I don’t know where to begin to describe the wonderful experience we had with the Donauschwaben’s German Cultural Center and their stellar event coordinator, Christine. We were fortunate to happen upon the venue shortly after a cancellation, so we were able to secure a date within 6 months of our early May 2023 wedding date. Meeting with Christine was a breath of fresh air. She was knowledgeable about absolutely everything the venue had to offer. This includes but was not limited to the 3 tired wedding package options, alcohol choices, food allergy accommodations, linens information, lighting options, outdoor spaces, and decoration suggestions and options. She made us all feel welcomed and special. She worked closely with me, the bride, and was flexible throughout the entire planning process. She communicated clearly with our vendors and was present the day of the event to help with any coordination or potential hiccups. She was compassionate and never hesitated to provide insight with other wedding related details even when they didn't pertain to the venue. Christine was a true pleasure to work with and was a genuine blessing. The reception hall itself is nice and open with plenty of space for hundreds of people. My 230ish guests did not feel over crowded at all. I had sleeves on my wedding dress, but they did a good job of keeping the room from getting warm and stuffy. The picturesque outdoor patio was a big hit on our wedding day. The space was very helpful so people could relax or take a break from the noise and enjoy conversation, fresh air, and a nice view of their pond and fountain. It was also nice to have this space to set up lawn games for people to play and to have space for kids to enjoy and run on the grassy lawn. There was also a playground on-site we were permitted to use. The service during dinner was efficient and professional. Everyone enjoyed the food from the appetizers of meatballs, fruit/veggie trays, and loaded potato skins to the schnitzel, beef tips, and potatoes we had at dinner. The water and coffee set up was handy and delicious with unlimited access, flavored syrups, and whipped cream. I credit that table for keeping this bride going that day! I can't recommend this venue enough. If I redid the day, I wouldn't change a thing!

We had our ceremony and reception here in June and I would highly recommend the venue. Working with the Events Manager Christine throughout the entire process was amazing. She was able to answer every question and made the entire process stress free. On the day of the wedding everything was exactly as we expected and the staff was very nice and helpful. If I could do it all over again I would very happily choose the same venue.

Donauschwaben's German-American Cultural Center was the perfect venue for our daughter & son-in-law’s wedding. The location to the airport, highway and hotel were ideal. Their property provided plenty of parking.
The wedding was outside on a 92° day and was flawless. It was hot, but the trees were in the perfect position to shade the entire patio. The entire staff was amazing.
The reception space was transformed into a beautiful space for our special celebration. Our family and friends shared with us how delicious the appetizers, meal and “aftertizers” of the homemade pretzels.
Christine the Event Manager went above and beyond and made sure the day was special for everyone. She answered all of my questions, even up to the last minute. We were so impressed with how many times Christine checked in with us to make sure we were happy. We highly recommend Donauschwaben’s German-American Cultural Center.
