The castle also has a barrier-free chapel for civil weddings with about 30 guests. Rooms are rented through the town of Roth, which opened them for events and handles the rental.
Seminars and company events
The Ratsstuben are described as the place for the most varied kinds of events with up to 180 people. The official page does not list meeting equipment, layouts or catering, so organizers of company events should ask the town's rental contact about seating plans, technology and service. The town opened the Ratsstuben officially for celebrations and events in November 2015 after a full renovation of the castle.
Weddings and receptions
The castle has a chapel for civil weddings with about 30 people, created during the renovation in the vaulted parts of the building. The town of Roth presents it as one of the most unusual and stylish wedding rooms in Middle Franconia, and it is barrier-free. For the celebration afterwards, the Ratsstuben take up to 180 guests. Couples can also book professional photo sessions in the castle museum, and requests go to the castle service address.
Rooms and capacities
The Ratsstuben consist of several connected halls. In the rear hall a wooden plank-and-beam ceiling was uncovered and restored, and in the front hall sandstone arches were restored. Walls were removed to create a further large room, which allows many kinds of use. Together the halls take up to 180 people. The chapel holds about 30.
Catering
The official pages read for this entry do not describe a caterer or a catering package. Ask the rental contact how food and drink are organized in the Ratsstuben.
