Schloss Velen is a castle hotel in Velen, in the Münsterland, with 102 bedrooms and meeting rooms for groups of up to 200 people. Seminars, company parties, cocktail receptions and client events are the uses listed on the venue's page, and the Orangerie, known for its wall paintings, is the highlight for meetings and events. The castle stands at Am Schloßplatz 1, about an hour from Düsseldorf.
Seminars and company events
The venue's overview counts 25 seminar rooms, while a detail line mentions 23 meeting rooms, nine large plenary rooms and 14 group rooms, so the exact number should be confirmed with the team. The largest group the house states is 200 participants. Its modular rooms are listed at 194 square meters and can be arranged for theater seating with 200 places, islands for 140, parliamentary layout for 120, a U shape for 34 or a table block for 32.
For small working groups there are two rooms with fixed tables of 26 square meters for up to 10 people, and two informal rooms of 20 square meters for up to 8. The Orangerie is the room to ask about for a company party, a cocktail reception or a client event, since its wall paintings set it apart from the other meeting rooms. Its capacity is not given, so request it with the offer.
Weddings and receptions
The official page lists company parties, cocktail receptions and client events. It does not mention weddings, so private family events should be raised with the team before planning.
