Wedding in Switzerland
White, crystal and lake views: a ceremony at Park Hotel Vitznau
On 19 September 2026 we styled a wedding at Park Hotel Vitznau, one of the most beautiful hotels on Lake Lucerne. The day was planned by our Rockwedding team, and we at vonRock brought furniture, stages and textiles from Elzach to central Switzerland and set everything up.
The concept: a ceremony right on the water that puts the lake centre stage. Hence transparent acrylic armchairs, acrylic columns for the flowers, a white high-gloss stage as the altar and a wide white aisle, combined with white fabric drapes with tulips worked in, white roses and hydrangeas. Everything light and airy, nothing blocking the view of the Rigi and Bürgenstock. In this post we deliberately show the decor only.

The venue
Park Hotel Vitznau: Belle Époque at the foot of the Rigi
Park Hotel Vitznau has stood on the shore of Lake Lucerne since 1903, right at the foot of the Rigi. The turreted Belle Époque building has been lavishly restored and is now a luxury hotel with a large park, a lake terrace and its own jetty.
For weddings, the lawn by the water is the most striking spot: a ceremony with a lake panorama, aperitif in the park, then dinner inside. Arriving by boat, you dock almost at the front door.
Rentals
Acrylic chairs, acrylic columns and a white stage by the lake
Guests sat on our transparent acrylic armchairs. They are comfortable, look elegant and let the lake shine through. Each seat held a fan and the programme. Along the aisle stood acrylic columns in three heights with lavish arrangements of white roses, hydrangeas and trailing greenery.
At the front, a white high-gloss acrylic stage, 240 cm in diameter, served as the altar, backed by white fabric drapes with tulips moving gently in the breeze. An extra-wide white carpet formed the aisle. For the musicians we added smaller stages in white and black.

Details
White roses, tulips and fabric drapes
The florals stayed strictly white and green: roses, white and green hydrangeas, amaranth and loose roses along the aisle on the ground. A basket of rose petals was ready for the recessional. The fabric drapes with tulips worked in were the quiet highlight: a detail up close, a white curtain in front of the lake from afar.
Our tip for lakeside ceremonies: with wind on the water, heavy acrylic columns and well-weighted drapes are a must. We fix fabrics so they move but don’t tear, and place columns on level ground. Also check the sun: in the afternoon in Vitznau the sun is over the lake, so guests look slightly into the light.
FAQ
Getting married at Park Hotel Vitznau: key questions
The venue
Where is Park Hotel Vitznau?
In Vitznau on the northern shore of Lake Lucerne in the canton of Lucerne, at the foot of the Rigi. Lucerne is about half an hour to an hour away by car or boat.
Can you get married by the lake at Park Hotel Vitznau?
Yes, the lakeside lawn is ideal for an outdoor ceremony with a panoramic lake view. An indoor plan B should be part of the plan from the start.
How do guests get there?
Via Zurich or Basel airport, then by car, or by train to Lucerne and boat to Vitznau. Arriving by boat is an experience in itself.
When is the best time for a Lake Lucerne wedding?
From May to the end of September. September is often settled and mild, as it was at this wedding.
Rentals
Does vonRock deliver to Switzerland?
Yes, regularly, from Lake Lucerne to Zurich and Basel. We include transport, setup and handling transparently in our quote.
Are acrylic chairs suitable for outdoor ceremonies?
Very much so. They are weatherproof, easy to clean and let the landscape show through. The armchair version is especially comfortable for longer ceremonies.
Can the same chairs be used for ceremony and dinner?
Yes, if you plan time for the changeover. At this wedding we worked with two sets of 45 chairs so ceremony and dinner were prepared at the same time.
Why use a stage for the ceremony?
It raises the couple and celebrant slightly so every guest can see, and gives the altar a clear shape. Our high-gloss stages come in several sizes and colours.
What do the rentals in this post cost?
Current rental prices are shown on the product cards above. We quote transport to Switzerland, setup and dismantling individually.
