Wedding in Marienbad — a romantic celebration in a breathtaking setting

Why say "I do" right here

There are places you go to for a wedding. And there are places where the wedding becomes part of a story you will tell for the rest of your life. Marienbad belongs in the second category.

Art Nouveau architecture, the colonnade in the park, the Singing Fountain, the forest on the horizon — this is not a Pinterest photo montage. This is the real setting of your big day. And the bonus? After the ceremony, your guests can enjoy wellness instead of sitting in a pub.

Where to hold the ceremony

Main Colonnade

The neo-Renaissance colonnade with its cast-iron structure is the iconic symbol of the town. A ceremony beneath its arches — overlooking the park and springs — is an experience unmatched anywhere in Czechia. Capacity: up to 150 guests.

Singing Fountain

A ceremony by the Singing Fountain at sunset, as the fountain "sings" classical music and light effects dance on the water jets. Capacity: 80–200 guests (outdoor space).

Art Nouveau halls of Ensana Hotels

For intimate and grand weddings alike:

• Ensana Nové Lázně — historic hall with fresco, capacity 80 persons for the wedding banquet
• Ensana Hvězda — Art Nouveau hall with high ceilings and stucco, capacity 60 persons
• Casino — the largest space, capacity 150+ persons, suitable for large weddings

Spa park

A ceremony in nature — in the park among centuries-old trees, with the colonnade in the background. Ideal for spring and summer weddings.

What a spa wedding day looks like

The day before

• Arrival of guests, check-in at Ensana hotels
• Pre-wedding wellness: massages, carbon dioxide bath, sauna for the bride and bridesmaids

Wedding day

The day after

• Group brunch
• Wellness programme for the newlyweds: carbon dioxide bath for two, massage, sauna
• Mineral spring tasting

Wedding wellness — something no castle can offer

This is what sets a spa wedding apart from all others: your guests don't have to get in a car and drive home after the ceremony. They stay, unwind and enjoy:

• Roman Baths at the New Bath — a pool in historic spaces from 1896
• Sauna zone — private sauna session for the wedding party
• Mineral springs — morning walk with a drinking cure
• Massages and wraps — recovery after a night of dancing

"The photos by the Singing Fountain at sunset — no studio photographer could ever have dreamt that up." — Eliska and Tomas, Prague
