Ceremony

Get married in the forest chapel where civil and symbolic ceremonies can take place. Protestant and Old Catholic pastors are allowed to perform weddings here but at this time, Roman Catholic priests cannot administer religious weddings in the forest.

The forest elopement spot can hold up to 100 guests but it’s most beautiful with a small circle of only 60 people seated on tree benches. It’s best to schedule your big day on a summer month to ensure warm weather during the ceremony. This way, you can maximize the experience of being surrounded by beautiful clusters of tall trees whilst breathing in the fresh breeze that they bring.

There’s an alternative spot for indoor weddings should the weather fail to cooperate. The venue offers a rustic plant house with wooden beams and minimalist interiors for a gorgeous indoor elopement ceremony in Austria. It’s a perfect spot for an intimate affair that accommodates up to 70 people.

Location

This extraordinary wedding location is hidden in the magical town of Edelstauden approximately 30 minutes from Graz. The exact spot for wedding ceremonies is a romantic forest chapel, which can be reached a few steps from the manor.
