Perched on the southern shore of Lake Starnberg with the Alps as a backdrop, LA VILLA's Orangery, Garden Pavilion and coach house have welcomed wedding parties since 1855 — a place of panoramic lake light, Mediterranean cuisine and genuine Bavarian warmth less than an hour from Munich. The venue can accommodate up to 144 guests for your wedding celebration.
Lake Starnberg has long been Munich's summer escape — a stretch of clear Alpine water where Bavarian aristocracy once built their villas and where the light turns gold every evening as the mountains catch the last of the day. LA VILLA has stood at the edge of the lake since 1855, its Tuscan-influenced architecture and tiered terraces looking out across the water as if nothing about the world has particularly changed since then. The setting is genuinely beautiful in the way that takes you by surprise even when you knew it was coming.
The Orangery is the heart of a LA VILLA wedding: 180 square metres of ceiling-high glass with the full lake panorama visible from every table, its side walls able to open entirely in summer so the warm air and the sound of the water become part of the evening. For smaller parties the Garden Pavilion — 135 square metres on its own lakeside terrace — feels more intimate. Both spaces sit within walking distance of the hotel rooms, meaning no transfers and no lost guests, just the lake, the mountains and the people you chose to be there.
