Le Moulin Event's hosts day seminars, team-building days, wedding drinks receptions, outdoor ceremonies and private parties. The venue states a capacity of 70 guests indoors and 100 outdoors, and 50 seated for a meal. It stands by a river at Gresswiller, in Alsace, where the Bruche valley opens toward the plain, about 25 minutes from Strasbourg.
Seminars and company events
The venue sells seminars and team days to companies that want to work away from the office. The meeting room is bright, opens onto the grounds and comes equipped. A screen, furniture and a breakfast welcome are available on site, and the team can advise on a caterer for lunch. The setting suits a leadership meeting, a strategy day, a training session or a team day with time spent outdoors between sessions.
A sound system and LED lighting are already installed in the main room, so a presentation, a speech or a video needs no extra rigging. Private parking is on site. The owners assign one contact who follows the preparation and is present on the day.
Weddings and receptions
For weddings, the venue focuses on the drinks reception (vin d'honneur) and on outdoor non-religious ceremonies in the gardens and on the terraces. When a couple books the drinks reception, the whole site is reserved for that party. The dinner and dance can take place in another hall in Gresswiller, which the owners can help to rent. Birthdays, family gatherings and other private parties are also accepted, and a dedicated corner keeps children busy during the reception.
Rooms and capacities
The site combines one large reception room with terraces and gardens. The figures published by the venue are 50 seated and 70 standing indoors, and up to 100 guests in the outdoor spaces. The room keeps exposed stone and beams under a plain contemporary renovation, which leaves room for the client's own decoration. Garden furniture, standing tables and parasols are provided for an outdoor drinks reception.
Catering
There is no in-house kitchen brigade. The venue works with partner caterers who propose menus from a standing dinner to a seated gala dinner. Tablecloths, tableware and furniture, with round or rectangular tables, are provided. The team sets up the furniture according to the seating plan and handles the cleaning after the event. Photographers, florists, DJs and nearby accommodation can be suggested from the owners' network of suppliers.
History and setting
The building is a former mill, restored by the family that runs it. The venue also links the site to the arms workshop of Jacques Coulaux, a 19th-century Alsatian industrialist, and the restoration kept the exposed timber frames, period materials and large volumes of that industrial past. The river runs along the grounds and old trees shade the garden, which gives an outdoor reception a quiet, private setting.
Getting there
Gresswiller lies west of Strasbourg, close to Molsheim, at the entrance to the Bruche valley. The venue gives a drive of about 25 minutes from Strasbourg. Guests arriving by car can use the private parking on site. Accommodation is not offered on site, but the owners can recommend places to stay nearby.
