Dömli is an event church and cultural house in Ebnat-Kappel, in the Toggenburg region of eastern Switzerland, that companies and private hosts can hire for seminars, receptions and celebrations. The main hall takes up to 400 people standing, 300 seated in rows or 100 at dinner tables, and a second building run by the venue adds a room for up to 100 guests. The hall also hosts a year-round programme of theatre, concerts and comedy, so a stage, lighting and a sound system are part of the building.

Seminars and company events

The venue says plainly that it is rented for business events as well as private ones. The high ceiling gives the hall a large volume for a conference, a product presentation or a staff gathering, and a stage is included in the basic setup. A television with a 2.5 m diagonal is available, and a projector with a screen can be added on request. The hall has two handheld microphones, a main speaker system with a subwoofer and stage monitors. Stage and house lighting can be dimmed, and the rig includes moving heads and profile spots. A sound technician can be booked, and sound levels are limited to 93 dB.

For smaller sessions, the Füürweerhüüsli, a former fire-brigade house, is set up for hybrid meetings and workshops with up to 50 people. It has a projector and screen, an audio-video system for remote participants, two flipcharts and fast WLAN. The venue describes the setting as rural and free of distractions, which suits a day of focused work.

Weddings and receptions

The official site lists weddings and private celebrations among the events the hall suits, without a separate package. Hosts book the building by the day, seat up to 100 guests at tables in the main hall and arrange decoration through local partners. For a larger dinner, the Füürweerhüüsli can serve as a second room with a fully equipped bar and dishes, and it adds seating for 50 more diners.

Rooms and capacities

The main hall, called Dömli, holds 400 standing, 300 seated or 100 for a seated meal. A gallery with about 100 seats looks onto the stage. The bar in the hall has two large refrigerators, a coffee machine and a kettle. Three entrances serve the building, and one of them is accessible by wheelchair. The Füürweerhüüsli takes 50 seated or 100 standing. Its basement kitchen can prepare meals for 30 to 40 people and is hired separately.

Catering

Catering and decoration are arranged through local partners. The venue works with three caterers, two florists or decorators and one lighting provider, so organisers can ask the team for names rather than search the region. The day rate for the Füürweerhüüsli includes its bar, with drinks, tea and coffee available during sessions.

History and setting

Dömli stands at Kapplerstrasse 52 in Ebnat-Kappel, in the Toggenburg valley. It marked ten years in 2026, with an anniversary concert by the Pepe Lienhard Orchestra on October 22, 2026. Theatre, musicals, rock concerts, Swiss folk music and comedy share the same hall through the year, so check the event calendar before choosing a date.
