The Czech Museum was absolutely stunning. The pictures do not do it justice. Valerie, our coordinator, was extremely knowledgeable and professional. I did not worry on my wedding day. Valerie handled all the details and ensured all things ran smoothly. We will be happy to recommend to others. Thank you for making our day so beautiful!

Back in October 2009 I finally married my high school sweet heart. I waited so long for the big day and it finally came. I only had the ceremony at the museum. I always heard when you are getting married it can be stressing finding the perfect place. I looked on line and found the Czech Museum and knew it was the place. When I went to have the date book I meet Valerie Kerschen. Valerie was very good making sure I had the date booked and I was completely happy. She was very good returning my calls and answering any questions that I had. Valerie was so helpful on the rehearsal day. She was kind to my family and that means a lot to me. Now when the big day came I was stressed out before I arrived, but there was an assistant that work at the Czech Museum, Olivia Junell, and the minute I walk in she took all my stress away. Olivia made sure that I was comfortable and that I had everything that I needed. Not one time did I ever have to look for Olivia, if I made a move she was there. Olivia made sure everything was in place and that when people that were in the wedding arrived they knew where to go. That was a load off of me. My family and friends loved the ceremony and thought it was so beautiful. Thank you so much ladies Valerie and Olivia for making my day a day I will never forget.

I recently had my daughter's Bat Mitzvah reception at the Czech Center and I can't say enough how perfect everything was! Valerie Kerschen, who coordinated the event, was with me every step of the way. Her professionalism, understanding, and willingness to accommodate all our needs was astounding. It is definitely one of the most beautiful places in Houston and once you see it and work with Valerie, you will not want to go anywhere else. Thank you for making this event so memorable!

We went to the Czech Center after our original reception venue nearly screwed everything up just a few months before our wedding. Olivia was GREAT! I couldn't have asked for a kinder or more friendly person to help us out. Not only did she coordinate the linens, contact my vendors for me (I was 1500 miles away) and put up with my crazy guest count change, she knew exactly the type of beer we'd requested for my dad and got it for him without any hassle. There's minimal decor that needs to be provided as the Brno Gallery is beautiful just as it is.

She helped us out so much during the ceremony - from giving us updates on the caterer to telling us what do to re: the cake.

Having such a helpful person is a big asset to this place - keep her at all costs! She's fantastic!

Having my wedding reception at the Czech Center Museum made the night very special. The building is beautiful inside and out, and it truly set the mood for a romantic evening. The cost of renting the facility is reasonable and the staff work with you every step of the way. Our Event Coordinator, Valerie Kerschen, was so wonderful to us. She emailed me periodically to make sure I had everything I needed, she coordinated all the different vendors I was using, and she went out of her way to make sure I had a projector screen for the father-daughter dance so that I could honor my father's memory during the dance through a slide show. I cannot say enough good things about this center and I highly recommend them to anyone out there searching for the perfect reception location.

Sincerely,

Mr . & Mrs. Achivida

I was so impressed at the service they provided. They went above and beyond for my family. My father has difficulty getting around and they did whatever they could to help him. The museum is beautiful and everyone invited raved about it. Thank you to everyone there for giving us such a beautiful day!

I had a perfect wedding and everything went very well. Jasmine, my event coordinator, asked me if I could write a review and I think, they really deserved 5 stars.
This place is just incredible and I don’t understand why so few people know about. My family was happy and pleased about the staffs kindness and flexibility. I admit, after reading that many contrasting reviews, we were doubting to go with them until we saw the place. This is a little palace, just beautiful! They were actually so kind and let us come earlier before the actual rental so that we could take some professional pictures. Their place is just perfect to have some professional pictures taken.
Our event coordinator, Jasmine, was fun and always there to help us and very flexible. We were worried to be forced to be restricted in our caterer choice, as some family members have specific food preferences, but this was not a problem. We were free to choose whatever we wanted.
One great motivation was the price. We had a perfect wedding and didn’t break the bank. All in all, it was just great. Many thanks to Jasmine!!!!

I had my wedding here in 2010 and I think its a hidden gem for Houston wedding receptions. Colleen Walsh was the coordinator in charge and she did a great job. The price is right. They are TABC licensed and their vast beer selection includes specialty Czech beers. You can comfortably fit 200 people in the upstairs ballroom with a large dance floor. The entire staff is respectfully and willing to help. They have a preferred vendor list but will let you hire others. The inside is beautiful. The upstairs contains art work and windows and the downstairs has numerous museum items that guests can peruse.

The museum part is also a nice addition to the Houston museum scene. Czech Center Museum highlights a culture that strongly influenced Houston and the surrounding areas. A Must See!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
