Wedding Venues in Zurich and the North
Zurich gives you the widest choice in German-speaking Switzerland and the shortest guest logistics: the airport is fifteen minutes from the centre and the lake boats double as reception rooms. Venues here range from converted industrial halls in Zurich West to lakeside country houses in Kuesnacht and Erlenbach, vineyard estates above the Limmat valley, and castle terraces out towards Aargau and Winterthur. Prices sit at the top of the Swiss range and the best dates go eighteen months ahead. Most venues in the city quote and correspond in English; the rural ones often do not, and will say so.
