Kitchen

Everything is cooked in-house. In the kitchen with two toques.

Regional, seasonal and certified organic. The kitchen is right here in the house and cooks while your guests raise a glass in the courtyard.

For a small party we serve the menu at the table. For larger parties it comes as a farm-to-table dinner: the courses arrive on platters in the middle of the table and are shared. You receive the menu suggestion with your proposal.

Price

What a wedding with us costs. With one day fully costed.

For dinner in the Saal, expect €139 to 170 per person including VAT (€120 to 146 net), for 60 to 120 guests.

This includes sound and light, dinner and drinks for three hours: wine, beer and soft drinks. Hall hire and furniture come on top. The more guests come, the lower the price per person. The ceremony in the afternoon and the courtyard are charged in addition.

Questions

What couples want to know before they enquire – answered briefly.

Date and place

Which dates can we enquire about?

You can celebrate in the Saal all year round, in the courtyard from May to September. Give us two or three preferred dates – we check them all and hold one for you for ten days.

Is the Saal ours alone on our date?

Yes, always. On your date there is no second event in the Saal, not even a small one.

How long can we celebrate?

In the Saal until 2:00, with music. In the courtyard the music ends at 24:00. Later by arrangement.

What happens if it rains?

This only applies to a reception in the courtyard. If it rains, we move into the restaurant or the Saal; the proposal names which.

How do our guests get to you?

The Saal has its entrance at Wollzeile 1; restaurant and courtyard are at Lugeck 6. Two minutes from Stephansplatz (U1, U3); the nearest car park is at Stephansplatz. The restaurant (Lugeck 6) and the Saal (Wollzeile 1) are step-free, each with an accessible WC.

Ceremony and celebration

Can we hold the ceremony in the house?

Yes, as a celebrant-led ceremony in the Saal under the glass dome. A celebrant-led ceremony does not replace the civil ceremony.

Can we decorate ourselves?

Yes. Bring your own flowers and decoration, or we arrange both, without a commission. Not permitted: open flames, confetti and adhesives on walls and glass.

Can we bring a DJ or a band?

Yes. A playlist over our system is included, as are sound, light and a wireless microphone. Bring your own DJ or band, or we recommend someone. If you bring your own music, you register it with AKM, the Austrian collecting society; we tell you how.

Can we bring our own photographer?

Yes, at no surcharge. Or we arrange someone for you, without a commission.

Are children welcome?

Yes, children are welcome. Tell us in your enquiry how many are coming.

Money

What does a wedding at Labstelle cost?

For dinner in the Saal €139 to 170 per person including VAT for 60 to 120 guests. What is included and a fully costed example are in the Price section.

How many guests do we have to confirm?

The expected number seven days ahead, the binding number three working days ahead. We charge for the binding number, but at least 80 % of the number given at booking.

Is a deposit required?

Yes. A 30 % deposit after confirmation, the rest after the celebration.

What applies if we have to cancel or reschedule?

More than 90 days ahead: free of charge. After that 25 %, from 44 days 50 %, from 13 days 75 %, in the final week 90 % of the order value. Rescheduling within twelve months is free up to 45 days ahead. Everything else in the terms and conditions (in German).

Food and drinks

What is on the menu at a wedding in the Saal?

For up to 50 guests a menu of three or four courses served at the table. From 51 guests a farm-to-table dinner, with platters to share in the middle of the table, or a flying dinner. You receive the suggestion with your proposal.

Does the kitchen cater for vegetarians, vegans and allergies?

Yes. Vegetarian is always included, vegan on request. The kitchen cooks individually for allergies and intolerances; you tell us the number up to three working days in advance.

Can we bring our own wedding cake?

By arrangement, yes; the proposal shows any service charge. Otherwise the cake comes from our kitchen. Everything else is cooked exclusively by us.

Which drinks are included in the package?

Three hours of wine, beer and soft drinks; after that by consumption or as a flat fourth hour.
