Ca' Marcello is a privately owned Venetian villa at Levada di Piombino Dese, between Treviso, Padua and Venice, that can be booked for weddings and business events. Indoors it takes 40 to 200 guests, with up to 160 in a single room, and the park can host up to 1,000 guests.
Seminars and company events
The villa is offered for business events in period-furnished living rooms. The equipment listed includes an HD video projector of 3,000 lumens, a projection screen of 3 by 2 metres and a sound system with two wireless microphones, a speaker set and a mixer. Quotations are given on request. Free parking on the property takes up to 130 cars or six executive buses, and the owners list shuttle and transfer bus companies for guests. Private group visits with the owner are also offered, for a minimum of 20 people, with an optional light refreshment, buffet lunch or seated lunch afterwards.
Weddings and receptions
Wedding spaces cover the whole day, from the welcome drink to the cake and the evening party with a DJ. The civil ceremony is an official one and can take place in the avenues of the park or in a decorated hall of the villa, with the mayor or a delegate officiating and an official translator available. The couple pays only the municipal fee for the procedure, with no extra charge for the spaces. The villa is reserved exclusively for the wedding for the whole day. An all-inclusive package, the Classic Wedding Experience, is run by a team of ten wedding professionals, and couples may instead choose their own suppliers.
Rooms and capacities
The internal capacity ranges from 40 to 200 guests, with a maximum of 160 in a single room. Floor plans are published on the website. The halls hold period furniture and stucco work, and the ballroom has a cycle of frescoes by Giambattista Crosato. The gardens and park cover 18 acres, or 9 hectares, and can host up to 1,000 guests.
Catering
The villa has no exclusive caterer. It publishes a short list of recommended caterers, six companies from the Padua and Treviso area, and couples may bring their own. For visits, a private lunch of four courses with matching wines, mineral water and coffee can be served in the park or inside the villa, and gala dinners are available on request.
History and setting
The villa is a Palladian-style building from the first half of the 16th century, built by the Venetian Marcello family and enlarged and decorated between 1740 and 1753. It is still lived in by descendants of the family. The house stands in an Italian-style garden and an 18th-century English-style park of more than 9 hectares.
