Moscow, March 23, 2026 – The Moscow Metro continues to develop a unique urban project for holding wedding ceremonies at Mayakovskaya Station. Today, we were able to take a behind-the-scenes look at this unusual process and see how the familiar station space, after closing to passengers, is transformed into an elegant venue for one of life's most important events.
At night, the Mayakovskaya station platform becomes the venue for official marriage registrations. Preparations for the ceremonies require the coordinated work of specialists: within a few hours, the station space is transformed, creating an atmosphere of solemnity and comfort. This stage usually goes unnoticed by passengers, yet it plays a key role in organizing the event.
"This is the 106th wedding ceremony at Mayakovskaya metro station. This format requires special preparation: for several hours, the station space is transformed to create a venue for the wedding ceremony. This work usually goes unnoticed by passengers, but it allows for the ceremony to take place in a special setting," noted Maxim Liksutov, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry.
To hold a wedding ceremony at Mayakovskaya station, future newlyweds must submit an application in person at Wedding Palace No. 1.
Mayakovskaya Station remains one of the most popular venues for off-site wedding ceremonies in the capital. Its unique architecture and atmosphere make these ceremonies truly memorable.
"Mayakovskaya metro station has traditionally been especially popular among Moscow's newlyweds. Wedding ceremonies at this location have already become one of the most beautiful and unusual city traditions. Three couples got married here on the night of March 22nd," said Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development.
The Moscow Metro will continue to develop projects that make the city's infrastructure not only convenient but also open to new forms of cultural and social life.
