In the Gerber Park area you can find some really amazing venues for your big day. My favorite one is their new building, the Bootshaus, that can fit up to 110 people. With a terrace by the water and a rustic style that mix wood and industrial elements, this is a great location for a boho wedding close to Stuttgart.
The set up cost in 2017 for the venue was €700 and included the preparation of the space with table settings. If you are curious about the food options, you can choose between Swabian, Mediterranean or fish dishes. Right outside the Boothaus we can find brick walls, water and some gorgeous trees, which gives us a lot of place for creativity!

8. Marmorsaal
The Marmorsaal with its unique architecture was built for purely private purposes. The children of the industrialist and antique researcher Ernst Sieglin, only wanted a tennis court. From 1912 to 1913 Sieglin had the tea house, a tennis court and the marble hall built. Can you imagine that? Located in the Weißenburgpark, this wedding location impresses everyone with its beautiful and restored rooms. The big windows and marble walls, together with other spectacular details, will surely surpass every expectation.
The room can accommodate up to 100 people. For small and medium weddings, this can be the ideal setting. You will have to walk a little bit to get there (around 15 minutes), which might be not so welcoming for every couple and their guests. But if you have no problem with a short walk, it is definitely worth it. Only a few meters away of this magnificent venue you have a breathtaking view of Stuttgart! With so many stunning little details, the castle couldn’t be outside of this list.
