Parkhotel Adler – fantastic wedding venue near Freiburg in the Black Forest
Where can we find the perfect wedding location to get married in a Black Forest hotel? As soon as the proposal has been accepted, many couples from the Freiburg area, Switzerland and Alsace start asking themselves this question. Would you like to have the entire celebration, including the ceremony, at one single location? And are you dreaming of a festive, romantic and at the same time relaxed atmosphere? In that case, why not celebrate it at the Parkhotel Adler? The charming locations in different buildings dating from various centuries, together with the outdoor areas on the natural landscape of our estate, create precisely this atmosphere almost by themselves – whether for summer or winter weddings.
We can organize everything for you, from the get-together and getting-ready to the wedding ceremony and a dream wedding reception.
Wedding ceremony and reception – venues at the Parkhotel Adler
With its variety of stylish locations, the Parkhotel Adler has always been one of the most popular wedding venues in the Black Forest. The historic and elegant modern elements here, together with the wide-open, unspoilt natural surroundings, form the perfect backdrop to hold your celebration in an atmospheric setting. You can choose between several locations for your wedding ceremony and reception – from rustic and cosy, to ultra-elegant, to lavish. The view of the surrounding countryside reinforces the feeling that this is a very special place where guests have been catered for since 1446.
Your wedding ceremony with us
Wedding ceremonies can be conducted by independent theologians on our property. For German and Swiss citizens, civil weddings can also be held on the Parkhotel Adler estate, at the town hall or in the parlour of the Hinterzarten Ski Museum, which is located in a historic farmhouse. For church weddings: the Catholic Church of Maria in der Zarten is located right next to the hotel, and the Protestant church is only a five-minute walk away. There are also numerous chapels in the surrounding area.
Privat Hotel Park
Location: The private park covers 60 percent of the area of our estate.
With its expansive meadow, rose pavilion, water points and ancient fountains, the private park has a very natural look and feel and in fine weather is suitable for receptions, non-religious ceremonies or – only for citizens of Germany and Switzerland – a civil wedding. The Pavilion in the wellness area is available as a covered location within the park. Thanks to the size of the park no limits set are placed on the number of people who can attend an event.
Pavillon “Diva”
Location: Stand-alone building on the shore of the small Lake Adler on our estate.
Our open-end-location with sun terrace and superb views. Stylish and lavish, those are the attributes of this extraordinary event location. The building is fully glazed and has space for a dance floor - depending on the number of people.
Restaurant “Bergkristall“
Location: Separate section which forms part of the “Adler Stuben” restaurant in the Black Forest House.
This atmospheric space radiates total elegance and warmth, featuring patio doors that let in plenty of light. The “Bergkristall” simultaneously has space for a dance floor and the DJ.
Restaurant “Stube“
Location: Separate area, with some historical features, in our “Adler Stuben” restaurant in the Black Forest House.
The ancient "Stube", which is very popular with guests, combines past, present and - in the case of weddings – the future, all in one. The builders, ancestors of hotel manager Katja Newman, who constructed the Black Forest House in 1639, look benevolently down on the guests from a mural. The wall cladding, some items of furniture and the tiled stove are still preserved in their original condition. The old floor beneath the carpet creaks, a reminder of all the hundreds of years over which people have walked on to enjoy good wining and dining.
Stable
Location: Secluded location by the duck pond in the wood copse of the private park.
This small, rustic cottage was once used as a horse stable. Today it is the perfect location for wedding parties who prefer a simple Black Forest style that conveys a sense of warmth and cosiness. The location beneath trees and the shaded terrace make the "Stable" ideal for a small-scale summer wedding. It can also be booked for an outdoor get-together on the eve of the wedding. Or for a snack after the wedding ceremony, before setting off for the actual celebration venue here with us. Tip: A barbecue on the terrace is extremely popular with guests! In Winter: fondue dining – the location has got heating.
