About The Villa Schweizerhof Lucerne Wedding Venue

Haldenstrasse 30, 6006 Luzern, Switzerland 

The history of Villa Schweizerhof Lucerne dates back to 1860, when the Zingg family acquired a plot of land near Lake Lucerne. They wasted no time constructing a mansion that soon became known as The Villa. As rumors started to emerge that the Gotthard Railway might install a nearby stop, the mansion was scooped up by the Hauser family, who proceeded to turn the grounds into a hotel perfect for potential travelers. The rumors proved to be a bust, and the Hauser family instead used it as a summer residence. For the next 70 years, the family used it as a residence until it was transformed into an apartment building complete with an onsite restaurant. Today, the building serves as a five-star hotel with 101 rooms where you can stay in luxury. In addition to their world-class accommodations, they offer event services guaranteed to create the day of your dreams! 

Details of the Grounds

When you book your wedding at Villa Schweizerhof Lucerne, you can spend your weekend relaxing in one of their suites. Not only will this give you a convenient spot to stay, but it will also give you a stylish spot to get ready with your wedding party once your big day arrives! You will get the iconic treatment celebrities, musicians, writers, and politicians have all received throughout your time here. 

For your ceremony, you will have several options. If you would prefer an outdoor ceremony, the outdoor terrace is your spot. This area is verdant with a flat lawn where your guests can comfortably sit. The area is enclosed by short hedges that offer the feeling of privacy without blocking the lakeside views. You can place your altar at the front of the yard and have a legendary backdrop as you exchange your vows! Once your ceremony has finished, your guests can head to the shaded part of the terrace and grab cocktails that they can enjoy at the tables set up next to the estate. 

For those who would prefer an intimate indoor ceremony, the Boardroom and Salon will be your spot. This area is refined with brass chandeliers and bay windows that can be opened to let in the views. Brass accents add a feeling of refinement while the navy patterned carpet pulls the entire look together. With this space, you will have direct access to an outdoor deck where your guests can head outside to celebrate once the ceremony is over.

Stunning Receptions At Villa Schweizerhof Lucerne

For your reception, you are going to have a few options. For those who would prefer an outdoor party, you can remain on the terrace, where you will have a sunny afternoon overlooking the water! If you would prefer something inside, the restaurant is ideal. The area is a little more intimate, with several spaces connected by large walkways. Crystal chandeliers provide light, while the tan walls offer a neutral backdrop for nearly every wedding style. With this area, you will have direct access to the terrace so your guests can move in or out as they please. It’s also a great option for your farewell! 

If none of these spots suit you, the villa works in connection with Hotel Schweizerhof Luzern and offers spacious ballrooms where you can party late into the night! They also offer shuttle services for all of your guests. Villa Schweizerhof is able to host up to 80 guests, and they can combine rooms to suit your party.

From the Belle Epoque buildings to the bridge that extends over the water, you will be next to so many spots that will shine through your pictures!
