The Roman City of Carnuntum, in Petronell-Carnuntum in Lower Austria, rents out its reconstructed Roman buildings and its two amphitheaters for weddings, company parties, birthdays, seminars and banquets. All the Roman buildings and the two amphitheaters can be hired exclusively, with technical equipment and enough parking. The most used spaces are the villa urbana, a reconstructed city palace with a spacious banquet hall, and the Roman baths. No capacities are published on the pages read.
Seminars and company events
The site lists three locations as the right setting for a company party, a seminar, an anniversary or a birthday. The team can design a Roman-themed program with its cultural mediators, so a company can enter the site in a Roman procession, watch gladiator fights or hold a banquet with Roman music. All events can also be booked as green events. A dedicated page on incentives and rentals invites organizers to describe a festival that is not in the standard offer.
The Roman Soirée is a ready-made evening: a Roman aperitif of spiced wine, herb spread and bread, a private guided tour of the Roman quarter after the park has closed, and a five-course Roman banquet in the villa urbana, with wines from the Carnuntum region and non-alcoholic drinks.
Weddings and receptions
Couples can hold a civil ceremony in the villa urbana and the wedding banquet in the Roman baths, or have an agape in front of the Roman buildings or a table in the ceremonial hall of the city palace. The site says the number of guests can range from a very small group to a large party. Programs can include a Roman pompa, gladiator fights in honor of the marriage, a wedding in the Roman tradition and Roman music with the meal. A wedding folder is available in German.
