Weddings and receptions
Weddings can be held in a medieval atmosphere with old customs and a carriage ride. Civil and religious ceremonies can both be arranged, and the castle chapel is one of the spaces. The castle offers help with the overall organisation of the day. The setting is described as lush forests, steep cliffs and blooming meadows, only a few minutes from Maribor.

The castle has 18 large, stylistically furnished rooms and 13 former service chambers, a castle chapel, a great hall and a tavern. The castle courtyard is described as an event space with 400 seats, which is the only capacity stated. Capacities for the great hall, the tavern and the individual rooms are not published, so organisers should ask for them.
Accommodation
