The most recognised bridge in the world
The Rialto Bridge is Venice's most iconic landmark, a single white marble arch spanning the Canal Grande at its narrowest point, flanked by colonnaded arcades and watched over by centuries of history. Proposing here connects your love story to one of the most storied locations on earth.
The Rialto carries an emotional weight that is hard to articulate. The same stones that Casanova walked, that merchants crossed for a thousand years of trade, that appear in countless paintings and poems, standing at the apex of this bridge with the Canal Grande spreading out below you, asking the most important question of your life, is a moment of pure, historic romance.
We know exactly how to make the Rialto yours
The Rialto is busiest during the day, so our planners specialise in dawn proposals (before 7:30am) when the bridge belongs almost entirely to you and the light on the Canal Grande is at its most beautiful. We position the photographer at canal level for the definitive shot: two people at the apex of history, the city spread below them.
We can also arrange a private gondola to pass beneath the bridge exactly as you propose, the gondolier timed to the moment, creating an image that photographs like a scene from a film. Flowers, candles on the bridge steps, and champagne waiting at a nearby caffè complete the experience.
