About The Venetian
The Venetian — Palatial Italian Ballroom
The Venetian in Garfield is one of northern New Jersey's most celebrated wedding destinations — a palatial, Italian-inspired landmark where 35-foot cathedral ceilings, polished Italian marble floors, and dramatic ruby-red columns create an atmosphere of pure grandeur. Established in 2000, The Venetian has built a reputation for three things above all else: spectacular spaces, legendary food, and white-glove service that makes couples feel like royalty from the moment they arrive.
Two grand ballrooms, one extraordinary experience. The Palazzo Ballroom — adorned with crystal and Chihuly chandeliers, ornate ceiling details, and curving marble staircases — hosts the venue's largest celebrations. The Grand Ballroom offers a slightly more intimate setting with its own stunning chandeliers, high ceilings, and colorful lighting system. Both rooms share the same Italian marble aesthetic, the same award-winning culinary team, and the same uncompromising standard of service.
“I've been to many weddings at The Venetian and it always impresses. But as the bride, experiencing it ourselves — the Palazzo room is immaculate. The food is the best in northern NJ, bar none. As we left, they handed every guest warm donuts, Starbucks coffee, and gelato. That's the Venetian.”

The Palazzo Ballroom
Large-Scale Celebrations
The Venetian's crown jewel — adorned with crystal and Chihuly chandeliers, ornate ceiling details, and the dramatic curving marble staircases that frame the couple's grand entrance. Palatial columns leading down the corridor set the tone. Walking into the Palazzo is a genuinely cinematic moment that guests never forget.
The Grand Ballroom
Up to 250 Guests
The Grand Ballroom maintains the Venetian's signature elegance at a more intimate scale — stunning crystal chandeliers, high ceilings, colorful specialty lighting that creates a subtle modern touch, and a balcony area ideal for photography and entertainment. The lavish dance floor anchors the room.
Outdoor Courtyard
Ceremonies & Cocktails
A private, tranquil outdoor courtyard with a waterfall feature backdrop, tropical trees, botanical blooms, and cherubic fountains — one of Bergen County's most beautiful outdoor ceremony and cocktail settings. Lush, atmospheric, and completely private from the surrounding area.
Indoor Ceremony Room
Indoor Ceremony Option
A spectacular long room with full-length windows along one side and large mirrors on the other — gold Chiavari chairs lining the marble aisle, opulent drapery, and ornate ceiling moldings creating a regal ceremony setting. A dramatic and sophisticated alternative to outdoor ceremonies.

What Your Day Looks Like
at The Venetian
From arrival to farewell, every moment at The Venetian is thoughtfully orchestrated.
Arrival
The Palatial Lobby
Guests enter through The Venetian's palatial lobby — Italian marble, majestic columns, 35-foot cathedral ceilings, and an indoor fountain. The atmosphere is immediate and unmistakable. Bridal attendants and in-house planners are at the ready from the first moment.
The Ceremony
Outdoor Courtyard or Indoor Ceremony Room
Exchange vows in the private outdoor courtyard with its waterfall backdrop and tropical gardens, or in the dramatic indoor ceremony room with full-length windows, gold Chiavari chairs, and a marble aisle. Both settings are exclusively yours.
Cocktail Hour
The Venetian Experience Begins
The Venetian's cocktail hour is the stuff of Bergen County legend — butler-style hors d'oeuvres, custom ice sculptures, abundant food stations, and service so precise that guests consistently say they've never experienced anything like it. Many describe the cocktail hour alone as the best food they've ever had.
The Grand Entrance
Down the Palazzo Staircase
The Palazzo Ballroom doors open. The couple descends the curving marble staircase into a room of soaring ceilings, Chihuly chandeliers, and the full grandeur of The Venetian at its most spectacular. This entrance is one of the most photographed moments at any NJ wedding venue.
Farewell
Warm Donuts, Starbucks & Gelato
As guests depart, The Venetian provides warm fresh-baked donuts, Starbucks coffee, and gelato to go — a signature touch that has become legendary among guests. It is the final flourish of an evening that is, by design, impossible to forget.
