Beautiful historical venue

We just had our wedding here on Nov 13th. The place is absolutely beautiful. We had been searching around for a historical venue for our wedding and happened upon this place. We fell in love instantly. Cynthia and her staff were super friendly and very accommodating. Cannot recommend this place enough.

Simply the best

Christina and her crew were amazing. They helped us immensely the day of getting people where they needed to be and making sure our day was perfect. I can’t recommend The Lyceum enough for a more beautiful venue inside and outside and a more perfect staff.

The lyceum is gorgeous

Cynthia @ The Lyceum was a joy to work with and was extremely helpful throughout our process. We unfortunately did not get to have our big day at the Lyceum due to COVID-19 and the health concerns Summer 2020, but if we could do it again, it would be there. The Lyceum has so much to offer and is truly BEAUTIFUL inside and out. I would highly recommend this location for your wedding if you are looking for a large, gorgeous, and price friendly venue.

Covid Wedding

The Lyceum was up against it with my wedding coming in the day before they shut down Galveston for Covid. They were nothing less than professional and welcoming. They made sure everything ran smoothly and it was the experience I needed for myself and my guests that day. We were able to get together for our wedding right before everyone went into lockdown and I'm so glad we chose to go with the Lyceum as a part of that. Will definitely book this spot again for future events!

The Lyceum of Galveston was a DREAM

So glad we chose Lyceum of Galveston as our wedding venue. Made the process very easy, AMAZING value, and such a beautiful historic location. The stained glass windows and gorgeous wood structure helped keep our decor at a minimal. The venue itself was gorgeous enough as it is.

The Lycuem of Galveston

Omg where do I start! Ms Cynthia was so nice and helped us with all of our needs. I enjoyed our wedding. It’s was beautiful and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. The price was reasonable and inexpensive for such a beautiful place. My new wife and I are so pleased with our decision to pick the Lycuem. I would recommend it to anyone who is getting married. Thank y’all so much all the staff was helpful and pleasant,

The Most Amazing day!

We had such an amazing experience with The Lyceum and with Cynthia, Sheila and the entire team. Cynthia was always there for us when we had a question, and she made the whole process seamless. Everyone still continues to tell us how beautiful the venue was, and how gorgeous the stained glass windows are. It truly is breathtaking and certainly a one of a kind venue.

The most beautiful venue

The Lyceum was hands down the best venue we could have chosen. Cynthia and her team are pros. Very willing to work with you to make your dream wedding come true. Any ideas you have, she can help you figure out if it will work and how. We went with an all indoors set up without having to do a room flip. It couldn't have been any more beautiful. We didnt need any decorations except for tables and chairs because the building itself is so beautiful. I got a countless amount of compliments on my choice of venue and I think I will continue to receive them for a long while.
