Tsakopoulos Library Galleria is a unique wedding venue located in downtown Sacramento, California. This impressive, five-story building was opened in 1992 as a premier event space in the state's capital. Over the years, it has hosted hundreds of weddings, dances, private dinners, concerts, and political functions in its hallowed halls. All rental proceeds go to the Sacramento Library, ensuring that your celebration will benefit the larger community. You and your partner are invited to host your special occasion in this magnificent venue and revel in the opulence that it inspires.

Facilities and Capacity

Tsakopoulos Library Galleria will dazzle you from the moment you arrive at its entrance, which is set with a sweeping, five-story glass window. Inside the 5,400-square-foot atrium, you and your guests will be bathed in natural light, which streams in through the windows and skylights. From the tri-colored terrazzo floor, where you can dance the night away, to the suspended circular light fixtures above, the space radiates style and sophistication. These awe-inspiring light fixtures are an art installation called Prismatic Coronas, and they catch the sunshine and shimmer down on those gathered below. Your reception of 350 can be held on the gallery floor, and if you add the balcony, the number rises to 475. Two meeting rooms are also available for more intimate events such as your engagement party, bridal shower, and rehearsal. They can hold 120 people each and can be rented separately or in conjunction with the main atrium. These meeting rooms are reached through the north entrance to the Galleria, the façade of which is from the original 1918 library. Featuring granite columns that tower above the onlooker, this entrance adds to the grandeur and historic charm of the venue.

Services Offered

Rental of Tsakopoulos Library Galleria comes with nine hours of event time, tables and chairs, a range of linens, china, glasses, and silverware. The venue also provides custom floral arrangements, décor, and wedding planning to ensure your celebration runs smoothly. In addition, photo opportunities are available on the spiral staircase, and a dressing room can be used for day-of preparations. Finally, comprehensive packages also include distinct catering services. The culinary team can prepare cuisine from all over the world to suit any theme, no matter how extravagant.

We picked this venue for a variety of reasons. Part of what we were paying goes back to the library - always a plus! It is close to so many transit hubs in downtown Sac. Most of all, we chose this venue because of the beautiful and dramatic feel of the venue. It has these beautiful windows in the front that allow for lots of natural light to come in. The pillars that surround the place remind me a lot of the pillars from ancient Rome. Because of all these beautiful details, we didn't have to spend a lot on extra decorations!

The venue is absolutely perfect. The staff were super responsive to our needs and helped us out in whatever way they could. They were responsive before, during and after our event - that's all I can ask for.

Beautiful venue.

We're wedding florists, and we loved working at Library Galleria. The staff is incredibly professional and the venue itself is beautiful. It was a pleasure to create floral arrangements in such a lovely setting!

This is a beautiful facility. A portion of your payment goes to helping support the Sacramento Public Library so that is a huge plus.

There are some restrictions due to it being a library and the floor is a gorgeous piece of artwork - but it does mean no bubbles or anything really that could land on floor and make it dangerous.

They are extremely reasonably priced and provide a lot for the day. Just a wonderful place and I would recommend them for anyone who wants a beautiful space that is large but feels intimate.

We were trying to decide if we should do an outdoor wedding or indoor wedding since it was going to be a September wedding. Let us tell you we were so glad we chose the indoor and Library Galleria. We booked the venue almost a year before our big day. Price was not bad at all and they allowed us to bring in our own liquor which was mandatory for me. They do require you to use their vendors for catering but we ended up finding the perfect caterer that helped with much mroe than food. We had 250 guests so we were getting nervous that it would be too small but it was not at all and Sandi who works there will tell you they can fit almost 350 comfortably. Overall great venue and it looks really nice at night along with your lighting, etc.

What a beautiful venue, and working w/Sandi and her staff was absolutely wonderful...This was the first venue we looked at and the groom wanted it right a way.... but I felt we needed to look at others.... after a visit to 5 other venues we came back... it was truly a magical wedding because the wedding was perfect.... :)

Truly, I do not believe I have enough words to not only sing the praises of Sandi Stewart, who was our contact at the Tsakopoulos Library Galleria, but her entire team. From the day our daughter selected "The Galleria" as her wedding venue, all the way through the culmination of our wedding event, the process was absolutely fluid and seamless. Their professionalism is unparallelled. We were made to feel as if we were the ONLY event in town. We had two walk-through's, first our daughter and son-in-law, then the second one with me, (mother of the bride). We booked it immediately, signed, sealed & delivered so to speak, on the spot. Our request for a third meeting / walk through with Sandi and several of our vendors ( caterer, DJ & wedding coordinator) was met with enthusiasm. We were able to establish a timeline, expectations and make certain we were all in sync. We did make several changes to our contract prior to our event date, each change was accommodated with grace and ease. Our wedding day we were greeted with smiles, warmth, and EVERYTHING we had requested had been done to absolute perfection. Not only have we recommeded the Galleria already, I would absolutely book the Tsakopoulos Library Galleria for another event myself should I need such a venue.

My husband and I chose the library galleria for our November wedding this year. We fell in love with the elegance of the building and the location. Our wedding day couldn't have gone more perfectly! In the months leading up to the wedding the staff were so helpful and sweet. Sandi was so quick to respond to all of my emails. She even spent time drawing up several CAD layouts to help best accommodate our large guest list. Many of our guests loved our venue. I would definitely recommend the library galleria to other couples searching for a great wedding reception site.

The Library Galleria was an excellent choice of ours to have a wedding. The place looked magical on our wedding day and will always be a special place for us. Staff there were awesome. They were very responsive and professional and were extremely patient with us during the entire planning phase.

The only negative was there was one homeless individual sleeping by the 9th st entrance that evening.

I recently held my wedding ceremony and reception at the Tsakopoulos Library Galleria and I couldn't have been happier! Everyone I dealth with (Prima, Sandie and Renee) were all incredibly responsive and knowledgeable and helped my day run smoothly and stressfree. I really can't say enough good things about this location and I would recommend it to all my friends and family for their special day!
