How our fees work

Our planning fees are always covered in your wedding package. They are set based on the typical effort and level of responsibility each service takes to organise, and not as a percentage of your budget, i.e. a bigger budget does not mean a bigger fee for us.

Your wedding at Hochzeitswald

Enjoy Austria’s natural breeze as you recite your vows in the midst of a beautiful forest near Graz. This European venue for weddings is made only for couples who dream of a unique adventure elopement in a far-off paradise. It consists of a private estate, a manor, a plant house, and a hidden forest chapel with exhilarating views of the meadows, pastures, and mountains.

It guarantees absolute tranquility because the entire venue is tucked in the middle of the forest, which makes it virtually invisible from the public eye.

Reception

If you will choose this elopement venue in Austria for your destination wedding in Austria, we’re sure one of the reasons is that you want a dreamy outdoor wedding surrounded by nature.

If that’s the case, then you’re in for a treat because this venue guarantees not only a forest wedding ceremony but a picnic in the meadows or cocktails in the forest!

Other options for an outdoor reception are the estate’s garden and the grassy side of the pool overlooking the forest and the mountains.

A table can also be arranged inside the plant house for a small group of 25 people. This setup guarantees a rustic and nature-inspired intimate reception. Ask us how you can start planning your destination wedding in this forest elopement venue in Austria.

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.
