The Conference Center at Laxenburg Castle sits within a park of some 250 hectares and leaves few wishes unfulfilled for a wedding. Baroque grand halls, wide terraces and many places out in the green, along with the history of a house where the Habsburgs held their festivities.
For couples who value modern style and timeless elegance, Laxenburg is a rewarding place. Short distances, plenty of greenery and architecture that speaks for itself in photographs.
The venue at a glance
Fully renovated in 2020, the house offers beautifully appointed rooms on freshly oiled floors, modern media and climate technology, and everything that makes a celebration run smoothly:
- four grand halls, three seminar rooms and its own theatre hall
- a magnificent entrance and a generous terrace with shading, plus a festival lawn
- 60 reserved parking spaces right by the entrance, along with four EV charging points
- furniture available on site at no charge, and a dedicated dressing room
- a modern photo booth with instant printing and social media integration
Ceremonies out in the green
Laxenburg Castle isn't limited to the main house. The sprawling park offers several places for a ceremony under the open sky:
- the Green Lusthaus
- the freshly renovated Haus der Laune
- the Concordia Temple
- and a few quiet corners besides
If you marry outdoors, it's worth planning a wet-weather alternative. The interior rooms are close at hand, which takes the fear out of any passing shower.
