Your wedding in Mariánské Lázně
A cast-iron colonnade, a singing fountain, halls under crystal chandeliers, and seven hotels within walking distance. Your whole day happens in an area you can cross on foot in ten minutes.
Venues
Where you say yes
Five venues within walking distance of each other. Two under a roof, three in the open — and parks in between, where the photographs happen on the way.
The Main Colonnade
A hundred and twenty metres of cast-iron lace from 1889, a painted ceiling, and light that falls between the columns in stripes. The most photographed place in town — and in the morning, before the spa guests arrive, the quietest.
- Capacity
- depends on the ceremony layout
- Setting
- covered, open to the park
- Best season
- May–September
The Singing Fountain
The circular fountain in front of the colonnade plays on every odd hour. After dark the lights join in and the square turns into an auditorium — a moment you can plan down to the minute.
- Capacity
- open square
- Setting
- outdoors
- Best season
- April–October
The Cross Spring pavilion and the spa park
A white pavilion with a copper dome, lawn in front of it and forest immediately behind. A place for a small ceremony, after which you walk through the park to the banquet.
- Capacity
- small ceremony
- Setting
- outdoors
- Best season
- May–June, September
The Casino social house — Marble Hall
A frescoed ceiling, crystal chandeliers and a parquet floor that has been danced on since 1900. The largest historic hall in town, and the only one that fits a wedding you do not have to trim.
- Capacity
- up to 300 seated, 450 standing
- Setting
- indoors
- Best season
- all year
An open-air ceremony
When you want the ceremony out of town: a meadow, a pavilion or the edge of the forest in the Slavkov Forest, fifteen minutes by car. Guests sit on the grass with nothing but trees overhead.
- Capacity
- depends on the site
- Setting
- outdoors
- Best season
- June–September
The halls of the Casino social house
Five historic halls under one roof. Banquet means seated at tables, reception means standing with a buffet — for the same hall the two numbers differ by almost half.
Marble Hall
frescoed ceiling, crystal chandeliers, parquet
Mirror Hall
mirrored walls, chamber scale
Red Salon
warm colours, good for a banquet
Pink Salon with Gallery
two connected rooms, good for a buffet
Edward's Library
a library, the most intimate of the five
| Hall | Banquet | Reception | Character |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marble Hall | 300 | 450 | frescoed ceiling, crystal chandeliers, parquet |
| Mirror Hall | 100 | 180 | mirrored walls, chamber scale |
| Red Salon | 130 | 180 | warm colours, good for a banquet |
| Pink Salon with Gallery | 140 | 190 | two connected rooms, good for a buffet |
| Edward's Library | 50 | 50 | a library, the most intimate of the five |
The figures come from the Ensana wedding catalogue. The exact layout, dance floor and space for the band are confirmed by the venue when you book.
The morning
Before anyone steps outside
Most of a wedding day happens before the ceremony begins. At that hour the hotel is still quiet — and the staircase is all yours!
Beneath the portrait of Edward VII
The hall of Nové Lázně holds a portrait of King Edward VII, who came to Marienbad from 1897 and founded the golf club here. Being photographed beneath it is a local tradition — and it puts the bride exactly where he used to stand.
Famous visitorsThe day
The day in three acts
A wedding in a spa town has one advantage: the guests do not travel. They arrive the day before and leave the day after — and in between they never once get into a car.
The evening before
- Guests arrive and settle into one of the seven hotels
- Spa time for the bride and bridesmaids — a mineral bath or a massage
- Dinner together in a smaller circle
The day itself
- The ceremony at the colonnade, the pavilion or in a hall
- A carriage ride through the park past the springs
- A toast beneath the floral arch
- The banquet and the first dance on the Marble Hall parquet
The morning after
- Breakfast without hurry, guests leaving as they wake
- A walk to the colonnade and a drinking cure for the hangover
- A spa honeymoon — a few more days in the same hotel
Two things you will not get elsewhere
Not on any list of services, but the things guests remember.
The Singing Fountain on request
The fountain plays a fixed repertoire on every odd hour and stands right beside our colonnade. A special piece at a time of your choosing — lit, if it is after dark — is therefore settled directly with us: the fountain is run by the town, but we handle the arrangement and you deal with nobody else.
About the Singing FountainThe carriage ride
A historic carriage from the ceremony to the banquet: through the spa park, past the springs and along the colonnade. The route can be shortened or stretched depending on how much time you have between the two.

The place settings, the flowers, the rings — the things that stay in the photographs years later.
For your guests
Most of the worry around a wedding is logistics. Here there is less of it, because everything is next door to everything else.
- Seven spa hotels within walking distance — from five-star to comfortable
- Spa and pools for guests who arrive early
- Something to do between ceremony and banquet: the colonnade, the parks, the springs
- Parking at the hotels, the ceremony venues on foot
- Step-free access to most halls and to the colonnade
Between ceremony and banquet, the hotel bar is the busiest place of the day.
When
May and June are the greenest here — the park comes out before the high season starts, and the light at the pavilion is the reason photographers keep coming back. September brings colour and warm evenings without the heat.
A winter wedding is a different genre: ceremony and banquet move indoors, into the halls beneath the chandeliers, with the colonnade under snow outside the window. There are more dates free and the prices are lower.
