    Donauschwaben's German-American Cultural Center was the perfect venue for our wedding. The grounds were stunning, with gorgeous landscaping and a large, clean indoor space. The team was incredibly responsive, organized, and helpful throughout the planning process. Christine, the event coordinator, was a pleasure to work with - she was extremely attentive and made the entire experience stress-free. Our guests are still raving about how beautiful everything was, from the decor to the amazing food. If we had to do our wedding all over again, we would choose this venue without hesitation. We are beyond grateful for the exceptional service and incredible value they provided.

  • Great experience!

    My son and daughter-in-law had both their wedding ceremony and reception there and everything was fantastic! Christine was great to work with and the venue turned out so lovely. We received many compliments from our guests on the food and the venue. We were very happy with everything!

    The Donauschwaben's German-American Cultural Center was the perfect venue for our wedding! From the very beginning, Christine had fast and constant communication, making the planning process a breeze. They truly went above and beyond for us - they set out the desserts, cake, table settings and centerpieces, and Christine provided a schedule that made it super easy for our DJ to follow. The hall was absolutely beautiful, with a huge dance floor that was filled all night long. The outdoor patio was awesome for guests who wanted to take a break and hang out, and the kids had a blast blowing off steam on the playground. The lighting and overall ambiance of the venue was incredible. We couldn't have asked for a better experience - the Donauschwaben's team made everything a smooth and seamless process from start to finish.
