Schlossgut Lautenbach hosts conferences, summer parties, Christmas events, incentive dinners, private celebrations and weddings, from 60 to 150 guests in its Orangerie and up to about 500 in the castle courtyard with a tent. The estate stands at Lautenbach 1 in Oedheim, in the Heilbronn district of Baden-Württemberg, and brings together a manor ensemble, a park, a barn and guest rooms.
Seminars and company events
The business offer covers four formats. Summer parties use the park and courtyard for team building and staff events. Conferences are set up with seating for presentations and workshops, followed by networking over a flying buffet. Christmas parties can take the form of a winter village in the courtyard. Incentive groups and business dinners take the Orangerie, with seating inside and outside. Standard technology includes loudspeakers, wireless microphones, an HD projector and Wi-Fi across the site. Lounge furniture, fire bowls and services from partner companies can be added. Free parking is available directly at the estate.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings follow a clear sequence. The ceremony is a free, non-religious one, known in German as a freie Trauung, held in the park or on the castle lawn under old trees and a light stretch tent. The drinks reception takes place outside between the Orangerie and the castle, or in the Ochsenstall if it rains. Dinner and dancing follow in the Orangerie for 60 to 150 guests. The wedding package includes hire of the Orangerie, Ochsenstall and park, cleaning, an event manager during planning and on the day, trained service staff, a sound system with microphone, an HD projector, tableware and table decoration. The estate also hosts birthdays, christenings and anniversaries on the same basis.
Rooms and capacities
The Orangerie is the main room: a light-filled hall for 60 to 150 guests, used for dinners, receptions and business events. The Ochsenstall, whose name means ox stable, serves for receptions and parties. The Festscheune, a festival barn, can be booked for large events. The castle courtyard takes mobile structures or a marquee for about 500 people, and the park offers space for ceremonies and outdoor setups. The estate does not publish capacities for the barn or the Ochsenstall.
Accommodation
Nine double rooms are on the estate, along with an exclusive wedding suite, a getting-ready room and a salon overlooking the Orangerie. They suit a wedding party or a small management group staying overnight after a dinner.
Catering
Catering is handled by the estate's exclusive partners with a trained service team. Options include buffets, lunch, coffee breaks and snacks, plated menus, live cooking and food trucks outdoors. Food and drinks are charged as flat-rate packages, which helps when fixing a budget per guest.
