Traumgarten in Thalwil is a garden estate of 20,000 m² that organisers hire for weddings, company events, family celebrations and anniversaries. The marquee seats 200 guests and the willow ceremony site holds up to 150. The site is rented to one party per day, so no other group shares the grounds with yours.
Seminars and company events
The venue states that it suits corporate events as well as private ones. It is an outdoor setting, so it fits summer parties, client receptions, staff celebrations and product presentations better than a day of indoor meetings. A reception can start at the pavilion, move to the marquee for dinner and finish at the pond bar. The site has no conference rooms with fixed equipment, and the official text lists none.
Extra furniture and infrastructure can be rented on request, which lets you add lecterns, lounge areas or a stage for a company programme.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are the first use the venue names. The willow temple was built for ceremonies of up to 150 people. The pavilion beside the pool is set up for the aperitif and bar service. The pond bar suits welcome drinks or a cocktail corner. The marquee then holds the dinner and the party for 200 guests.
The venue works with wedding planners, photographers and decorators that it lists on its site, and you can bring one of them or choose from that list.
Rooms and capacities
The site plan shows twelve numbered areas. The pavilion is for aperitifs and bar service. The marquee has room for 200 people. The willow temple takes ceremonies of up to 150 people. A dressing room serves performers. There are toilet blocks, a playground, a catering and staff area, and an office. A beekeeping teaching stand of the Horgen district also stands in the grounds. The pond bar is for welcome drinks.
The rental covers the whole site, including cleaning of the toilets and about 30 parking places. The existing wooden and stone outdoor furniture offers about 40 seats and is free to use. A floor plan, an inventory with example photos and an information sheet are available as downloads on the official page.
Catering
There is no in-house restaurant. The grounds include a catering and staff area where an external caterer prepares the food. The venue publishes a list of partner caterers, among them providers of grill menus, premium catering and party service, and you pick the one that fits your event. Hire of tableware, DJs and other extras goes through the same partner network.
