PA news agency spoke to newlyweds Tom Leese, 34, a video producer, and his wife Rachael, 31, an account director, who are in Prague on their honeymoon.
The couple were having a drink near where the shooting occurred when a policeman rushed in and started "shouting loudly" in Czech.
"I asked for it in English and he said there was an active shooter and to stay inside and stay down," Tom said.
"The staff were very calm, turned all the lights off very quickly and urged us to stay calm, the restaurant was relatively quiet."
Tom said that his wife was "still in shock".
"With everyone else being so calm it didn't seem real to me," he said. "We've been in touch with all of our families to let them know that we're safe."
"We obviously can't wait to get home now."

Joe Hyland, 18, from Truro, Cornwall, is on holiday with friends in Prague and was in a street near the attack when he heard the shooting.
"We heard gunshots and ran for cover in the metro after police shouted at everyone to run. It was very frightening.
"All of a sudden people started running. We didn’t know what was going on. We saw police going past us. They were shouting 'run'."
Hyland is now back safely at his hotel.
"We rang our parents straight away. This was our first holiday with just us lads."
