Villa Post hosts seminars, conferences, corporate dinners and weddings in the center of Aarhus, with rooms for 15 to 250 seated guests. The venue is the former post and telegraph building on Kannikegade, by the architect Hack Kampmann, and it runs its own restaurant and bar.
Seminars and company events
The meeting side of Villa Post is organized around packages for short and long days. A morning meeting and a half-day meeting each run four hours, and a full-day meeting runs eight hours. All three start at a minimum of four guests and include a meeting room with an 86-inch screen, with coffee, tea, water and light snacks available in the room during the day. Breakfast, a lunch dish or an afternoon cake are added depending on the package. For larger formats the house also builds tailored programs, with catering and schedule adapted to the group.
Postsalen, the main hall, takes up to 150 people for talks, presentations, conferences and workshops, and it suits a combined meeting, reception and networking day. Fløjen, directly connected to it, seats up to 100 and works as a breakout space or as an extension of larger events. The two Salons hold up to 40 guests each. The Postmaster's Office is a small meeting room for up to 15 people, used for board meetings, strategy sessions and confidential talks.
Weddings and receptions
Villa Post also holds weddings, confirmations, christenings, memorial gatherings and Christmas lunches. For a wedding, couples can choose between the smaller rooms for a close celebration or the main hall with seating for up to 250 guests, using the adjoining rooms. The team plans the day from the welcome drink to late-night food, and the restaurant kitchen prepares the meals.
Rooms and capacities
Postsalen has an 8-meter ceiling and holds 100 guests in its restaurant layout. With the adjoining rooms, seated capacity grows to 200 to 250. Fløjen consists of two rooms next to the main hall with space for 100 guests. The Salons are two rooms of up to 40 guests each. The Postmaster's Office takes up to 15. All rooms have air conditioning, the house has free Wi-Fi throughout, and a staffed cloakroom is available for larger events. The smaller rooms can serve as breakout rooms for group work.
Catering
Food is handled by the house restaurant and its kitchen, for meetings as well as for celebrations. A meeting package includes breakfast, a lunch dish with a soft drink or beer, or an afternoon cake, depending on its length. For weddings and larger dinners the menu is arranged with the team around the guest count and the format of the day.
History and setting
The building was the post and telegraph office of Aarhus, and the main hall keeps the proportions of that function, including the 8-meter ceiling. Today the historic rooms combine with a working restaurant and bar, which gives a corporate dinner or a reception a venue that is already staffed and equipped.
