The Liechtenstein GARDEN PALACE is a unique Viennese wedding venue, combining the splendor of historical baroque interiors with the natural beauty of its magnificent gardens, all of this right in the Austrian capital city, Vienna, very close to its city center. Just as the Liechtenstein CITY PALACE in the city center, this palace venue is available only for exclusive event hire: from small-scale to large-scale events such as cocktail receptions, gala dinners, concerts, weddings, film- and photo-shoots, lectures, company presentations or seminars. Guided tours of the Princely Collections as part of an event package are an exclusive highlight.

The GARDEN PALACE is simply the perfect choice for couples looking to have part of their wedding celebrations outdoor, surrounded by nature, and at the same time enjoy the comfort and options of a big city. The gardens of the palace are the perfect setting for a marriage ceremony, a cocktail reception, and even a wedding dinner or a pre- or post-wedding event. The Liechtenstein GARDEN PALACE is for sure the setting to dream of for a spectacular ceremony, an elegant royal dinner or a very exclusive party.

Key Facts

Ideal For
  • weddings or other events with up to 120 guests, if the ceremony, reception, dinner and party are to take place at the palace, without additional costs for outdoor tents (ceremony back-up plan – Sala Terrena seating max. 120 guests with direct view to the ceremony stage)
  • weddings or other events with up to 350 guests, when the ceremony takes place at another venue or church, or when building a tent / glasshouse in the garden
  • surprise marriage proposals
Venue Type and Aesthetics

Historical palace belonging to the Princely Family of Liechtenstein, with stunning baroque and neo-Rococo elements

Seasonality

Since the venue also offers indoor event spaces – all climatized – an event here is possible anytime, regardless of weather conditions. Should an event be planned for a number of guests higher than 120, with a ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and party taking place at the palace, a marquee should be considered as back-up plan in case of bad weather.
