The Lyceum of Galveston

ourtyard was wonderful for getting out for fresh air. We didn't have to worry about the weather because we had the indoor option. The staff was absolutely wonderful to work with, so helpful when we had questions and clearly thrilled for us on the day of our wedding. The price for all of this could not be beat. We had looked at so many spaces that offered for less a lot higher cost. Having the Lyceum as our setting was perfect!

mmend this place enough.

he venue was, and how gorgeous the stained glass windows are. It truly is breathtaking and certainly a one of a kind venue.

ith 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.

ne way further from home and the pricing and beauty cannot be beat. W for married at 4pm and the light through the stained glass was a fairytale to marry the man of my dreams in. I was nervous about flipping the room between the ceremony and reception, but they were so fast at getting it done that it made it easy to relax!

reat help! Our wedding had approx. 100 people and there was plenty of room. The outdoor courtyard space is great for kids to play or for guests to get fresh air. This is an affordable venue for the DIY bride and your photos and video will turn out beautiful.

day of Brenda was there to open the doors and helped with setup and take down. We received so many comments on how beautiful the venue was. The pictures turn out so well with all the stained glass. Can’t recommend this venue enough!

s on a Saturday, and Cynthia had told us that if no one had booked a wedding the friday before within 6 weeks of the wedding we could use the venue for the rehearsal at no extra cost. This was truly a blessing. Would recommend this place!

knows how to work the building. I am so happy that she was there for us. I am actually sad that I don't have a reason to go back to The Lyceum. I would marry the building if I wouldn't have just got married!

he site is so nice and helpful, and she returns all your emails and phone calls promptly.

yceum is absolutely gorgeous, but the stained glass windows will really take your breath away. However, as beautiful as the Lyceum is, it's the staff that really makes it one of a kind. Cynthia, Brenda, and Linda are an incredible team. They are kind, accommodating, ORGANIZED, and just flat-out resourceful. They meshed perfectly with my A-type personality. Cynthia responded quickly to my e-mails and made sure every detail was covered. Linda opened the Lyceum for our rehearsal and made sure we knew where everything was located. Brenda actually coordinated our wedding (which we did not expect) and was SUCH an asset to us. She fussed over me like a protective mother, and was so warm and considerate. She definitely knew what I needed and how I was feeling. Together, they were an incredible team. The guests loved the Lyceum, and I heard compliments all night long. Between All That Blooms and the Lyceum staff, they place just looked incredible! If you need a good florist, I highly recommend All That Blooms as well. If you are looking for smart, organized, and caring staff, a beautiful venue with some soul, an amazing price, and a great location, I highly recommend the Lyceum! All my guests came from Wisconsin and Ohio, so they just had a blast at Galveston Beach (even in the middle of October)!

for free. You can bring in your own alcohol, which saves a ton! The venue was opened the day of the wedding for all the deliveries and everything went very smooth. It is a BEAUTIFUL location--you get the church feel without having to be in a church. I loved having the ceremony on one side and the reception on the other! It made it great for my guests since most were out of town. It was goregeous and for a good price in the area. Tables and chairs were included in the rental and were actually nice. When I came back from the honeymoon, my refunded deposit was alwready in my mailbox--no hounding them to get my money back! I loved it, my husband loved it and all of our guests loved it.

o enter wasn't in the center of the room! So the main room (Lyceum) was divided in two; the first half was for the ceremony while the back half was for the reception. Turned out beautifully. Also, Cynthia was a great help, answering every question I had, as well as Brenda who took charge at the last minute and made things flow. Wonderful women. I would recommend this place for anyone who wants a simple yet elegant wedding or any event for that matter.

ll help you run the day and make everything perfect for an unbelievable price. It would be great to have the reception here as well, but our wedding was too big for that. I HIGHLY recommend this gorgeous historic building.

its original beauty, complete with the stained glass windows from the 1850s, and boy did they do a tremendous job! Now the Lyceum is available for events and wedding ceremonies of all kinds, and it is perfect! Gorgeous for a wedding ceremony, reception, or both. With an adjoining room with a stage, perfect for a DJ/Band and a dance floor, a full prep-kitchen downstairs, and a Bride's room, it was perfect for my wedding and reception, and very economical, I might add. And Cynthia, the wedding coordinator is very helpful!
