Wedding Venues in Aargau
Venues seated in the canton of Aargau, between Zurich, Basel and Bern: hilltop castles and their restaurants, converted mills and greenhouses, rooftop halls in Aarau and Baden, and inns along the rivers. Its central position puts guests from all three cities within a short drive, and Zurich airport is close. It suits couples who want a castle or a space with character without the setting of a big lakefront hotel. Ask whether a castle site allows music late into the evening, which caterers it accepts, and where guests will sleep, since several venues here have no rooms of their own.
