Pałac Ożańsk, in the village of Ożańsk near Jarosław in south-eastern Poland, hosts weddings, receptions, family parties, conferences and training days in a palace and park complex. The largest room takes up to 300 guests, and a separate conference room seats up to 50. Weddings are the core business: the site reports around 100 wedding receptions a year, so groups booking a business event should expect a venue organized mainly around celebrations.
Seminars and company events
The conference room holds up to 50 people. It has its own entrance, natural light, air conditioning, a sound system, a screen and a television. Lunch or a coffee buffet can be served, and breaks can be taken in the park. The palace presents the room for conferences, training sessions and business meetings. For a larger company reception or dinner, the Column Hall described below is the room to ask about.
Weddings and receptions
The Column Hall (Sala Kolumnowa) takes up to 300 guests and is where the banquet and music take place. The Mirror Hall (Sala Lustrzana) is the second room, used for dancing. For a wedding, the whole property is reserved for the couple alone, park included. Civil ceremonies can be held outdoors under the park's dome, so the ceremony and the reception happen in one place. Visits are arranged by phone or e-mail in advance.
Rooms and capacities
The palace lists five rooms: the Column Hall, the Mirror Hall, the New Banquet Hall (Nowa Sala Bankietowa), the Fireplace Hall (Sala Kominkowa) and the Conference Room (Sala Konferencyjna).

Only the Column Hall (300) and the Conference Room (50) have a stated capacity on the official site.

Catering
The kitchen is in house and serves traditional Polish and European dishes with a modern touch, prepared under the supervision of the chef. For conferences, lunch or a coffee buffet is offered.
History and setting
The palace stands in the middle of a manor park, surrounded by a historic wall and reached by a chestnut avenue. The park covers 30,000 square meters and includes a fountain, a garden pavilion called the romantic arcade, a pond with swans and an island linked by a bridge. The present building dates from 1936, when Count Ignacy Rosiński had a modern palace built. It was left as bare walls after the war, later used by a state farm and, from 1955, by a plant breeding research station. A new owner restored it in 2011.
