Timeless Black & White Wedding Concept by vonRock Events
The Enea Gardens near Zurich in Switzerland are among the most exclusive locations for stylish weddings and events. The special combination of modern garden architecture, art objects and the iconic glass house creates the perfect setting for high-quality event decoration in the Enea Gardens.
For this wedding, we were allowed to implement the complete event decoration in the Enea Gardens near Zurich as the event outfitter of Rock Events. The design concept was based on a clear, elegant colour scheme in black and white, which deliberately focuses on the architecture of the location.
Our elegant event decoration can also be offered for rent for your occasion.
Enea Gardens near Zurich – A location for exclusive event decoration
The Enea Gardens in Switzerland stand for clean lines, high-quality materials and a calm, luxurious atmosphere. It is precisely these characteristics that we have taken up and specifically underlined with our event decorations. Our aim was not to cover up the existing aesthetics of the location, but to complement it with a reduced yet effective design.
The black & white wedding concept set deliberate contrasts to the green surroundings of the Enea Gardens and created a timeless, modern setting. The clear colour lines not only highlighted the natural beauty of the gardens, but also created an elegant, harmonious overall look. The combination of black and white accents made the decoration look modern and classic at the same time, which perfectly staged the location.
Event decoration for the wedding ceremony in the Enea Gardens
The free wedding ceremony took place in the middle of the garden. In the design, we placed particular emphasis on lightness and transparency in order to let the natural surroundings of the Enea Gardens near Zurich take effect:
Ghost Chairs for guests – modern, transparent and restrained
Bentwood Chair in Black for the Newlyweds
Off-white seat pad as a subtle, elegant accent
Our seat pads can be booked in different colours, including Macchiato Beige, Black, Sage Green and Rattan. In this way, the event decoration in the Enea Gardens can be individually coordinated with any colour and design concept.
Rent our Bentwood chairs also with other seats:

Linen tablecloth in macchiato beige

Getting Married at the Enea Gardens near Zurich: Glasshouse, Park, Travel and Black & White Wedding Rentals
The Enea Gardens in Rapperswil-Jona on the Obersee are the tree museum and showroom of landscape architect Enzo Enea: around 75,000 square metres of park with transplanted, partly centuries-old trees, sandstone walls, sculptures and the glasshouse that becomes the stage for dinner and party. According to the venue, it hosts 20 to 350 guests: the 750-square-metre showroom seats up to 250 for a banquet, the outdoor square another 250, the covered terrace around 80 at tables, the orangery up to 60. Zurich is about 40 minutes away, Zurich Airport roughly 50 kilometres.
For this wedding at the Enea Gardens we furnished a concept in black and white: transparent acrylic chairs for the guests at the outdoor ceremony in the park, black bentwood chairs with off-white seat pads for the couple and the dinner, round tables with floor-length linen in macchiato beige, glass charger and bread plates with a black rim, black-and-gold cutlery, black napkins, matt black hurricane candle holders and crystal chandeliers in the glasshouse.
Black and white works so well at the Enea Gardens because the architecture itself is reduced: glass, stone, water, green. Dark accents on light linen create contrast without drowning out the trees, and chandeliers under the glass roof reflect in the panes at night. Our crystal chandeliers range from the 3-arm Fairy Drape with stand to the 60-arm Imperial; for rooms without rigging points we bring stands and the 4-arm chandelier tree.
From our southern warehouse in Elzach near Freiburg it is around 180 kilometres to Rapperswil-Jona, about two hours via Basel and Zurich. We regularly deliver to Lake Zurich, Zurich, Lucerne, Basel, Bern and Ticino, handle the customs paperwork for the temporary import of rental goods and set up and collect on request. This wedding was planned by our sister agency rockweddings, flowers by MyAwina, photos by Tobias Tumac.

A garden venue like the Enea Gardens lives from its architecture, its trees and the interplay between open lawns and sheltered areas. To make sure the decoration complements this setting instead of competing with it, early and structured planning pays off. From our experience as an event rental company, six points have proven especially helpful.
1. Define your colour concept early. A reduced concept such as Black & White looks particularly clear in a green environment. Decide which colours your chairs, linen, tableware and candles should have before choosing individual items. This creates a consistent overall look from the ceremony to the dinner.
2. Plan a bad-weather option. Outdoor weddings should always have a plan B. Check with the venue which covered areas are available, and choose furniture and textiles that can be moved quickly if necessary.
3. Consider the ground and paths. Lawn, gravel and paving place different demands on chairs, tables and candle holders. Stable furniture and wind-protected light sources such as candles in glass cylinders make sure everything stands securely in the evening as well.
4. Light for the evening hours. If the dinner continues into dusk, candle holders, chandeliers and warm light create a special atmosphere. Plan light sources early so that power connections and set-up times can be coordinated with the venue.
5. Clarify logistics to Switzerland. For weddings in Switzerland we offer delivery and collection of the rental items on request. The earlier date, venue and quantities are fixed, the more relaxed transport, border formalities and set-up times can be planned.
6. See the decor in person first. In our showroom in Elzach you can combine chairs, linen, tableware and cutlery by appointment and set a sample table. This lets you see in advance how the concept will look in the Enea Gardens and decide on quantities and variants at your own pace.
Are you planning your wedding at the Enea Gardens or at another garden venue in Switzerland? Send us your date, venue and approximate number of guests via the enquiry for Switzerland. We will put together suitable chairs, table linen, tableware, candle holders and lighting ideas, check availability for your date and discuss delivery and collection with you, so that you can fully focus on your guests and your celebration on the big day.

What makes the venue special?
A park of around 75,000 square metres in which transplanted, partly very old trees stand like exhibits between sandstone walls, sculptures and water features, plus the glasshouse as showroom, an orangery, a tea house and a covered terrace. Weddings take place under the open sky, under the canopy of leaves or under glass.

According to the venue, 20 to 350 people: showroom up to 250 for a banquet, outdoor square up to 250, covered terrace around 80 at tables, orangery up to 60, tea house up to 8. For this wedding, round dinner tables stood in the glasshouse.
Where does the ceremony take place?
Symbolic ceremonies are held in the middle of the park between the trees; in rain the covered terrace or the glasshouse are the alternatives. For the ceremony we used transparent acrylic chairs that almost disappear in front of trees and stone walls, and two black bentwood chairs for the couple.

Light linen in macchiato beige as the base, with glass charger and bread plates with a black rim, black-and-gold cutlery, black napkins, matt black hurricane candle holders and black bentwood chairs with off-white seat pads. Flowers in white and green, light from crystal chandeliers.
Can chandeliers be hung in a glasshouse?
Yes, from the venue's rigging points or from our stands: the Fairy Drape chandeliers come with a stand, larger models hang from the 4-arm chandelier tree or the 100 cm stand. That way we need no ceiling hooks and can place the chandeliers wherever the tables are.
