Wedding venue between Zurich and Zug

A place where an “I do” becomes a “forever”.

A free-form ceremony in the 300-year-old wine cellar, an aperitif in the beer garden, a photo shoot in the flower park, dinner in the Löwen hall and the party afterwards in the Löwen Bar. We have been hosts in Hausen am Albis since 1833 — 25 minutes from Zurich, 15 from Zug.

Your day at the Löwen

Some days are more than just a date.

A smile, a promise, a moment that stays. At the Löwen we create the setting for it: with warmth, experience and a kitchen that speaks of craft and care.

Whether in festive splendour or among your closest circle — we accompany you with attentiveness and love of detail, so you can concentrate on what matters: each other.

A place where love is celebrated, pleasure is lived and memories are made.

As varied as love itself

One house, five settings.

No need to change venues on your wedding day — with us, every part of the programme has its own place. And in between lie a few steps, not journeys.

Morning

Free-form ceremony in the wine cellar

A 300-year-old vault, candlelight and up to 80 guests. A ceremony room like no other.

Midday

Aperitif in the beer garden

Up to 250 guests, under cover if the weather turns — with aperitif packages from the classics to a flying dinner.

Afternoon

Photo shoot in the Seleger Moor

The flower park and the Türlersee lido are just minutes away — and we run both ourselves.

Evening

Dinner in the Löwen hall

300 m² with dance floor and technology, festively set, with an all-in package or a freely composed menu.

Night

Party in the Löwen Bar

Your personal bar menu, your playlist on the Sonos system — with a late-night licence extension until 2 am or 4 am on request.

What couples say

What bridal couples tell us.

The free-form ceremony in the wine cellar was incredibly atmospheric — even with 78 guests, everyone had a good seat. That the transition to the wedding dinner went so smoothly is thanks to the Löwen team's perfect timing.

Julia & Fati M., wedding in June 2023

We wanted an intimate setting — and found it in the wine cellar. Even with our small party of 38, every detail was planned with great care.

L. & T. K.-H., wedding in May 2024

A summer wedding with 100 guests: the aperitif in the beer garden, the perfectly timed dinner in the hall and the party into the early hours — everything ran like clockwork.

Frequently asked questions

What bridal couples usually want to know first.

How early should we reserve the date?

Let us know your preferred date as soon as possible. Alternatively, we can make a provisional reservation and check back with you in good time if needed.

Can we view the rooms beforehand?

With pleasure. So that we can take enough time for you, we ask you to arrange an appointment in advance.

How are the tables set?

Throughout the house we set the tables with white tablecloths or runners, matching cloth napkins and high-quality cutlery. Places are laid with water, white-wine and red-wine glasses. On request we design individual menu cards for your celebration.

How do flowers and candles work?

We work with the florist in the village and are happy to order flowers for your table decoration — of course you can also organise your own. Our multi-armed Löwen candlesticks, including white candles, are at your disposal; you are welcome to bring candles in another colour.

What does the table plan in the hall look like?

The Löwen hall has five round tables seating 6 each and several long tables for 4 to 10 guests. We draw up the table plan to your wishes and show you an overview of the possible arrangement in advance.

Is a trial dinner possible?

Yes, gladly, at your own expense. Please note that the availability of individual dishes depends on the season.

What does it cost to bring our own cake or wine?

For cakes you bring or have delivered, we charge CHF 4.– per person — this includes cutting, service, cutlery and cleaning. For wine you bring yourself, we charge corkage of CHF 30.– per bottle including service.

How long can we celebrate?

Musical entertainment is permitted until 10 pm, after that only with a late-night licence extension: until 2 am for CHF 400.–, until 4 am for CHF 800.–, each including staff costs. From 10 pm the windows stay closed — the Löwen sits in a residential area in the middle of the village.

What music and technology is available?

In the wine cellar and the Löwen hall we play your Spotify playlist over the Sonos system; in the Sääli and Stübli (our small parlour rooms) a radio is provided. Screen and projector are available, plus a 75-inch TV in the hall; the technology rental is CHF 50.–.

Are the rooms wheelchair-accessible?

Unfortunately there is no lift to the Löwen hall on the upper floor. The rooms in the restaurant area are easily reached via the kitchen entrance — please let us know in advance so we can organise access. The wine cellar is accessible and has an accessible WC. More on this: Accessibility.

Can the packages be adapted?

In principle, yes. If you swap a dish for a higher-priced option, the difference is charged. If dishes are swapped for less expensive alternatives or left out, the total price remains unchanged.

Can we celebrate on a closing day?

On request we open on Mondays and Tuesdays exclusively for private parties. This is subject to a minimum spend of CHF 2000.– or a surcharge of CHF 250.– per hour for the additional staffing.
