Weddings and receptions
The castle names weddings among the events its spaces suit. For a small aperitif, the historic pavilion on the east side of the park looks across the fountain to the castle. It holds about 10 to 12 seated on a bench and is roofed, but open at the sides and the front, with steps down to the park. Standing tables can be added on request. The Marmorsaal, in the castle building, takes 20 to 25 standing guests and is rented only outside museum opening hours.
Rooms and capacities
The Schlosskeller holds 60 seated, the Orangerie 40 seated, the Marmorsaal 20 to 25 standing and the pavilion about 10 to 12 seated. Several events may take place in different spaces at the same time, and the park is open to the public in the evening until 10:00 p.m., so a wedding in the park is not private.
Catering
You can run the event yourself. The castle also names restaurant businesses that can obtain the necessary permit on request, but the castle administration does not take part in organizing an event. Plan the menu and the service with the caterer you choose.
