Conferences for up to 250 people seated in rows, company dinners, Christmas parties, weddings and receptions for up to 300 guests take place at the WHITE Spreelounge, an event venue with four rooms and three terraces on the Spree River at Edisonstraße 63 in Berlin-Schöneweide.
Seminars and company events
The venue sells conferences and meetings, hybrid events streamed live, silent conferences, company receptions and dinners, and Christmas parties. Each booking comes with a projector, screen, lighting, outdoor spots, a sound system, a wireless microphone, Wi-Fi throughout the building, conference seating, five standing tables, a flip chart and use of the terrace. A conference technician, cloakroom service, a lectern, a moderation case and podium chairs can be added, and larger technical requests are quoted through a technology partner. The team plans seating, technology and timing with the organizer beforehand. From late November, the site also hosts Oh Du Schöneweide, an indoor and outdoor Christmas market that companies can combine with a seasonal party.
Weddings and receptions
Couples can hold a free, non-religious ceremony by the river and the party in the same building, and the venue also hosts birthdays and private celebrations. The terraces on the water serve for drinks receptions in the warmer months, and guests can arrive by boat at the venue's own landing stage.
Rooms and capacities
The ALVA Lounge, an industrial loft of 120 square meters with its own Spree terrace, takes 120 for a reception, 50 in rows, 40 in parliament layout, 30 in a U-shape and 60 at banquet tables. LichterMeer, the festival hall of 220 square meters, also with a terrace, holds 150 standing, 90 in rows, 60 in parliament layout, 96 for a banquet and 95 for a gala. In the Lighthouse building, the Panoramalounge, with a curved glass front and a 180-degree view of the river, receives up to 180 guests and has its own terrace. The Großes Theater, the largest room at 280 square meters, takes 300 for a reception, 250 in rows, 95 in parliament layout, 160 at banquet tables and 162 for a gala. These are maximum figures: a stage, technical setup or buffet reduces them.
Catering
The in-house kitchen prepares everything from coffee breaks and lunch to dinner. Formats include buffet, set menu, flying buffet, live cooking and a midnight snack, and they can be combined over the course of one event.
History and setting
The rooms occupy a former lamp factory in Oberschöneweide, an old industrial district on the bank of the Spree in southeast Berlin. The ALVA Lounge keeps the loft character of the building, while the Lighthouse opens fully onto the water.
