifully. The night of my event, the room captain, Dave, and made it so I didn't have to worry about a thing. He even made sure I remembered to eat! If you are looking for a Boston wedding location, you should consider the Venezia for your venue, you get a beautiful venue with a Boston view at an affordable price!

ready at our table. The food was absolutely delicious. Everything started on time, and ran smoothly, and we didn't have to worry about anything! The only thing that could be improved was communication leading up to the wedding.

ne of the places- and we stopped looking after we saw the room and met Brenda! Venezia is such an elegant and classic looking ballroom- with the rustic brick outside. With the small gazebo and dock and back deck- the opportunities for outdoor photos were great. The difference from the harsh outside to the marble and classic inside were what we were looking for!! Brenda made our wedding planning and wedding day flawless!!! She was with us all the way- with making it work with our budget to saying goodbye to us as we left our reception! I cant think of a more perfect venue for our wedding- I am so glad to have had it at Venezia!!! We cant wait to go back to the restaurant side and celebrate our 1 year anniversary! Thank you!!!

a wonderful time.

ception. Brenda Seekins was terrific. She was always calm, cheerful and upbeat. Our guests commented on how beautiful the room was, the view, how lovely the tables looked, etc. The bridal show that Brenda organizes for brides-to-be was a wonderful way to connect with some of the best vendors in the area.

p in the area I already knew the food was amazing at the restaurant, and the banquet facility did not disappoint in the slightest. The event coordinator, Brenda, was extremely helpful and sweet from Day 1 of the process. She was there to greet us off the limo and laid out the whole plan from start to finish so we wouldn't have to wonder what to do. Her staff was incredibly attentive to my husband and I and as far as I know we did not have one problem. Our guests were raving about their time at the wedding, everything from the food to the location. Overall it was a very pleasant experience and I would recommended this venue to everyone!

been to and I agree! (Not because it was my wedding, but it really exceeded my own expectations). The food was also amazing, I wish I could've brought it all home. If I could do my wedding over I would do it the exact same way, I really appreciate all the hard work they put into my big day and dedication they have for what they do! Brenda (the manager) was amazing and really helpful! I truly recommend this venue.

attentive, polite and professional. They treated me, my husband, our families and bridal party like royalty. They truly went above and beyond for us. The venue itself is classic and elegant and has neutral decor, with plenty of space for our 200 guests to eat and dance comfortably. The view of Boston is SPECTACULAR! I can't say enough about the food. People are STILL complimenting it. Absolutely delicious. You can make your menu very simple or you can go for multiple courses. Either way, no one is going home hungry! I would highly reccommend Venezia and I wish I could do my wedding day all over again because they made it so special for me and my husband and our families.

a thing! Brenda Seekins coordinated and managed the entire event without skipping a beat. She had every detail under control, which made me feel so at ease. We even had attendants with us the entire evening ensuring we were fed and had a fresh drink in hand at all times! I really can't say enough about Venezia. My husband's family has been going for years because the food is excellent and we're so happy that we chose Venezia for our wedding.
