The event for wedding professionals open to newlyweds.
“Getting married in Venice and beyond … with us” is back again this year, the event created by Donatella Mola and Wladimiro Speranzoni which puts professionals in the wedding sector in contact with over thirty carefully selected and specializing in weddings and events. The event, of which Excellence Magazine is a media partner, has reached its 28th edition and will open its doors on Friday, November 29th and Saturday, November 30th in the Scuola Grande San Giovanni Evangelista.
There will be two days full of events dedicated to meetings with professionals and the best companies in the Venetian panorama. During the morning of Friday and Saturday the Scuola Grande San Giovanni Evangelista will host B2B meetings while in the afternoon tours of the most beautiful and important Venetian locations will be organised; followed by seminars and workshops, fashion shows and fashion shows and in the evening there will be a convivial moment with a DJ set.
Specifically, Friday, November 29th will be entirely dedicated to professionals in the sector who will be able to register for the event for free via the appropriate form on the website www.sposarsavenezia.it and will see the participation of illustrious guests such as Laura D’Ambrosio (Wedding Division Manager of Convention Bureau Italia), while Saturday will also be open to future spouses without the need for accreditation. The Councilor for Tourism of the Municipality of Venice, Simone Venturini, will also be present.
“We are very proud that this event has grown so much in recent years – say Wladimiro Speranzoni and Donatella Mola – We have come a long way, starting from a small group of five entrepreneurs and arriving at around thirty companies in the Venetian area which are synonymous with quality and professionalism. Entrepreneurs who self-finance the event, without any profit and with charitable purposes. Today more than ever it is necessary to network between different companies, and the objective of Getting Married in Venice and not only with us is precisely to create new forms of cooperation that give rise to innovative and surprising synergies.”
“Getting married in Venice grows year after year and has proven in each edition to be a fundamental point of reference for couples who wish to write their own future – comments the Venice Tourism Councilor, Simone Venturini – As an Administration we are working in synergy with organizers and operators to strengthen the wedding supply chain in our city in the belief that Venice, and its entire metropolitan area, constitute an exceptional setting thanks to that mix of culture, beauty, art and food and wine that only our territory knows how to give. This has undoubted positive effects on economic activities and jobs.”
“Venice is also increasingly establishing itself as a destination for high-end events, which have a long-term plan and which bring a significant impact on the economic fabric. This year is the 28th edition of an event that brings together professionals in the sector, creating synergy between all the skills that Venice offers – adds the operational director of Vela spa, Fabrizio D’Oria – For this reason, Vela joins the Municipality of Venice to promote the realities that are able to enhance Venice as a prestigious destination but also to keep alive and develop an economic activity that originates from the local tradition of quality craftsmanship and centuries-old “know-how”. A heritage of knowledge and culture that passes and is handed down, as well as through dedicated events such as the recent Salone dell’Alto Artigianato Italiano which is already working on its third edition at the Arsenale, also thanks to this type of event”.
This year too, the strong points of the event are the tours of the most beautiful and important Venetian locations, which will be held in the early afternoon of Friday, November 29th and Saturday, November 30th.
