The most beautiful wedding venues in Zurich | DJ Daniel

Where should we say "I do"? As Wedding DJ from Zurich with more than 300 weddings I have some Wedding venues in Zurich and the whole of Switzerland to get married and help you answer this question.

Different locations are deliberately listed: From lakeside restaurants to 5-star hotels to rustic alternatives, everything is represented. This blog post is divided as follows:

 

 

I don't know the prices and conditions of the individual locations in detail, but I can provide helpful tips on the locations and my personal experiences give away. Instead, I can give you an insight into my Wedding DJ rates give.

It is essential to bear the following in mind:

  • Popular Zurich wedding venues for Saturdays in the high season are approximately 1.5 years in advance booked.
  • Popular dates or snapshots are booked out much earlier.
  • Consider participating in a Friday to get married. It's cheaper with more choice of free dates (and also 2 days to sober up...)
  • Try a date in the Low season to select.

Location for weddings in the city of Zurich: My favourites

First of all, I present my favourite locations for getting married in the city of Zurich. Some of them are also first-class restaurants or offer a cultural programme. I personally like to have special venues and they don't necessarily have to be classic and romantic wedding halls. These are My favourite locations in the city of Zurich:

  • Oerlikon foundry: Celebrate in an industrial ambience
  • Barefoot bar Zurich: Open-air location and dancing on boards above Lake Zurich
  • Bow FClub atmosphere in an urban neighbourhood
  • The Waid: The best view of the city and a young, motivated service team
  • Daizy: Urban and friendly event hall
  • Chez SMITH: Celebrate in style in an urban and hip location

Giesserei Oerlikon: Industrial chic with top service

For me, the best wedding location in Zurich is the Giesserei Oerlikon

The Foundry in Oerlikon with its post-industrial charm is one of the most exciting wedding venues in Zurich and the whole of Switzerland and is exactly my style. Old steel pipes still hang in the rooms, which combined with the high factory windows and modern lounge elements create a unique atmosphere - ideal for unforgettable and exclusive vintage weddings.

There are two main rooms available for weddings: «Foundry classic» (capacity up to 140 guests) with the combinable rooms «Cynar Room» for dinner and the adjoining fireplace room for the following party. The opposite «Workshop», which, in addition to the industrial crane room, boasts an 8 metre long modern bar and lounge and can cater for up to 80 guests.

The Giesserei team is extremely experienced: The service is highly professional and the cuisine sets high standards. As the Giesserei is not a typical summer venue, it is also ideal as a first-class wedding location in Zurich outside the summer months or as a wedding reception venue. High-quality event location for company celebrations.

I have hung up over 30 times in the foundry, almost 10 times as a Event DJ and about 20 times as a wedding DJ. Anyone who prefers industrial chic to a classic wedding venue in Zurich will get their money's worth at the Giesserei.

Barefoot bar Zurich: Open-air wedding on Lake Zurich

The barefoot bar in Zurich with breathtaking lake location is one of the most beautiful summer locations in Zurich. The party takes place in the open air on wooden planks directly over the water. It is an indescribable feeling to dance barefoot on the boards and smell the lake. While the venue is open to the public on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, it can be hired as a Zurich wedding venue or for other events on the other days.

As the pool is open during the day and everything takes place outside, partying is only permitted between 8pm and 11pm. So it's worth having a warm drink beforehand... Otherwise, the pretty bar staff behind the brightly lit bar can serve excellently prepared drinks. Incidentally, the young staff at the Barfussbar are highly efficient and speedy. The aperitif, the food and the party are all organised without any problems during these three hours.

I've been able to experience many wild parties at the Barfussbar in all kinds of weather and have DJ'd there 19 times. If you're looking for a unique open-air location to get married and celebrate in Zurich and don't want to party until the early hours of the morning, this is the place for you.

The Waid: Breathtaking views combined with excellent service

Wedding location in Zurich: The Waid
copyright Die Waid
The restaurant «Die Waid» is known throughout the city for its Spectacular view over the city of Zurich. But «Die Waid» has other trump cards up its sleeve. There are two excellent dining restaurants with variable menus and the two rooms «Das grosse Jahreszeiten Restaurant» or «Der Rote Saal», both with adjoining terraces, are ideal as elegant Zurich wedding venues. For a larger wedding party, the halls can be combined. Although I have already played in both rooms, «Der Rote Saal» is better suited as a dance floor.

For me, the greatest asset of «Der Waid» is its young and long-standing staff, who charismatically focus on the satisfaction of their (wedding) guests. Bridal couples looking for an elegant location with a relaxed atmosphere should definitely take a look at «Der Waid».

Daizy: Urban and friendly event hall

wedding location in zuerich: Daizy
copyright: Daizy
Daizy is at home in the Binz and is a very professional Zurich wedding location and praises itself with its healthy cuisine. The multifunctional event hall can be used in many different ways and is the perfect size for a private party. With a full extension, large weddings can also be organised, but even with a small celebration, the hall never looks too big. A big advantage of the Daizy is a really good music system that can be used by the wedding party.

What I particularly like is the informal service provided by its young staff. All guests will inevitably feel welcome. Although the location is not a typical summer venue, a terrace can be used. You can also book me as an event DJ at Daizy. book, as it is also ideal for Corporate Events or also Birthday parties offers.

chez Smith: Urban, hip and young

wedding venue in zuerich: chez smith

Celebrate in style! The former urban restaurant and wine bar «chez Smith» (formerly Smith and the luma) may have officially closed, but the premises are still available to rent. At least their wine shop is still in business. That’s why I’m keeping this venue on the list.

The «chez Smith» scores highly for its Versatility in event planning and its urban space. There are various rooms that can be considered as first-class Zurich wedding venues. First and foremost are the two rooms in the Gallery, which are connected by a high-quality music system suitable for DJs. One floor below is the «Printers» and this room is perfect for a wild party due to its size.

I've also been to «chez Smith» as an event DJ or birthday DJ committed and appreciate their service and the motivated young employees very.

Wedding location on Lake Zurich

Wedding location on Lake Zurich

Restaurants or hotels near the lake are naturally very popular for weddings. Around the city of Zurich there are some great Zurich wedding venues in the immediate vicinity of the city directly on Lake Zurich. A few individual locations are a little further away, but I will list them anyway.

These are the addresses that convinced me the most:

Boutique Hotel Sonne Küsnacht: Romance in a romantic ballroom

Wedding location in Zurich: Seehotel Sonne
copyright Seehotel Sonne Küsnacht

The Boutiquehotel Sonne in Küsnacht is one of my absolute favourite wedding venues in Zurich and the whole of Switzerland. This 4-star superior boutique hotel and its idyllic garden restaurant, with its traditional menus, is just under 5 minutes’ drive from where I live and therefore has excellent links to the city of Zurich.

The hotel is perfect for weddings: Directly on the shore of Lake Zurich is the dreamlike garden location for the wedding aperitif (including the boat landing stage). The evening programme takes place in the historic ballroom, which can accommodate up to 110 guests. The candlelit hall with its large chandelier and tastefully painted ceilings is one of Zurich's most romantic wedding venues. The Sonne also scores with its first-class culinary offer and its dedicated staff. Another major advantage is that the bride and groom and their wedding guests can stay in one of the hotel’s 40 rooms.

I’ve hosted 18 weddings at the Sonne and can highly recommend the Boutiquehotel Sonne to any couple looking for a romantic wedding venue in Zurich.

Moschti Stäfa: Event location with a marvellous garden

The wedding location in Stäfa: Moschti
copyright: Moschti Stäfa
The enchanting Moschti in Stäfa is located on the same side of the lake as the sun. Unlike most of the other venues listed, the Moschti is a pure event location with its own catering and professional service team. The Moschti is situated on a terraced level, surrounded by trees and vines with View of the magnificent Lake Zurich. It is precisely this large, romantic park that is the real highlight and makes the Moschti a top wedding location in the Zurich area.

I recommend every bridal couple to use the garden for the wedding ceremony, aperitifs and/or dinner. If the weather doesn't play ball, the indoor rooms are also perfect for an unforgettable celebration. The Moschti is perfect for wedding parties of 60 to 100 people. A big plus point compared to other wedding venues in Zurich is the powerful music system that can be used.

Marina Lachen is about as far away from Zurich as the Moschti, just on the opposite side of the lake. I have been a regular guest at Marina Lachen since 2012 as a Wedding DJ and know the restaurant very well. Your Location near the harbour in Lachen SZ and the varied catering offer make Marina Lachen a top address and, thanks to years of experience, a first-class wedding location on Lake Zurich. Not only the location directly on Lake Zurich with its huge park, but also the proximity to the registry office and the romantic boutique hotel with its stylish rooms are big plus points for getting married here.

Not only the name is unique, but also its location.

Whether on the spacious terrace or in the romantic restaurant, the L'O radiates elegance. With a capacity of up to 100 guests, it can also cater for large parties.

Despite its large lakeside terrace, the L'O is an excellent indoor wedding venue. The large interior with its small partition is ideal for a party.

So far, I have had the honour of setting the tone three times at this wonderful location and hope to be there again soon.

Great hotels and guild houses as wedding venues in Zurich

There are many 4- and 5-star hotels in the city of Zurich, some of which are also very popular for weddings. A guild house can also be booked for a celebration. My favourites are the following:

I have a long-standing friendship with the Hotel Zürichberg and between 2006 and 2011 I was even resident DJ in the beautiful hotel bar. Since 2009 I've also been a regular DJ there. Wedding DJ in use.

In addition to its stylish bar, the 4-star hotel has a lounge with a spacious terrace and a first-class restaurant with changing menus on the lower floor. The highlight for weddings, however, is the panoramic view over the city of Zurich. Because of this idyllic backdrop, I recommend every bridal couple to hold their aperitif and even the wedding ceremony in the picturesque garden area. For the wedding dinner and after-party, Zurich wedding venues include Kursaal 1 with a capacity of 60 guests and Kursaal 2 with a capacity of 40 guests. Each of these rooms is a first-class wedding venue. Both can be booked individually or even better as a combination. The quality of the food and the service of his motivated banqueting staff has always been impeccable and of a very high standard for years. I look forward to being back on the mountain soon...

In the city of Zurich there are several Guild houses which can also be used as Zurich wedding venues. Anyone who gets married in a guild house will have an unforgettable wedding. Fairytale wedding celebrate in a romantic ambience.

What they all have in common is the impeccable service and the traditional menu selection for the wedding dinner. The historic rooms can also be used for weddings and ceremonies.

As the guild houses are located in Zurich's old town, there are no parking spaces. This is also a small disadvantage for me as a DJ and unloading the music system is quite time-consuming. Nevertheless, I always enjoy being in a guild house.

Getting married in a rustic setting

There are some forest huts or country houses in Switzerland that are also used for weddings. In my opinion, however, very few of them are suitable for weddings. Most of them are better suited to birthday parties. For me, however, there is one exception that I absolutely have to mention:

Am Charrewäg: In the countryside with top service

Wedding location with a rustic ambience: Am Charrewäg in Illnau
copyright: Am Charrewäg
If you would like to get married in a rustic country house, you can't avoid the wedding location «At the Charrewäg» in Illnau. The romantic rose garden with its many small seating niches offers a very romantic ambience. The aperitif will take place there with delicious homemade syrups. The generous barbecue buffet is also set up in the garden. Dining and partying take place in the two barns. Of course, weddings and ceremonies can also be held in the garden.

The all-rounder and lateral thinker Kaspar Kuhn is one of the most talented event managers I know. He thinks of every detail. The «Am Charrewäg» venue also has one of the best music systems I've ever seen. I really enjoy working there and am already looking forward to my next gig.
