Jagdschloss Grunewald rents two outdoor spaces for receptions, dinners, concerts and ceremonies: the castle courtyard and the water terrace. Both are open-air venues, available from May to September. The castle is managed by the Prussian Palaces and Gardens Foundation Berlin-Brandenburg and stands in the Grunewald forest in Berlin.
Seminars and company events
The courtyard, the Schlosshof, covers about 1,000 m². It takes up to 999 guests for a standing reception, by arrangement with the foundation. It is rented for standing receptions, gala dinners, private celebrations and concerts, readings or lectures. A company can use it for a summer reception or an evening event in the open air.
The water terrace, the Wasserterrasse, covers 200 m² and takes up to 150 people. It is rented for the same types of event: standing receptions, gala dinners, private parties, concerts, readings and lectures. Neither space is presented on the official site for meetings or seminars, and both are outdoors, so plan a weather solution with the foundation.
Weddings and receptions
The water terrace is also offered for free wedding ceremonies, followed by a standing reception or a dinner on the same terrace. The terrace holds up to 150 people. The courtyard suits a larger wedding reception, with up to 999 guests standing.
Rooms and capacities
The Schlosshof offers about 1,000 m² and 999 standing guests. The organizer must supply tables and chairs, except for 35 outdoor chairs that can be requested. The Wasserterrasse offers 200 m² and a maximum of 150 people, with 50 outdoor chairs available on request. Other tables and chairs come from the organizer.
The courtyard has six 63 A three-phase power connections and one 16 A connection. Drinking water comes from hydrants. Utilities must not be overloaded and drains must be kept clear.
Catering
External caterers are allowed and can be chosen freely, in coordination with the foundation. Each space has access to a kitchen with two refrigerators, a microwave, a dishwasher, an oven, two sinks and a small storage room.
Rules to plan around
Open flames, torches and grills are not allowed. Tents, canopies, umbrellas and ground anchors need written consent from the foundation. Lawns and planted areas cannot be entered or used for installations, and nothing may be fixed to the courtyard paving. Vehicles are generally prohibited, and vehicles up to 3.5 tons can enter the castle square by arrangement. The car park is 200 m from the venue through the forest, and driving this route requires permission from the forest authority. Proof of event liability insurance is required before the event, and supervision and cleaning are billed through the foundation's service company.
Getting there
Jagdschloss Grunewald is in the Grunewald forest in Berlin. The official site does not describe public transport on the pages used for this listing, so confirm access with the foundation before inviting guests.
