More info: Marriage Registry Office Bremgarten
The historic, quaint and photogenic town of Bremgarten has four official ceremony locales for marriages, each of which have quite a different atmosphere.
In the old Rathaus there are the intimate Gewölbekeller with just a few seats and the large Stadtratsaal. Just a few steps away from the Rathaus is an old fountain where a toast or small reception can be held, weather permitting. The marriage registry office can provide stand-up tables.
A few minutes away by foot is the old Zeughaus which contains the largest ceremony hall in Bremgarten, capable of seating more than 100 people. The large square in front of the building can be used for a reception in good weather and the Trotte next door as a fallback in case of rain. Use the “Obertor” car park both for the Rathaus and the Zeughaus.
On the other side of the Reuss river you’ll find the rather high-ceilinged inner choir in the Kapuziner-Church (just next to the Moskito-Restaurant serving Mexican cuisine). Such rooms within a church are rare for civil ceremonies in Switzerland. In the enclosed cloister garden a reception is possible. Use the “Casino” parking next door.
Saturday ceremonies are available.
