Ceremony Locales in Bremgarten AG

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 Gew�lbekeller 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.

Mehr Infos: Zivilstandsamt Bremgarten

Das fotogene historische St�dtchen Bremgarten bietet vier offizielle Traulokale mit recht unterschiedlichem Ambiente an.

Im Rathaus befinden sich der eher intime Gew�lbekeller mit wenigen Sitzpl�tzen sowie der grosse Stadtratsaal. Wenige Schritte vom Rathaus entfernt steht ein Brunnen, bei dem bei guter Witterung ein Apero veranstaltet werden kann (das Zivilstandsamt stellt bei Bedarf Stehtische zur Verf�gung).

In wenigen Gehminuten ist das alte Zeughaus erreicht, wo sich ein riesiger Saal mit �ber 100 Sitzpl�tzen befindet. Der grosse Platz vor dem Zeughaus wird bei guter Witterung gerne f�r den Apero benuzt (Trotte nebenan als Schlechtwetterersatz). Das Parkhaus “Obertor” f�r Rathaus und Zeughaus verwenden.

In der Kapuzinerkirche auf der anderen Reuss-Seite nebem dem Moskito-Restaurant steht der hohe Raum des inneren Chors zur Verf�gung (solche R�ume mit Kirchenambiente sind f�r Ziviltrauungen selten anzutreffen). Ein Apero kann im abgeschirmten Klosterinnenhof gefeiert werden. Parkplatz “Casino” benutzen.

Samstagstrauungen sind m�glich!

Ceremony Locale: Landvogtstube, Schloss Greifensee, Greifensee

admin — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 18:10:45 +0000

The attributes “castle” and “lake” of Schloss Greifensee do tickle the fantasy a bit, and both are true. Although not quite in the suggested opulence. The castle is nice although somewhat unexciting. Nevertheless, it is quite popular for ceremonies, which does call for a busy but unhurried schedule in the summer. The Landvogtstube, the ceremony room, is in the first floor. It’s size is modest, being suited for smaller to medium weddings. A reception can be held in the small castle garden – weather permitting – which must be reserved ahead of time. The garden is encircled with walls which provide privacy. On the ground floor and in some of the rooms of the upper floor there are additional possibilities for a catered event. Public parking is available just minutes by foot away.

Ceremony Locale: Zunfthaus zur Waag, Zurich

admin — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 17:57:13 +0000

Since quite a while already Zurich has several other ceremony locations available in addition to its not particularly attractive temporary room in the Werd (while the Stadthaus is being renovated). One of those is the Zunfthaus zur Waag. Being in the old town of Zurich on the M�nsterhof, this historic building offers all of three rooms for ceremonies. The Zunftsaal on the 3rd floor is the largest, followed by the Zunftstube (medium) and the rather intimate Waagst�bli for the short guest list – which are both on the 2nd floor. Catering is possible in the house itself and in several locations in the vicinity. If you’d like to pass the traditional wood atmosphere of the Waag for a more classically elegant look then just across the square you’ll find the fantastic rooms of the Zunfthaus zur Meisen.

Ceremony Locale: Gemeindehaussaal, Thalwil

admin — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 15:59:12 +0000

The new Gemeindehaus (town hall) on the Alte Landstrasse in Thalwil is prim and modern. The same can be said of the ceremony room on the second floor. The room itself is not very big, but sufficiently roomy for the typical wedding party which consists of close relatives and friends. The adjacent car-park is convenient. The only unflattering aspect are the yellow walls, which give every photo a color cast.

Ceremony Locale: Villette, Cham (von Planta-Saal)

admin — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 15:43:11 +0000

The villa built between 1864 und 1866 by the Schulthess family right on Lake Zug in Cham is used as a restaurant, cultural center and ceremony locale for weddings. The Villette combines several desirable features of a ceremony location: the house is elegant, it lies at the lake in the middle of a beautiful park, it has a restaurant for toasts and receptions and Saturday ceremonies are possible! The ceremony room is well-equipped: There is a ring pillow and a music center to play any CD you would bring along. Each ceremony is budgeted for 30 minutes duration.

This is why the Villette is a popular marriage destination, which results in the possibility of several wedding parties being on the villa premises at the same time. However, the entrance and exit of the ceremony room are separate, so you don’t directly get to see the previous or next wedding parties. The trip by train is convinient since the Cham station is just a few minutes away by foot. You can use the car-parks 5-10 minutes walking distance away, since the Villette doesn’t offer any parking itself.

(The church tower does not belong to the Villette but is beyong the rail tracks which pass behind the Villette)

The ceremony room is in the old town hall in the historic old town of B�lach. The long room offers a lot of space.

Ceremony Locale: Baden, Tagsatzungssaal

admin — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 15:02:39 +0000

The town hall of Baden houses the Tagsatzungssal, originally built in 1497. In Canton Argovia it is a popular location and hence booked out quickly on special wedding dates. The room is large and is big enough to accomodate big wedding parties with seats. The interior is traditional with a dark-wood mood created by the walls, ceiling and floor all covered with wood.

The nearest parking is Theaterplatz, 5 minutes by foot. A reception can be held on the same floor or in one of the restaurants nearby (for example the “Roter Turm”, where you can toast and celebrate right on the street if the weather is good).

Ceremony Locale: Portraitsaal, Lucerne

admin — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 14:55:38 +0000

The huge Portraitsaal (portrait hall) in the town hall of Lucerne is probably one of the most impressive if not beautiful wedding-ceremony halls in Switzerland, and also one of the largest. Even the largest wedding parties should fit into the room. The locale is open to weddings on only one day each week and costs a surcharge over a wedding held at the regular locale in Lucerne. Due to it’s popularity and limited availability, the ceremony duration is short – unless you book the last ceremony slot before lunch. The entrance to the ceremony room is on the rear (tower-side) of the building and access is by a wide spiral staircase.

Ceremony Locale: Museum Lindengut Winterthur

More Information: Website Lindengut

As the only official ceremony locale in the city of Winterthur, the ceremony room in Museum Lindengut on R�merstrasse 8 is well booked; also in Winter there can be a lot of ceremonies taking place. Even though the room on the first floor is quite large, it only has a handful of chairs. The rest of the maximum of 20 allowed guests must stand.

The beautiful and elegant room is decorated with old wall paintings of scenic locations of Canton Zurich. There is a waiting room on the ground floor for the guests till they are called for their turn.

Behind the villa is a beautiful park which can be used after the ceremony and if the weather is appropriate for a toast or for photos. You are not allowed to throw rice outside the villa.

Adlerstrasse running to the left of the villa can be used by the bridal couple to disembark and embark by car. There are some parking spots reserved for the couple, although they are not guaranteed to be free. Just few minutes by foot there is the public garage of Winterthur Versicherung.
