The Tsakopoulos Library Galleria is a standout venue in Sacramento: modern, well-maintained, and highly welcoming. We had the opportunity to use the space for both an evening gala and a full day conference, successfully hosting up to 250 attendees, and it delivered seamlessly for both formats. Parking can be a challenge (as is the case anywhere in downtown Sacramento), but Silvia and her team's professionalism and attention to detail more than make up for it. Their support ensured a smooth and successful experience throughout. read more

I am a longtime Sacramento event planner and just planned my first event at the Library Galleria, I love how easy it was to work with Silvia, plus it was more affordable than a hotel venue. Everyone loved the event -- we had about 250 people in the main room and then did the breakout rooms as well. I love that it is very build your own with AV and catering.

My organization has held our Advocacy Day event at the Tsakopoulos Library Galleria numerous times. We return because the customer service is top tier. Every detail is carefully curated by the Galleria Executive Staff to ensure the event is perfect. The ballroom is beautiful during the day with striking natural light. The big windows are ornate and perfect for any event. There is an extensive vendor list to cover all client needs. I have already booked my event again for 2027. read more

Linda on the day was so helpful! Silvia beforehand made sure we had everything we needed and all of our questions were answered.

This is the second outstanding program that I have seen at the library. There was a kind guard waiting to assist us with information and guidance to the nearest seat. This performance was a string quartet playing popular music for all ages. read more

We had an amazing Gala event at this location. The staff was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable. They guided us throughout the process, allowing us to decorate, bring our catering crew and our DJ. Highly recommend having your event here read more

We had a wonderful experience hosting our convening of two state agencies and 21 school districts at the library galleria. The venue was gorgeous, spacious, and well-appointed. The staff were organized and extremely helpful. Attendees were appreciative of the space and judged it a huge improvement over our previous year in a different venue. We are excited to return in the future. read more

WONDERFUL! We have held our gala at the library with 400+ attendees for the last 3 years and the staff is so easy to work with. We've used the same preferred vendors and they are also just as fabulous. Our guests feel the space is beautiful and accessible and that is saying a lot from a Disability Rights organization. Every detail is worked out beforehand, and so flexible for new ideas and last-minute changes. Highly recommend this space or all your event needs. read more

We had an amazing experience at this location! The staff we worked with were professional, attentive, and truly on top of everything. They responded to emails and calls in a timely manner and were always happy to answer any and all questions we had. On the day of our event, the team was present and ready to help with anything we needed, which made everything run smoothly. We will definitely be returning to host another prom for our high school students. Highly recommend! read more

Our team of about 150 rented the galleria on a weekend. The communication and process from beginning til end was smooth and easy! Thanks to the team that helped me even tho I was not able to do a site visit prior our event. Kathleen, Silvia, Rose and the gentleman were great to work with! Definitely recommend this location. read more

This is a wonderful venue! Silvia is great and easy to work with, really enjoyed our CE Event we were able to put together here. The location and parking is easy. Will definitely consider doing further business with the Library! read more

Came here for a wedding this past Saturday night and was so impressed! The wedding was super on brand for the couple because they both loved books (and it was semi LOTR themed hehe). I want to say there were about 150 people there and half the ballroom was tables, with the other half being the dance floor. Pros: - clean bathrooms - really beautiful space! a couple balconies (see pic) guests can access - it was literally the introvert's dream to go up in the balcony and survey the lower level with your drinks and people watch from above - This may be on the couple's part - but the organization of the event was really great - open bar in one corner, DJ to the side near the bathrooms, a front and center stage (the stage half of the room where the ceremony took place was converted to the dance floor after, while guests milled about in the other half of the ballroom where the tables were) Cons: - You have to pay for parking - either in an open air lot a block down on I street (it was like $17.50 for all day parking, the better deal than paying like $10 an hour or something), or the garage next to the galleria (also a good option). - Bride and groom said they weren't allowed to light any sparklers or confetti for typical send-off read more

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! read more

We came here for a wedding the past weekend. This is a beautiful venue with easy access to everything downtown from the hotel, restaurants, bars, etc. The wedding we attended was beautifully done and everything was reasonably spaced out enough for tables to eat and have a dance floor. Easy access to get to in and out of the building as well as to the restrooms. I didn't have chance to take pictures as I was enjoying the moment but check out the other yelpers pictures and you will see the place really is nice. read more

Attended a friend's wedding here; I hadn't been to the Galleria since SHS Junior Prom 2003 "A Night in Paris," tbh. Parked at Park Tower Garage at 849 J, cost $20 open until midnight for guests. After the I Street Library closed, the wedding was a 5:30pm ceremony downstairs, followed by cocktail hour upstairs, then reception, dinner, and dancing downstairs. Not too bad, compared to a party I attended at the Citizen which had dinner on the roof but the rest was downstairs first floor level where getting all the guests in the elevators/stairs was a pain. Roomy spread for DJ and photobooth, dinner tables, buffet line and dessert table, drinks, and dancefloor. Lighting and draping were lovely. I'm not sure how much were other vendors but the venue did accommodate very well. Homemade/handcrafted wooden arch fit and easily disassembled, guestbook near entrance was a good photo spot (foot of staircase). Due to it being a Friday evening, the mariachi music from the restaurant in Cesar Chavez plaza could be heard during the vow exchange, but such is Sacramento. read more

The first place that Future Hubby and I looked at for our wedding reception. There is something really sweet about all that money that we are ponying up for our party going to support the Sacramento Public Library System, something we both love. The coordinators so far have been really accommodating, meeting us there on the weekend as live in San Francisco and we couldn't just drop in during the week. There was a mistake on my first contract but it was corrected fairly quickly, the other drawback is that you have to choose a caterer from the limited list, so if you have your heart set on a specific type of food this could be a deal breaker. I'm happy with the caterer we ended up choosing and they are used to throwing really large events, making our 200+ guests seem almost manageable... read more

It's a beautiful place to host weddings or parties. They have beautiful ceiling, balcony and interior is pretty. Only issue is parking. You'll need to park on the streets. We had looked into this place years ago for our wedding. They have strict rules about caters, alcohol and etc. read more

Had our wedding here two months ago and it is such a beautiful venue. I knew I had to have my reception here. Sandi the coordinator was so patient with me, even when I had to move my wedding at a later date. They do have a set list of caterers but that was fine with us. We went with Hannibal's and they were great. Everyone complimented the venue. It was reasonably priced for that matter. Didn't have to decorate much because it was amazing already on its own. read more

Horrible place Pretty but the costumer service from the People in charge during my nieces wedding Horrible would not recommend if you are having Live music they kept complaining it was to loud Really it's a live band A little advice to this place maybe you should Tell the people wanting to use your venue That you don't allow loud music or no music Lol you really are a library Advertising that may help Zero star And thumbs down And then threaten to call the cops on groom read more

I'm only dumping one of the stars b/c the event staff traded out coordinators on me without letting me know. Which, if you've ever been a bride, can be a tricky situation. But, whatevs... My wedding could not have been better at this location. Gorgeous setting, with an enormous, tall window, cute indoor balcony and large area that can be split in two so that you can do both the ceremony and reception there. The coordinators are great at planning out the design and making sure you're happy. The price is spectacular: affordable! And the bridal room is the size of a house. Granted, they don't offer much seating in the bridal room, and lack of mirrors, but a great room, nonetheless. The Library Galleria is gorgeous, clean and well-kept. The staff has worked with various caterers and DJs, so any event here will run smoothly and efficiently. Parking is a bit scarce, but for an extremely affordable price, you can rent out the US Bank Garage, or pay the attendant to stay later so people at your event can party til the break of dawn-style. read more

I am having my 150 person wedding and reception here at a very reasonable price. To rent out the balcony and main floor for 9 hours on a Sat night was less than $5K. My fiancée and I are very excited. All of the money made from our wedding goes back to the Sac Library which is awesome. read more

I had my wedding here January 27th and it was amazing. The venue is nice and so is the staff. They worked with me on so many things even though I'm not the easiest person to work with when it comes to stuff like this. They do have a lot of rules you can't bring your own food, you can't bring your own alcohol but you can drop it off with a caterer to bring for you. You have to have insurance for the night of the event. Other than those things this place is perfect. The price was good and i would definatly recommend this place to anyone who's thinking about it. read more

I just went to a wedding here and I totally fell in love with this place. It's very large and grand looking, with large windows and an elegant balcony area that you can pay to rent out as well. The wedding I attended did just that, so we had cocktail hour on the balcony while the staff broke down the ceremony site on the ground floor and prepared for the reception. Later in the night the bride threw her bouquet from the balcony as well...adorable! I've looked at their site to get an idea of prices, and it is surprisingly affordable. Perhaps I'll have to keep this place in mind once he decides to put a ring on it! read more

I have always loved beautiful libraries, and this one is a beautiful one indeed! I went here for an awards banquet held by the Asian/Pacific Bar Association of Sacramento (ABAS). I really liked the set-up there. The high ceilings were a plus. It was just a beautiful event. The only criticism (if you could even consider this that) is that there were round tables set up, and it was a little hard to get through. This particular space was long and on the narrow side, so the round tables made it hard to navigate and pass through. Other than that, I loved it. read more

My best friend recently got married here. It isn't the biggest place out there, but it certainly is beautiful! The staff was courteous and respectful, and everything went pretty smoothly. The floor space itself isn't huge, but they split it up in halfs, so you can have the ceremony on one side, and the reception on the other. Then when the ceremony is over, they clear it out and turn it into a dance floor. Great use of space. The parking is horrible, but its downtown Sacramento, what do you expect? Its within walking distance of a bunch of hotels and restaurants though. So we were able to walk back and forth to the venue for rehearsals and such. Overall, its a great place to get married if you don't have a huge invite list! read more

The Tsakopolous Library Galleria was a wonderful place to hold our reception. When we saw it in a wedding magazine, we knew it was a top contender on our "Wedding Venue" list. It was the first place we looked at... and the only place. We booked the same day. As the bride, I already imagined how our wedding reception would be... and on the wedding day it was nearly perfect. We loved the tall ceilings and windows. It was spacious, yet intimate. The library went perfect with our "Love Story" theme where we used library book cards as save the dates, programs as a mini book, vintage books as centerpieces, and famous love stories as table names. We were able to use the large screen for our video presentations at no extra cost. We used the lobby entrance as a red carpet entrance for our guests (gave a little "wow" factor as opposed to coming in through the side entrance). The staff was great. Prima Diva was our coordinator. She was personable, friendly and was great at responding almost immediately to our emails. Only irk was we we didn't receive our layout until a few days before the wedding, however, she planned it out so well that we didn't need to make many changes. One star off because you have to pay extra to use the extra "staging" room... I think it should come with the rent since we rented the whole facility for the day. We're very happy we chose the Library Galleria for our wedding reception. =) Very unique place and our guests loved it. read more

I had the distinct pleasure of working at Tsakopoulos Library Galleria for a recent wedding. The staff at this venue are all amazing: Kathleen, Liz, Michelle and Bernard were so helpful. Under the very professional leadership of Director, Sandi Stewart, I cannot say enough about the assistance and advice they provided to help me and my team ensure a memorable experience for my very deserving bride & groom thanks so much; we can't wait to return.

My husband and I used the Tsakopoulos Library Galleria for our November wedding. The building is beautiful and spacious. It was perfect for our small (60 guests) wedding. The staff was awesome at answering all our questions and responding to my emails almost immediately. On our wedding day, everything went smoothly and was set up exactly like I expected. The only draw back is the limited number of caterers available, we went with All Seasons All Reasons (which ended up being a disaster, honestly the only bad part of our wedding day). I would recommend this venue to any couple looking for a wedding venue! read more

We had our wedding here. This place is GORGEOUS! It looks like you'd pay out the ears for this kind of luxury, but in fact it was very reasonably priced. We decorated the place just a little because you don't NEED to decorate much. Parking was a little tough, but it's downtown Sacramento so it was as good as it could be. There was an issue with the adjoining parking garage, but that was of no fault to the venue. Our only bit of criticism was with the day-of-wedding coordination; it was a bit choppy to get going and there was some miscommunication between us and our facility rep. But overall it was a great experience and our families were in awe of how awesome it looked. read more

A very nice wedding facility, with lots of space for your indoor ceremony and reception. Only drawback, as noted by other reviewers, is the limited number of accepted catering services. read more

Gorgeous venue. It was a perfect fit for my nighttime wedding. The staff is amazing and very helpful. The building is stunning and unique.

Great place for a wedding Our friends wanted to have a wedding on the Delta but the place they wanted to have it at got shut down and they had very little time to find another venue but they did This place is great ! read more

I'm off to a wedding tomorrow. I won't be tweeting or taking pictures so just imagine a beautiful wedding with me in the back row frowning.

My husband and I got married here on October 20th! We had the most amazing wedding, so many people gave us compliments on the choice of venue. The pictures that we have seen so far are absolutely stunning! Kathleen was a pleasure to work with, she made sure that all the details were ironed out. She made things very easy. I could not be more happy with how our wedding went. I highly recommend this venue for a wedding as it could not be more beautiful and the staff is wonderful. read more

Every bride's nightmare!!! I contacted Sandy to set up an appointment for a tour and she started out by lecturing me for sending duplicate emai requests for a bid!! What a jerk! Then when I requested an appointment with a specfic person who worked there which had been recommended to me by a caterer she refused...she basically said I get whomever I get and there's no way to set an appointment with a specific person! Horrible customer service! What a jerk! They just lost a $15,000 wedding sale all due to the fact that their representative treated me badly! Pretty pathetic! read more
