Vorwerck can host a company dinner, a client evening, a Christmas party or a wedding celebration for 15 to 140 guests, with a stage, sound, lighting, screens and technicians on site and live piano entertainment built into the evening. It is an entertainment restaurant on Karl-Marx-Straße in Berlin-Neukölln, in the same building as the Neuköllner Oper.
Seminars and company events
The business side is run as Vorwerck Event, which says it has 20 years of experience staging evenings. A company booking covers the stage, sound and light, screens and the technical team. The lighting can be set to brand colors from 16 RGB tones, with separate zones for the reception, dinner, show and party. A logo or key visual can be placed on the white grand piano, and the team offers a branded photo wall, a retro photo booth, logos at the entrance and on napkins, and a dessert in the shape of the company logo. The running order, music and show segments, such as a piano show or a piano quiz, are planned around the occasion and the guests. A short personalized trailer can be produced to announce the evening. The format suits dinners and celebrations rather than working sessions with breakouts.
Weddings and receptions
Vorwerck stages weddings to order: the couple describes the day they want, and the team builds the evening around it, with show elements and a song written for the couple. Smaller private groups can book the Erlebnis Dinner for friends and family or a candlelight dinner for two.
Rooms and capacities
The Grand Salon is the main room, with a star-lit ceiling, chandeliers and the white grand piano on its stage. Next to it, the Vorwerck Lounge serves à la carte, out of sight of the stage but within earshot of the music. A separate candlelit room, the Separee, takes small private dinners. For company events the restaurant as a whole takes 15 to 140 guests. On ordinary evenings the house limits itself to ten tables. The events team also offers other formats, including a hall for 60 to 250 guests with a water terrace, a residence for 10 to 40 and an event boat for 10 to 60, and says events can scale to 500 guests; their locations are given on request.
Catering
The kitchen composes menus of three or five courses, with vegetarian and vegan versions, and allergies are handled in advance. Drinks packages, wine pairings and cocktails can be added, and the Lounge also serves dishes à la carte.
History and setting
Vorwerck and the Neuköllner Oper share a house and an entrance, so guests can dine before a performance, go upstairs for the show and come back for dessert. With every event booked, Vorwerck supports a school-building project that opened its first school on Lombok, Indonesia, in 2019 and aims for 50 schools by 2050.
Getting there
The U7 line stops at Rathaus Neukölln and Karl-Marx-Straße, both close to the door. The nearest car park is the Park One garage at Rollbergstraße 10. The restaurant opens from Wednesday to Sunday in the evening and can open on Monday and Tuesday for private events.
