Die Alte Gärtnerei

Die Alte Gärtnerei hosts company events, weddings and private parties for 15 to 200 guests in a set of glasshouses in Taufkirchen, south of Munich. The rooms can be booked one by one or together, and the team can plan and organize the whole event on request.

Seminars and company events The venue presents itself to companies for product presentations, anniversaries, conferences and team events. By day, a glasshouse can work as a conference room. In the evening the same space is lit and laid out for a banquet. Organizers can invite a small circle of selected clients or fill the largest house with up to 200 guests. The Atelier can be booked on request as a quieter room for business conversations, and participants can take a break outdoors in the rose garden. The site names companies such as BMW and Bavaria Filmstudios among past clients.

Weddings and receptions Weddings are the long-standing use of the place. The site says its house photographer has covered about 150 weddings here. Open-air ceremonies are held in the rose garden or, next to the Kaminloft, in the courtyard garden, and the celebration then moves into a glasshouse. The venue describes summer and winter wedding set-ups and recommends partners for photography, music and decoration. Birthdays, christenings and golden wedding anniversaries are also hosted.

Rooms and capacities Four glasshouses are available, for 15 to 200 people in total. The Kaminloft has a fireplace and is described as suited to gatherings from about 40 guests, while another page says it works for events of more than 15 people. The Palmenhaus is a bright glasshouse with underfloor heating, presented for celebrations from 80 guests and for large events from 100 guests. The Atelier is a smaller room booked on request. The rose garden is the outdoor area. Every room is step-free and heated, and awnings and a ventilation system keep the spaces comfortable in summer. Air filtration units with UV light are installed in all the glasshouses.

Accommodation The Waldhaus is a guesthouse on the grounds with 16 beds in 8 double rooms, plus one child's bed. It was fully renovated in an English country house style. A wedding party or a client group can stay the night before and after the event without a drive, and the house also serves as a getting-ready space for the couple.

Catering The venue works with a network of caterers who supply food and drinks to the host's brief. Service staff, a DJ or live band and photographers are arranged through partner companies, and the team can take over the complete planning if the organizer prefers. The first contact is a form on the website.

Getting there The estate is in Taufkirchen, between Unterhaching and Oberhaching, in the Munich area. The pages we read give no rail or parking details, so ask the team about directions and transfers when you send your request.
