Description
The Experience
On the morning of 1 January, while Venice sleeps after the New Year celebrations, St Mark’s Square is almost empty and the first light of the year rises over the lagoon. That is when you propose. A professional photographer captures the moment in the soft dawn light, and you celebrate with a bouquet of red roses and breakfast in the square.
A new year, a new chapter: a quiet, poetic alternative to the crowds of midnight.
Why the First Sunrise
After the New Year’s Eve celebrations the city is silent at dawn. Sunrise in Venice on 1 January is just before 8am, and the low winter light turns the square, the Basilica and the lagoon pink and gold. It is the rare moment when St Mark’s feels like your own.
How the Morning Unfolds
- You meet your coordinator before dawn near St Mark’s.
- You walk into the almost empty square as the sky starts to brighten.
- You propose at sunrise; the photographer captures the moment and a couple session.
- A bouquet of red roses for the new fiancée.
- Breakfast in the square to celebrate.

Frequently Asked Questions
What time is sunrise in Venice on 1 January?
Just before 8am. We meet about 30 minutes earlier to be in position for the first light.
Will St Mark’s Square really be empty?
At dawn on 1 January it is one of the quietest moments of the year. It remains a public square, but at that hour you will have it almost to yourselves.
What if there is fog or acqua alta?
Winter fog makes the photos even more atmospheric. In case of acqua alta, your coordinator checks the tide forecast and adapts the timing or the spot.
How is this different from the St. Mark’s Square Sunrise Proposal?
This edition takes place on the first morning of the year and includes breakfast in the square; it is available only on 1 January.
Can you keep it secret?
Yes. Your partner thinks you are going for a sunrise walk; the photographer stays discreet.
Is the price for two people?
Yes. €1,900 is all-inclusive for the two of you.
