The most wonderful day of your life

Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction. 
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900-1944), French writer and pilot

You’ve found “Mr or Mrs Right”, and are now among the happy couples who are soon going to say, “I do”. Your wedding day is one of the most important days in your life and regardless of whether you’re having a grand celebration or a small family gathering, careful planning and plenty of forethought is required to create a truly memorable experience. After all, you want to look back on this special day with pleasure for many years to come.

Of course every couple has their own idea of what makes a dream wedding. Some want a romantic ceremony on a beach in the Caribbean, others want a cosmopolitan wedding in New York, while others are looking for an elegant ceremony against the spectacular backdrop of the Kaiserwasser in Vienna! One thing is certain though! The most wonderful day in your life calls for a very special venue! 

Viennese romance meets unusual design 

Celebrate your dream wedding in the stylish atmosphere of the ARCOTEL Kaiserwasser Vienna. Our staff is available to offer practical advice and assistance to take all the fuss and stress out of the preparations and will create a complete concept for your day that is tailored to your very own wishes – from organising the programme to providing specific technical equipment, stylish decorations and fulfilling special musical wishes.

Our banquet rooms are all air-conditioned and can seat up to 200 guests. If you like, you can even hold your civil ceremony at the ARCOTEL Kaiserwasser Vienna. The hotel has been inspected by the relevant municipal departments of the City of Vienna and since late 2011 has been licenced by the local authority as an approved venue. The huge panorama glass facades with a view of the extensive park and the Kaiserwasser are a very special highlight. In summer in particular, the terrace offers a unique backdrop for stunning wedding photos. The romantic suites at the ARCOTEL Kaiserwasser Vienna will turn your wedding night into an unforgettable experience. And what better way to start your married life than with breakfast in bed with a bottle of sparkling wine.

The ARCOTEL Kaiserwasser Wedding Package “How I like it” includes room hire and decorations as well as either a four course wedding-dinner or a festive buffet and beverages. In addition, the package includes a night in a romantic suite for the bridal couple with a champagne breakfast in bed. We will also conjure up a wedding cake with between two and five layers depending on your preferences and the number of your guests.

The price for the package per person: EUR 91.00.

SUSANNE POHLMANN
Susanne Pohlmann, nee Endriss was born on 7 July 1947 in Stuttgart Plochingen where she also grew up. She is married and has two children.

From antipasti to pasta and panna cotta, enjoy the dolce vita!

ENTERTAINMENT
It goes without saying that during the evening we will whisk you away on a musical journey to Italy with singer Paula Puggioni, who is already a star in Sicily. She will perform well-known songs, so there’ll be something to suit every taste.

ADMISSION

WHISKY TASTING

6 FEBRUARY 2014 starting 7.00 p.m.
As our whisky tastings have recently focused on the different regions of Scotland, it is now time to stop off at the last Scottish region, Speyside.

SPEYSIDE
Speyside is the region that runs along the river Spey and is the appellation for whiskies produced by the roughly 50 distillers in the region to distinguish them from others produced elsewhere in Scotland. Speyside is main whisky region in Scotland not just because it has the largest number of distilleries and also the most productive; it is also home to malt houses, cooperages, blenders and (independent) bottlers. Many of the Speyside distilleries are just a few kilometres apart from one another; some are even just around the corner from each other, as is the case in towns like Dufftown (sometimes called the secret capital of whisky), Elgin or Rothes. Well-known Speyside distilleries include Aberlour, Cragganmore, Glenlivet, Glenfiddich, Glen Grant and Macallan. The Malt Whisky Trail – a tourist route that links eight of the more well-known distilleries and one cooperage - is also on Speyside.

PROGRAMME
Our barkeeper and self-professed whisky lover Marcel Klopp will guide you through this whisky tasting accompanied by suitable culinary creations. An ideal opportunity to enjoy the selected specialities and talk shop with the presenter.

THE SPECIALITIES OF THE EVENING
Matching culinary creations put together by our kitchen brigade under executive chef Michael Steeb.

From the range of high-quality whiskies from Speyside:

• Balvenie 
• Glenfarclas
• Car´dhu
• Aberlour
• MaCallan
• Glenrothes

ADMISSION
Price per person: EUR 45.00
Including finger food. As the number of places is limited, we ask you to book early.

"Time for Two" - Tips for a Romantic Break in Vienna

"Time for Two" is the motto, romance in Vienna the mission. And so just for you, we set off to find the most romantic places and things to do in the city on the Danube. And we found just what we were looking for!

To geht know the city a little better, we suggest you start with a "Fiaker" ride. There is no more romantic and stylish way to explore the city than in an elegant carriage with a coachman in a bowler hat and two magnificent horses.

Fly high with the Vienna Giant Ferris Wheel. As well as a magnificent view, you can also hire a very special cabin for an unforgettable romantic experience above the city rooftops. We are, of course, talking about the crystalline cabin. The light reflections at dusk bathe the cabin in a magical light. The exquisite decorations by Swarovski create a luxurious and sparkling ambience.

Vienna also has plenty to offer if you want to enjoy the river. An evening boat trip, for example, is ideal. Starting from the city centre, you can sail along the Danube Canal and see the city by night. If you prefer to take the helm yourself, then the Alte Donau is the place to go. Simply hire a boat and enjoy the tranquility of the water and the city skyline until 11 pm.

Lovers of classical music are sure to enjoy the Schönbrunn Place Concerts. Every day the Schönbrunn Palace Orchestra and the Schönbrunn Chamber Ensemble present a different concert programme featuring the most beautiful melodies by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Johann Strauss. The unique flair of Schönbrunn palace and the classical music guarantee an unforgettable and romantic concert experience.


The flair of the ARCOTEL Wimberger Vienna offers the perfect setting for your romantic break. You have a free choice of room - from a Comfort room to the Presidential Suite. The generous buffet breakfast sets you up properly for a romantic & fun-filled day. And if you don´t even want to leave your room, then of course, we also offer a room service...
