Wedding Palace – The Starting Point of Family Life

Cultural values are material and spiritual heritage passed down from generation to generation, originating from the historical experience, spiritual world, and life principles of the people. They serve to preserve the identity of society, strengthen national consciousness, and develop unity. Among them, traditions such as holding weddings and marriage ceremonies occupy a worthy place. The "Bagt köşgi" (Wedding Palace) celebration center is one of the centers created under the leadership of our esteemed President in our country, which is undergoing transformations equal to centuries. Its goal is to conduct wedding and marriage ceremonies at a high level in accordance with our national traditions, to raise our young generations in the spirit of high morality, to organize cultural services at wedding celebrations, and to further strengthen the unity and integrity of our people. "Bagt köşgi" is an important architectural and cultural center that celebrates the noble wedding traditions of the Turkmen people in a modern way and embodies cultural and aesthetic values. Located in our capital Ashgabat, this celebration center has become an exemplary platform for celebrating the sanctity of the family, unity, and a happy future.
