The Wedding Palace (Turkmen: Bagt köşgi; Багт көшги) is a civil registry building in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan.
[1][2] The eleven-story building covers an area of over 38,000 square metres (410,000 sq ft).
A cube that towers over large columns forms its upper stage and incorporates a ball with a diameter of 32 meters—a symbolic planet Earth with the image of Turkmenistan.
On the ninth floor of the Palace—in the central part of the "ball"—is the Golden Hall for weddings, called "Shamchyrag".
The Palace hosts seven banquet rooms, 36 shops and two cafes, providing all the necessary items of wedding services, including dress shops, decorations, car rental, ethnic jewelry, photo studio, beauty salon and 22-room hotel.
