Bernstorff Palace takes day meetings, conferences with overnight stays and private celebrations for groups of 2 to 110 people. The venue is a neoclassical palace at Jægersborg Allé 93 in Gentofte, about 9 km from central Copenhagen, with eight meeting rooms and 23 bedrooms on the grounds.
Seminars and company events
The palace sells day meetings and multi-day conferences. Six smaller rooms work as plenary or workshop rooms, each with a large screen, a Clickshare connection, a flipchart and a whiteboard: Hvide Sal (30 people), Kong Chr. IX, Prins Aage and Prins Axel (24 each), Prins Erik (14) and Prinsesse Marie (12). Break-out rooms for group work are offered separately. Larger groups use Kavalersalen, listed for up to 110 people, or Vognporten, listed for 70. Both have a sound system, a projector and a whiteboard.
Weddings and receptions
The celebration side of the palace covers weddings, christenings, birthdays, confirmations and company parties. For these events the palace publishes four rooms: Vognporten (70), Kavalersalen (96), Prins Valdemar (44) and Hvide Sal (53). Packages include food, drinks and waiting staff. The castle garden can be used for a reception or for photographs. The site does not describe a ceremony offer, so couples should ask about it when they write.
Rooms and capacities
The site gives one capacity figure per room and does not split it by layout. Treat the figures as maximums and ask for the seating plan that fits your program. The two largest rooms, Kavalersalen at 160 square meters and Vognporten at 127 square meters, suit plenary sessions, dinners and receptions. The other rooms range from 39 to 73 square meters.
Accommodation
There are 23 double rooms. Twenty-one are in Kavalergaarden, a half-timbered building a short walk from the palace, on the first and second floors without a lift. Two are in Hovmesterboligen, opposite the palace, and one of them is on the ground floor. Single beds can be joined into a double, and many rooms can be set up as twins. Each room has a private shower, a TV, free internet and tea and coffee. Parking is free for hotel guests.
Catering
The palace prepares food for its events, based on seasonal ingredients and adapted to the program of the day. Conference and celebration packages include meals, drinks and service. Breakfast is served at the palace on weekdays from 7:00 to 9:00 when it is part of the booking.
History and setting
Bernstorff Palace dates from 1765 and was designed by the French architect Nicolas-Henri Jardin in the neoclassical style. It is listed as a monument on the Danish heritage register. The grounds are green and quiet, which suits a residential conference where the group stays together for the whole program.
Getting there
The palace is in Gentofte, 9 km from central Copenhagen. Parking on site is free for hotel guests. For a group arriving by public transport, confirm the nearest station and the transfer with the venue before you fix the schedule.
