Festetics Palace – baroque elegance

(1088 Budapest,Pollack Mihály tér 3)

The mission of Festetics Palace, in honour of its builder-name giver, is to become one of the best  known and popular  institutions of the capital, and to make the wonderful architectural values of this building a „common property” , while transmitting the noblest spiritual traditions of the old Hungarian aristocracy and German culture.  The building is located in the historical part of Budapest where magnates lived, in the neighbourhood of, among others, the National Museum, The Budapest  Ervin Szabó Library or the Italian Culture Institute.

As a venue for weddings, they offer extraordinarily decorated rooms and high quality services, to make the atmosphere of weddings held here, among the walls of the palace, truly elevated, and to give for all those celebrating the Big Day here, a really special, unique experience. The palace is an excellent wedding venue if the young couple is looking for a room with a romantic atmosphere, classic beauty and gentle elegance.

The historic rooms may be booked individually or opened together (the Mirror Room, due to the characteristics of the palace may be booked only together with the Marble Room).

Marble room

This room has marble effect stucco walls and skylight windows above. There is a mirror on the wall, decorated with the coat of arms of the Festetics family. Earlier it used to function as a reception salon. Today it also fulfils this purpose, because the Marble Room leads to the richly decorated ball room. The restrooms also open from this room, as well as a smaller room of 15 square metres that can be used for relaxation or changing room.

Mirror room

The „gem” of the building, with its inlayed wooden floor and Venetian mirrors lit by the one and only original crystal chandelier, the ball room was built in classicist, baroque style. Access to the Mirror Room is through the Marble Room, therefore the two rooms may be booked only together.

Andrássy and Festetics room

We recommend booking these rooms in case of a high number of guests, as they provide enough space for dancing. The civilian ceremony can also be perfectly organised in the Andrássy Room.

For the welcome reception, prior to the wedding, in case of good weather we recommend the Court.
