Schlosswirtschaft Schwaige in Munich hosts company parties, private dinners and weddings for groups of roughly 40 to 80 guests, in six rooms of different sizes that can be combined. The restaurant occupies a side building of Nymphenburg Palace, in the west of the city. Rooms can be booked apart from the daily restaurant service, so a company or a family has the floor to itself.
Seminars and company events
The team handles company events, staff parties, anniversaries and Christmas parties. The official site lists no meeting equipment or seminar packages, so the venue suits dinners, receptions and celebrations better than a full-day workshop. Ask about screens and sound when you send a request. Rooms can be combined according to the number of guests, and an event can move to the palace beer garden in fair weather, under the chestnut trees.
For Christmas parties the kitchen proposes a festive menu or a selection from the regular menu, with mulled wine or non-alcoholic punch at the reception. Teams who want a themed evening can choose from the house dinner formats: a candlelight dinner, a dinner in the dark, a King Ludwig dinner, an Empress Sisi menu or a beer-tasting dinner. Several of these can be booked exclusively. DJs or live music can be added as modules, and the team can recommend photographers, florists and other providers.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are a stated specialty. For a wedding, the restaurant takes up to 50 guests. The Kurfürstensaal on the first floor takes up to 70, and the Max Emanuel Saal on the ground floor up to 80. Both halls can be extended with the neighboring Wittelsbacher Zimmer and Luitpold Zimmer, which leaves room for a buffet, a dance floor and entertainment. In summer, the reception and the party can move to the beer garden.
The venue helps with decoration and arranges photographers, DJs, bands, florists and car rental. A banquet folder sets out menus, buffet options and additional services.
Rooms and capacities
The site describes the rooms as follows. The restaurant, in light wood with upholstered chairs, seats about 40 at regular tables. The Max Emanuel Saal is the most decorated room, in the manner of a palace chamber. The Wittelsbacher Zimmer is paneled in cherry wood. The Kurfürstensaal on the first floor is classic with modern furnishings. The König Ludwig Stüberl, the Jagd Stubn and the Luitpold Zimmer complete the set, and the site gives no capacity for them. The site counts six separate rooms in total, so ask which ones fit your date and guest list.
Catering
Food and drink come from the house kitchen, which serves Bavarian cuisine. For events the team builds a menu or a buffet around the guest list, and vegetarian dishes are available. The restaurant is open seven days a week, so a private booking is arranged around the normal service.
History and setting
Nymphenburg Palace was the summer residence of the Wittelsbach family and counts among the large royal palaces of Europe. The Schwaige stands at the edge of the ensemble, next to the palace park, which is open for walks. The address is Schloss Nymphenburg 30, in the west of Munich.
