The Venetian Terrace

Venetian Terrace is a waterside event venue on the Mandalay Canal in Las Colinas, Irving, Texas, with a vine-covered ceremony terrace for up to 150 guests, a ballroom, a private dining offer and in-house catering. It hosts weddings, corporate events, rehearsal dinners and private parties, and has operated for more than 20 years.

Seminars and company events The corporate events page presents Venetian Terrace as a place for client dinners, company gatherings and relationship-building events in Las Colinas. The booking form accepts requests for up to 150 guests, which is the practical ceiling for planning. The site links to sample floor plans for corporate events and to a price brochure, both available on request. A day can combine the shaded terrace and the canal walk with a seated meal in the ballroom, since the venue describes indoor and outdoor spaces that flow into each other. The site does not describe audio visual equipment or meeting layouts, so ask about presentation needs when you inquire.

Weddings and receptions Weddings are the venue's main offer. The Venetian Ceremony Terrace measures 1,790 square feet and holds a ceremony for up to 150 guests, with the vined terrace wall or the Mandalay Canal as the backdrop. It has men's and women's restrooms and a cash bar option, and it can be rented on its own for up to four hours. A cocktail hour by the canal follows, served butler style while the wedding party finishes photos, and the venue offers a gondola exit at the end of the evening. Receptions move into the Venetian Ballroom. An exclusive vendor team covers DJ, photography, floral, decor, coordination, videography and wedding cake, and an all-inclusive package is listed.

Rooms and capacities Three settings are named on the site: the Ceremony Terrace (1,790 square feet, up to 150 guests), the Piazza ceremony courtyard, and the Venetian Ballroom. The site does not give a seated capacity for the ballroom, so confirm it for dinner layouts. Cocktails are served along the Mandalay Canal.

Catering The kitchen is in-house. The venue offers private tastings, chef-guided menus and catering for weddings, rehearsal dinners and corporate functions. Dishes named on the site include bruschetta, potato-crusted salmon filet and chicken cordon bleu, with a dessert bar. The private dining experience runs as a chef's menu of several courses on the canal, and a separate catering service covers events elsewhere.

Getting there The venue is in the Las Colinas area of Irving, beside the Mandalay Canal, in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The site gives no street address, station or airport information, so request directions when you book.
