Triibhuus

Nobody pays room rent at the Triibhuus, because the greenhouse still does the job it was built for. It stands inside a working nursery in Rothrist, in the canton of Aargau, and couples who book it marry, eat and dance among living plants under glass. The offer is a free ceremony, apéro and party in one place, with no room rent. That last point is the structural idea, and one we like: you pay for the catering, not for the space.

Paying for the catering, not the room

Weddings start from CHF 159 per person (November 2026). That figure includes the apéro, the menu, non-alcoholic drinks, service and staff, and wine and beer are billed by consumption or chosen as a flat rate. Winter weddings add a heating-cost flat fee, which is already included in the winter package, quoted from CHF 119. Web prices are informational and the personal offer is the binding document. Payment terms are a 30 percent deposit on confirmation and ten days net, and the final guest count and menu are due 14 days before the event.

The caterer is Plus Catering, the kitchen arm of the Genuss Gastro Plus group, which also runs the Triibhuus. The greenhouse has no kitchen of its own: the team cooks on site and brings service staff, furniture, tableware, glasses, linen, setup and teardown. One contact person handles the wedding from first idea to last plate, which keeps the planning simple for couples working from a distance.

Triibhuus A for dinner, Triibhuus B for summer extras

Triibhuus A seats 30 to 150 guests for dinner or a banquet and is heated in winter. Triibhuus B is the add-on space and works only together with A, from June to September. It takes up to 150 guests for the apéro, up to 100 for a free ceremony and up to 100 for the party and bar. The house has a PA system and microphone, and a Bluetooth audio feed. A DJ, a live band and a photo booth can be booked, and table decoration and floristry are taken on request.

A sample day runs like this. The ceremony starts at 14:00, the apéro follows at 15:00 with canapés and music, the wedding dinner is at 18:00, the cake is cut at 20:30 and the party starts at 21:00. Music is turned down at 23:00 with the windows closed, and the evening winds down around midnight. An extension in Triibhuus B is possible on request in the summer months. It is an easy day for your guests to follow, because they stay in one greenhouse from the 14:00 ceremony until the music winds down around midnight.

A season that follows the nursery

The greenhouse is bookable from June to the end of February. From March to the end of May it belongs to the nursery, Gärtnerei Bühler, which grows the plants that go into regional gardens that summer, and it is not rented out then, not even as an exception. November and December are the most requested weeks of the year, so a date in those months calls for an early inquiry.

The civil ceremony happens elsewhere

The free ceremony inside Triibhuus B, for up to 100 guests, is a free ceremony (freie Trauung), not the civil registration. The civil ceremony (standesamtliche Trauung) takes place externally, so plan that part separately and use the greenhouse for the rest of the day.

Thirty parking spaces, hotels 10 to 20 minutes away

The address is Weidweg 1, 4852 Rothrist, five driving minutes from the A1, with about 30 parking spaces on site. The ground floor is mostly level, and there are no wheelchair-accessible toilets. There is no overnight accommodation at the venue. Gasthof Kreuz in Egerkingen and hotels in Zofingen, Aarau and Olten are all roughly 10 to 20 minutes away.

Seven steps from inquiry to party

The process has seven steps. You send an inquiry by form, phone or email; the venue checks the date and sends a personal offer within two to four days; a viewing on site follows; you think it over; you book, which fixes the date; the offer is then tuned together, menu and schedule included; and the team handles everything from setup to cleanup. The group's terms govern deposits, cancellation periods and staff costs. While you decide, the venue holds the date for you without obligation. If the date or the guest count does not fit, the group will look with you for the right house among its sister venues, which include Gasthof Kreuz in Egerkingen, Stadtgarten Wangen an der Aare and Mühlerama Seon.

The pages are in German, and English-language service and remote planning are not mentioned, so ask before you count on either.

Plants, glass and a price per guest

For a couple who would rather spend on food and wine than on hiring a hall, Triibhuus fits well: a greenhouse among the nursery's plants, a caterer who cooks on site and a price that names the per-person figure up front.
