​

Can I bring my children?

Adults-only Occasion

In order to allow all guests, including parents, an evening of relaxation, we have chosen for our wedding day to be an adult-only occasion. We hope this advance notice means you are still able to share our big day and will enjoy having the evening off!

​

We would love to give all our guests the opportunity to let their hair down and have a good time without having to worry about little eyes and ears, so we politely request no children.

​

​

Will the ceremony be taking place indoors or outdoors?

The wedding ceremony will be conducted indoors. Click here for more information about our wedding venue.

​

What type of food will be served?

The Venetian is known for its delicious cuisine and extensive cocktail hour.  When you arrive at the venue, you will have a cocktail hour followed by a sit-down meal. But don't forget to leave room for cake and desserts. Don't worry about calories, as we hope you dance the night away with us on the dance floor.

​

​

Will there be vegan/vegetarian/gluten-free food options?

Yes, there will be plenty of options for those with dietary restrictions or preferences, but if you have specific requests and want to check, feel free to email us.

​

Can I take photos of your wedding and can I post them on social media?

We ask that you please limit the photos during the wedding ceremony, as this is an intimate moment between the bride and groom.

​

When it comes time to celebrate at the reception, please feel free to take photos and post them on social media. We would love for you to use the hashtag #broughtonbylove - a play on the groom's last name.
