Our Event Types

The building is equipped with state-of-the-art event technology. With our quality range of culinary delights prepared by in-house chefs and the first-class service provided by our staff, the Festival Hall Baden-Baden will make sure that all your guests’ needs are catered for. We can also create a tailor-made entertainment package for your Event.

Gala Dinner on Stage

Let your event take centre stage! We can help you host a gala dinner on one of the largest opera stages in Europe for 60 to 500 guests. Just to give you an idea, we can serve an aperitif of sparkling Riesling brut or orange juice, while finger food is “flying” off the trays. Once the guests are seated, the limelight is on an amuse bouche followed by a three-course meal. Matching wines, beer and mineral water all play starring roles and the performance ends with an encore of coffee or espresso. Lit by dozens of spotlights, your very own stage set features beautifully laid tables with flower arrangements and draped chairs. The “score” is made up of menus and nameplates. We also provide a microphone system for your speeches. Optional extras: additional services, e.g. a cocktail bar with a barkeeper or live entertainment and a DJ.

Large Conferences

Baden-Baden has long made a name for itself as a location for large conferences and the Festival Hall, which can host conferences for 300 to 2,250 delegates, is one of the city’s premier venues. The advantages are obvious: Delegates are seated in comfortable row seating in an air-conditioned auditorium. The proscenium of the largest German opera house, which is almost 25 metres (75 feet) wide, serves as an impressive backdrop for speeches, lectures, panel discussions and multimedia presentations. Speakers and panel members benefit from a professional microphone system. A laptop and free WiFi for the speakers are provided at no extra cost. In the foyers delegates will be assisted by members of our experienced door staff and cloakroom service. The scenario presented here as an example also includes a snack buffet to welcome delegates on arrival and a coffee break in the morning. A buffet business lunch followed by a cup of coffee in the foyer and unlimited soft drinks are part of the package. As an optional extra, we can provide state-of-the-art conference technology and many other amenities.

Afterwork-Party

Situated at the heart of a booming economic region between Karlsruhe, Offenburg and Strasbourg, Baden-Baden is a great place to meet up after work. Doing business in Baden style means making the most of the region’s culinary and cultural USP’s. Festival Hall Baden-Baden can host after-work parties for 50 to 2,250 guests. In the scenario presented here as an example, the foyer has been furnished with tables draped with floor-lengths covers and bar stools. Door staff and cloakroom service are included in the price, and so is a “flying” snack to welcome your guests. Regional wines, draft beer and soft drinks are served with a buffet of cold and warm dishes. Atmospheric lighting effects set the mood for a fun and festive evening. A 6 x 4 metre (18 x 12 foot) illuminated podium and a microphone system for speeches are available. With a 2 a.m. curfew, there’s plenty of time to enjoy the atmosphere, network or chill out. Additional services, e.g. a cocktail bar with a barkeeper, live music and entertainment and a DJ, are available as optional extras.
