Say 'I DO' at Baur au Lac

Choose the Baur au Lac's spectacular setting as backdrop for your own personal love story. Our experience is backed by over 175 years of tradition and many happy couples who crowned their love with a wedding at the Baur au Lac. Plan your most beautiful day in one of Zurich's most renowned and historic wedding venues directly on Lake Zurich.

Unique service

  • Kutsche

    Baur au Lac carriage

    By pure chance and while searching for a historic carriage for a wedding couple, an original Baur au Lac coach, formerly used to transport guests around the mid 1800s, was rediscovered at a private collector in 2019. Faithfully restored and preserved, this horse-powered vehicle will grant you a grand entrance on your wedding day.

  • Loren Fischer

    Floristry

    From table decorations to bridal bouquets and altar decorations, you can order everything directly from our in-house florist. Our head florist originally learned her craft working for the Queen in London. We are fortunate that Buckingham Palace never called for her services, so now our guests can enjoy her floral artwork instead.

  • Hochzeitstorte

    Sweet temptations

    Our in-house pastry chef creates true masterpieces from sugar and flour. Whether it's a colourful dessert buffet, a playful candy bar or a dreamlike multi-tiered wedding cake, there are no limits to your imagination thanks to the artistry of our team.

  • Braut

    Styling

    With «Vanity» you will find a high-end beauty salon in the hotel whose team will also do your hair and make-up in the privacy of your guest room upon request.

A comprehensive redesign a few years ago took up the great tradition of the ballroom. The crystal mirrors on the walls reflect the cleverly draped curtains and magnificent chandeliers, the gallery and associated staircases invite you to make a grand entrance.
