Zauberglanz

Zauberglanz is a professional childcare and kids' entertainment company operating across all of Switzerland. The business was founded in 2011 and now operates with more than 50 staff members, and the site states they have worked at over 9,000 events. Its core service is sending carers to a wedding or celebration who look after the children during the event and keep them busy with games, crafts and activities, so that parents can enjoy the day without worry.

The Wedding Service

For weddings specifically, Zauberglanz's role is to allow couples to invite families with young children while ensuring the adults can fully enjoy the celebration. As their site states, the goal is that "auch die Erwachsenen ihr Fest entspannt geniessen können" (the adults can enjoy their celebration relaxed). The homepage says the team uses play, creativity, magic, experiments and varied activities to create special experiences and what it calls Zauberglanzmomente, Zauberglanz moments, for the children. The wedding section adds that with the games and colorful craft activities, no child wants to go home before the parents: "möchte kein Kind mehr vor den Eltern nach Hause".

The business is structured around private clients on one side and corporate clients on the other. For private clients, they list three main services: weddings (Hochzeiten), family celebrations and private occasions (Familienfeiern & Private Anlässe), and children's birthday parties (Kindergeburtstage). Weddings sit first in the private-client menu and have their own section on the homepage. On the business side, the menu lists events for customers and staff, trade fairs and congresses, hotels and restaurants, and company holiday childcare.

Coverage and Availability

The homepage says: "Wir sind in der ganzen Schweiz für Sie da und begleiten Events auf Wunsch auch weltweit" (we are there for you throughout Switzerland and, on request, also accompany events worldwide). Each event, it says, is planned individually according to the client's needs and ideas. For a couple planning from abroad, that means the venue's location is not in itself a reason to look elsewhere, though travel costs are something to ask about.

Team and Experience

The "Gut zu wissen" (good to know) box on the homepage states that Zauberglanz has more than 50 staff and has worked at over 9,000 events. The business has been running since 2011, and its footer describes it as a Kindereventagentur, a children's event agency. That scale sets it apart from a single face painter or nanny: a large wedding with many children is within the size of events it describes. The site does not describe the staff's training or roles.

The site emphasizes that childcare is their core expertise ("Kinderbetreuung ist unsere Kernkompetenz") and their passion, and they stress that each event is planned individually according to the couple's needs and ideas ("Jedes Event wird individuell nach Ihren Bedürfnissen und Vorstellungen geplant"). This commitment to customization matters for a wedding, because children's ages and temperaments vary widely, and a one-size-fits-all activity program does not work well.

The testimonials underscore reliability. One client, Gerald, wrote that their care at Schloss Monfort was world class, that "Eltern und Kinder waren begeistert" (parents and children were delighted) and that the staff created "tolle Freiräume" (wonderful spaces) for parents to enjoy the celebration. Adrian Schlund wrote that the children had so much fun and that he would book them again and again. Danielle thanked the team for a company event in Berlin, which matches the site's offer to work abroad on request. The testimonials on the homepage date from 2016 and 2017, and there are further references, an impressions gallery and a guest book in the menu.

Booking and Contact

The site lists a phone number (+41 44 586 32 20) and an email (service@zauberglanz.com). A second number, +41 79 615 4668, is given for the Swiss head office and for contact from abroad. The site states they are happy to go the extra mile for clients ("Wir gehen gerne die Extrameile") and "geht nicht gibt es für uns nicht" (for us, there is no such thing as impossible). The box closes with the line that the company's biggest reward is the glow in the children's eyes at the end of the event.

The site does not publish specific pricing, package details, or a booking deadline. Couples will need to contact Zauberglanz directly to discuss the size of their guest list, the number and ages of children expected, the length of the event, and their requirements. Useful points for that first conversation: whether the children will have a room of their own or a corner of the lawn, the youngest and oldest ages in the group, and how the handover works at the start and end of the event. The footer links to the general terms (AGB), which a couple should read before booking.

For a destination wedding, the stated coverage of all of Switzerland, and of events abroad on request, means a couple can ask for a remote venue without expecting a refusal on distance alone.

What Is Not Settled

The site does not detail the specific activities offered, the caregiver-to-child ratio, or what qualifications the carers have; the site describes the care only as professional and loving. Couples should clarify what the program looks like for different age groups. The site does not state whether the team arrives early for setup or what their backup plan is if a carer becomes unavailable.

For international couples, the site does not explicitly state whether staff speak English or other languages. The site itself, its testimonials and its navigation are all in German. Non-German speakers should confirm at the time of inquiry whether Zauberglanz can provide English-speaking staff or if communication will be in German.

Who It Suits

Zauberglanz is ideal for couples who want professional, experienced childcare at a wedding anywhere in Switzerland. The founding year of 2011, more than 50 staff and over 9,000 events describe a sizeable company rather than a one-person business. The service works particularly well for destination weddings where parents are traveling from abroad and can be confident that their children will be well cared for and entertained. Because each event is planned individually, the service can be discussed for a small family wedding as well as a large celebration.

The service is less suitable for couples who need detailed pricing in advance or who require English-language communication throughout the booking process. It is also worth noting that while the team is described as professional, the site does not provide specific credentials, certifications, or background details about individual staff, so couples may want to ask about this during the initial contact.
