The Weingarten in Frankfurt hosts company events and private celebrations for 30 to 250 guests. It occupies a converted factory on Clemensstraße in Bockenheim, with an indoor hall, a courtyard terrace and a kitchen that works only for events. Corporate dinners, client evenings, summer parties, Christmas parties and weddings are all sold here.
Seminars and company events
The venue is built for evenings rather than conference days. Company events, client events, team events, trade fair evenings, networking, receptions and product presentations are listed on the official site. A company can take the place exclusively, so nobody else shares the room. For Christmas parties the indoor space is offered for 30 to 100 guests, with a seated dinner, a buffet or a stand-up format with wine. There is no classic closing hour, so an event can run as long as the organiser wants.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, christenings and family parties are part of the offer. A wedding can combine an aperitif with a glass of wine, a seated dinner and a party in the evening, moving between the indoor hall and the terrace. Menu, running order and atmosphere are agreed with the team for each couple. Capacity is the same as for company events, up to 250 guests with both areas in use.
Rooms and capacities
There are two areas. The indoor hall takes 30 to 100 people. The terrace in the quiet inner courtyard takes 30 to 150 people. Used together, they reach 250 guests. The building is entirely at ground level, which helps with access and with moving food and equipment. The interior follows an Art Deco design with a Mediterranean feel.
The technical set-up is simple and aimed at receptions and dinners: a professional open kitchen, cooling and freezing space, and a sound system for both inside and outside. The site does not describe a plenary room, projection equipment or break-out rooms, so a conference with screens should be discussed with the team first.
Catering
Food is in-house and is the main selling point. The kitchen holds a Bib Gourmand listing and the venue keeps its own wine cellar. Formats on offer are seated fine dining, Bib Gourmand buffets, stand-up dining, Dine & Wine evenings and beef and wine barbecues cooked on Green Egg grills. A flying buffet is also mentioned for company events. The team states that it organizes events only, so the kitchen and service are set up for groups.
History and setting
The Weingarten sits in a renovated old factory building around a calm courtyard, near Bockenheimer Warte in the west of the city center. The courtyard gives the terrace a sheltered position away from the street.
Getting there
The address is Clemensstraße 3, 60487 Frankfurt am Main. The official site gives about 6 minutes to the Messe Frankfurt trade fair grounds and about 8 minutes to the Alte Oper, which makes the venue practical for evening events that follow a fair day or a meeting elsewhere in town. Bockenheimer Warte is the closest landmark named by the venue. No on-site bedrooms are offered, so overnight guests need a hotel nearby.
