Wedding Weekend on the Strand
Two venues. One caterer. One unforgettable Galveston wedding weekend.
Welcome your guests on Friday at The Buccaneer Room, celebrate your wedding and reception on Saturday at The Trolley Station, and let Chopin Mon Ami Catering bring the food and hospitality to both events. Start with your preferred dates and guest counts; our team will help you explore the possibilities.
Friday: Gather at The Buccaneer Room
An intimate rehearsal dinner or welcome celebration in the historic Jockusch Building at 210 Moody Avenue. With seating for up to 125 guests and a 5,000-square-foot deck, The Buccaneer Room gives family and friends a relaxed place to begin the weekend.
Saturday: Celebrate at The Trolley Station
A grand setting for your ceremony and reception at 2021 Strand. The Trolley Station welcomes up to 250 seated guests, with a 9,000-square-foot ballroom, balcony, raised stage, bridal room and elevator. Explore the venue with Judy to picture your celebration.
Both events: Chopin Mon Ami Catering
Choose from the full Chopin Mon Ami Catering menu for Friday and Saturday. Select your entrées and appetizers, with bar service, staffing and dining details coordinated for both events. CMA has served Galveston since 2005.
Welcome champagne and wedding toasts: Welcome reception champagne at the rehearsal dinner; one white wine, one red wine, two domestic beers and two imported beers; and a champagne toast at the wedding, with a champagne tower for the bridal party. Your proposal specifies beverage selections, service hours and bartender staffing.
Why have your wedding on The Strand?
Make the celebration a reason to explore Historic Downtown Galveston. Historic architecture creates memorable photo settings, while nearby hotels, restaurants, shopping and nightlife give out-of-town guests more to enjoy between events. Two distinctive venues let each gathering have its own atmosphere while keeping the weekend rooted in the same destination.
Plan a weekend that fits your family
Can we book both venues and catering together? Ask our team to coordinate a proposal for your rehearsal dinner, wedding and reception. Availability must be confirmed for each date and venue.
What does the weekend cost? Your personalized proposal itemizes Friday and Saturday venue charges, catering, beverages, staffing, rentals, applicable catering taxes and service charges, and your Wedding Weekend Package Credit. The Trolley Station’s 2027 venue rates are $8,500 for a wedding and reception or $8,000 for a reception only, with no additional venue fees or taxes. Catering and other services are priced separately.
When are payments and final guest counts due? A 25% payment holds your dates. Another 50% is due two months before the event. Final RSVP guest counts and the remaining recalculated balance are due 30 days before the event. No cancellations. Your agreement records the full terms for both events.
