Weddings and receptions
Henry's takes parties of up to 80 people: weddings, birthdays, company parties and anniversaries. A typical day starts with a reception on the terrace, followed by a seated menu of three or four courses for groups from 5 people, or a buffet for groups from 25. A grill buffet in the garden is possible from 30 people. Drinks can be booked as an all-in package, and a mix-yourself bar is available from 40 people.

The garden can be used for a ceremony, but chairs and a tent are not supplied by the hotel.
Rooms and capacities
The restaurant rooms are the event rooms. The Steinbeck room takes up to 70 people at group tables, depending on how it is divided. Helga's Stube holds up to 40 and Erna's Stube up to 20.

Accommodation
