Tsakopoulos Library Galleria

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 venueThat you don't allow loud music or no musicLol you really are a library Advertising that may help Zero star And thumbs downAnd then threaten to call the cops on groom

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.

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.

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...

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!
