A Real Wedding at the Eventum: From the Garden Ceremony to the Late-Night Party

2. November 2026

A wedding cerem­o­ny in the garden, a cham­pa­gne recep­ti­on under the open sky and a party that went on late into the night: this is what a real wedding at our Eventum looked like.

Anyone plan­ning a wedding near Hei­del­berg wants to know one thing above all: what does a day like this really feel like at the venue? On 28 August 2026, we had the plea­su­re of hosting a wedding here. The couple kindly allowed us to share their day with you, and we are truly gra­teful.

Ceremony at the pavilion

The white pavi­li­on stands in the middle of our garden. This is where the outdoor cerem­o­ny took place. Before­hand, the white benches were already set up on the lawn.

Then the garden filled up. Flowers on the pavi­li­on, all the guests close by and a cele­brant telling the cou­ple’s story: that is all it takes for a moment ever­yo­ne will remem­ber for a long time.

Add to that the view over the hills of the Kur­pfalz region. And because the garden is right next to the Eventum, it is only a few steps from the cerem­o­ny to the cham­pa­gne recep­ti­on.

Champagne reception under the open sky

After the vows, it is time to raise a glass. High tables and long tables on the terrace in front of the Eventum, with the garden right next to it: there is plenty of room for con­gra­tu­la­ti­ons and con­ver­sa­ti­on.

The hotel is always in sight. Guests tra­vel­ling from further away have their room just a few steps away and do not have to worry about a thing.

Time for two in the garden

The couple did not have to go far for their por­traits. Flowe­ring beds, winding paths and quiet corners: our garden has lots of lovely spots, so you never have to leave the venue.

Then it was on to the ball­room. Round tables laid in white, golden accents and lots of gree­n­ery: the bright, modern hall can be styled to suit you and has room for up to 120 guests.

The details were spot on, too. The seating plan and menu were shown on digital screens, and a red carpet was rolled out in front of the photo mirror. By the way, the balloon deco­ra­ti­ons, photo mirror and LOVE letters come from one of our part­ners. Just ask us for their details.

Then came the first dance. From that moment on, the dance floor was well and truly open.

When darkness falls

As the sun goes down, the fairy lights come on in the garden. The party carries on outside until 10 pm, then moves into the hall with no fixed end time.

Late in the evening, the couple posed once more in front of the illu­mi­na­ted LOVE letters in the garden.
