Wedding Venue
One of the key decisions for your wedding celebration is undoubtedly the venue you choose.
Finding your Wedding Venue
First of all, I recommend you start the process of looking for a wedding venue as quickly as possible. Ideally, you start at least a year before your planned wedding date.
Why start your search so early?
Wedding venues in Munich are popular and can book up relatively quickly.
Especially wedding dates in the spring/summer (from May to September) are in high demand.
In order to secure a reservation for your desired date and venue, give yourself plenty of time to find the right location.
If you do not have a preferred venue already in mind, here is how you could approach your search.
Some of the key factors to consider when choosing the right wedding venue in and around Munich are:
- Size of your wedding party (number of guests)
- Level of formality / style or “feel” of the venue
- Indoor / outdoor section(s) and seating available
- Accessibility of the venue by car/train/bus
- Availability of the venue on your preferred wedding date, total hours of rental
- Space for ceremony available or not
Preliminary Headcount
It makes sense to start with creating a preliminary guest list before you start looking at wedding venues.
It can be useful to have a minimum number of guests who you absolutely want to invite, no matter what.
In addition to your ideal number, add a small buffer for the maximum number of guests that you do not want to exceed.
Once you have figured out your approximate headcount, you can narrow down your venue search to those places that are able to accommodate the size of your wedding party.
Wedding Venue Atmosphere and Style
You could then think about the “feel” of your ideal wedding venue: Are you looking for a classic wedding venue or see yourself at an intimate gathering at a local restaurant, or even envision yourself celebrating on castle grounds? Maybe a more modern, trendy venue such as a ballroom in a hotel is more for you? The answer to that question about the style or feel of your dream venue should help narrow down the list of available locations in Munich.
Seating and Dinner Options
Another aspect you might want to consider is whether the venue has indoor / outdoor (or both) seating available, especially considering the season that your wedding falls into.
Furthermore, knowing what kind of food you want to serve at your wedding might also help you find the right venue.
That is because some of the wedding venues in Munich cannot accommodate a seated dinner but instead offer buffet-style dining options.

Visiting the Venues
Once you have narrowed down a shortlist of wedding venues in Munich, contact them to arrange a visit. That way, you can get an impression of the venue in person and understand what is included in their offer.
