On the crystal-clear Riessersee beneath the Zugspitze, Germany's highest peak, this lakeside resort hosts open-air meadow ceremonies each summer with panoramic mountain views, backed by the lakeside Seehaus, nine suites and a team that has made Alpine wedding celebrations its speciality. The venue can accommodate up to 80 guests for your wedding celebration.
The Riessersee sits at the foot of Germany's highest mountains, a lake so clear and still in the early morning that the Zugspitze reflects in it perfectly. The hotel's wedding meadow occupies a natural platform above the water — benches in white covers, an altar table, the mountains on three sides and the sound of almost nothing else. Between May and October, ceremonies happen here daily from eleven in the morning until six in the evening, unhurried, in the open air.
The Seehaus, a lakehouse complex with nine suites, its own restaurant and a private terrace, can be taken over exclusively for the whole day and evening. For couples who want to linger — who want to move from ceremony to dinner to dancing without any sense of being moved along — this is the option that gives the whole lake to yourselves. The kitchen makes honest, locally sourced Alpine food, and the alpine evening light over the water makes it the kind of meal people remember differently from ordinary weddings.
