Eventalm takes company parties, seminars, general assemblies, trade fairs and weddings for up to 500 guests at a banquet, 300 in seminar layout and 650 standing. The venue is a Swiss alpine-style wooden hut in Rümlang, in the canton of Zurich, close to Zurich Airport.
Seminars and company events
The corporate formats listed include Christmas parties, summer parties, client events, seminars, workshops, conferences, trade fairs, exhibitions and general assemblies. Both halls can be used together for fairs and exhibitions. Day and seminar packages help with budgeting, and the team can run the whole event from one source, with a project manager, staff, furniture, decoration and table linen included. Themed evenings, such as Wild West or après-ski parties, and an annual Oktoberfest are part of the programme, and they suit a team night after a day of meetings. Free parking is available on site.
Weddings and receptions
Wedding menus range from rustic meals to formal dinners, with steak on a hot stone, a BBQ or a gala dinner. Decoration follows the couple's wishes, with flower arrangements on request, and a photo booth, live bands or DJs can be added. There is no venue fee for weddings: staff, table linen, candles and permits are included in the price of food and drink. The site does not state whether ceremonies take place on site. Private birthdays and family parties are also hosted.
