Venice's N°1 Proposal Platform
Propose on the Canal Grande in Venice
Venice's grandest waterway, lined with magnificent palaces, alive with gondolas and vaporetti, the most spectacular urban canal in the world.

“The most magical evening. Venice was the perfect backdrop for our moment”

The greatest street in the world
Napoleon called it the most beautiful street in the world, and after five centuries, nothing has changed. The Canal Grande cuts through the heart of Venice for nearly four kilometres, lined on both sides by the palaces of merchants, nobles, and doges whose ambitions built one of history's greatest civilisations. Proposing here places your love story in the most extraordinary setting humanity has ever created.
Whether you propose from a private gondola gliding along the canal's historic banks, from a palazzo terrace overlooking the water, or from a water taxi arriving at a decorated private dock, the Canal Grande as your backdrop transforms your most personal moment into something genuinely cinematic.
We know every palazzo, every dock, every perfect view
Our planners have exclusive access to private palazzo terraces and docks along the Canal Grande that are not open to the public. We position every element of your proposal to frame the canal perfectly, the curve of the water, the facades of the Ca' d'Oro, the Rialto arch silhouetted in the distance.
From a simple, beautiful sunrise moment on an empty canal bank to an elaborate gondola serenade with musicians and photographers, we create the Canal Grande proposal you have been imagining.
