About

We'd love to help you have the amazing wedding you've imagined here at the National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library.

Hands down the showstopper of any event at the National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library is the magnificent Crystal chandelier in Rozek Grand Hall – the anchor where our couples exchange their vows. Floor-to-ceiling windows and the brick archways frame the stunning chandelier creating an intimate vignette for couples to say, “I do.”

We'll take care of all the heavy lifting, the set-up and tear-down of all museum chairs, tables and staging is included in your investment along with access to our full-service bar, bartenders, and support staff throughout your event. An on-site coordinator will assist you with everything from from selecting the perfect date to say "I do" to conducting your wedding rehearsal and making sure all of the details for your big day fall into place. Complimentary amenities include indoor and outdoor parking, use of our Naxera Terrace with views of the Cedar River, stunning crystal chandeliers in Grand Hall and WFLA Heritage Hall, access to our full service bar (no bar minimums, added gratuities or bartender fees) and so much more. Plus, we do not charge any sales tax or service fees!

Best Decision We Made

Best decision we made in wedding planning. Sarah van Deest was the best to work with and willing to share her expertise to help make the best experience for guest. She made the whole process easy and fun and I appreciate her support throughout! Beautiful indoor space with a fun outdoor area for cocktail hour / small games. After the ceremony, guest can walk through the Museum, which I think is an unique touch. I would highly recommend.
