Hello, I am wedding photographer from Prague and I have already visited hundreds of wedding ceremonies in all disctricts of Prague. Are you interested in where is the best venue for a wedding in Prague? Look at my list of popular Prague wedding venues. (Only web pages with english text are mentioned.)
The capital city Prague has a long history and offers a lot of places for weddings and wedding photography. Some fiancés prefer the historical part of the hundred-towered Prague in their photos, others prefer modern Prague buildings or natural parks where you would not even say that you are in big city. Nice wedding photos can be created everywhere with a skilled photographer.
In which Prague venues I take photos as a wedding photographer:
- Prague City Halls and Wedding Offices
- Prague Castles, Palaces and Chateaux for Weddings
- Prague Hotels, Restaurants and Villas for Weddings
- Prague Gardens, Parks and Boats for Weddings
- Prague Churches and Chapels for Weddings
- In surroundings of Prague: Farms, Forests and Resorts in Nature for Weddings
Prague City Halls and Wedding Offices
Each municipal district of Prague has its own office for wedding ceremonies. It is often the cheapest solution, often for free, but there is some administrative fee for foreigners who are not residents of the Czech Republic. With low price you can’t expect luxury venues, these city halls and rooms are rather for quick formal weddings.
As a wedding photographer I have visited most of these wedding venues in Prague. I also created a list of them (sorry, only in czech language, but photos are more important than text in the page): a list of wedding halls of all Prague city parts. As the most beautiful venues of Prague municipal districts with great demand I can recommend these Prague wedding venues:
- Old Town Hall (with famous astronomical clock) in Prague 1
- Vršovice Castle (also called Rangheri House) in Prague 10
- Ceremonial hall of Žižkov Town Hall in Prague 3
Prague Castles, Palaces and Chateaux for Weddings
Prague palaces and chateaux are here for people who like elegant style of their wedding. These wedding venues take place in historical buildings. The quality of service is often high as well as their price. Do not take this as a rule for every castle, because some are very small and you can have more luxury wedding in beautiful hotels (see in next chapter). But if you have already bought a princess wedding dress, you need to rent some palace or chateau probably.
- Chateau St. Havel
- Lobkowicz Palace
- Martinicky Palace
- Colloredo-Mansfeld Palace
- Star Summer Palace (Museum of Czech Literature)
- Troja Chateau
- Ctěnice Chateau
- Chateau of Hlubočepy & Folklore Garden
- Zbraslav Castle
- Empire Hall in Slavic House
Prague Hotels, Restaurants and Villas for Weddings
Service quality of hotels very differs. Some of them are something like cheap family pubs and others are five stars hotels with staff who really cares about happiness of bride, groom and all wedding guests. You must choose carefully. Hotels are combined with restaurants in many cases. Villas can be hotels and restaurants in one building, so a difference between villa, hotel and restaurant is hard to say. Most of these wedding venues in following list offer both meal and accomodation.

- Werich Villa
- Villa Bílek
- Hotel Dolce Villa

Vrtba garden is very popular for foreigners, because you can see all the nice typical red roofs of Prague from this wedding venue.

- Klementinum Mirror Chapel
- St. Claire’s Chapel (Prague Botanical Garden)
- Sacre Coeur Chapel (deconsecrated venue)
In surroundings of Prague: Farms, Forests and Resorts in Nature for Weddings
If you don’t insist on wedding venue directly in Prague, you can choose from plenty of other places around the city. There are some nice castles, but I wanted to offer you some other places: venues in nature, where you have good privacy. So you can rent wedding venue like farm or other similar place. One issue related to it is a lot of these venues is not ready for foreigners, because they aim only for czech weddings. But you can try following venues not far from Prague:
- Clay Bastion – Průhonice
- Yard Resort – Předboj
- Dvur Hoffmeister – Číčovice
What to say at the end? I hope I helped you just a little bit with choosing of right venue for your wedding day. And if you found the best venue for you, I wish you beautiful wedding!
