1. Davaz Winery

The Davaz Winery offers an idyllic backdrop for your wedding. The Vineyards and Rustic Yet Modern Buildings create a romantic atmosphere that is perfect for wedding photos. The exclusive wedding location in Fläsch Grisons is ideal for wine lovers. Enjoyment and elegance are very important here. Elegant wedding photography is easy to get out of hand here. Almost every celebration here feels like a luxury wedding in Switzerland.

The views of the awesome mountains and the vines from the pergola are indescribable. Add a fine glass of red wine to swirl and family and the evening is already perfect.

Southerlandic flair without traffic jams heading south. Definitely one of my favorites of the most beautiful wedding locations in Eastern Switzerland.

2. Schmidheiny Winery

Weingut Schmidheiny in Heerbrugg offers a unique combination of vineyards and modern function rooms. It is an ideal location for couples who are planning a stylish and elegant wedding. Here, traditional and modern are perfectly combined. The Rose Garden is full of flowers and a more rustic atmosphere. The main property features modern art and a covered forecourt with a relaxed yet stylish atmosphere. Easily accessible and conveniently located in the middle of Eastern Switzerland, you are guaranteed to find everything you need here.

3. St. Gall Abbey

The Historic Monastery of St. Gallen offers an impressive backdrop for your wedding. The Baroque Architecture and Beautiful Gardens make it an ideal location for wedding photography and wedding videography. For the bridal couple pictures, we can go to the old town for an urban look or to more remote areas for quieter and greener shots. Impressive pictures are always taken in front of the monastery. And you can satisfy your appetite almost everywhere in the city. Perfect for a carefree and stress-free wedding Okay, except for getting there and looking for a parking space.

4. Oberberg Castle Gossau

Oberberg Castle in Gossau impresses with its elegant architecture and magnificent views of the Alpstein massif. It is a popular choice for couples planning a classic and stylish wedding in Eastern Switzerland. Easily accessible by car and the various rooms make every creative idea come true. I particularly like the aesthetic mix of tried and tested, rustic and modern elements. Various places around Oberberg Castle are ideal for wedding photos with a wide variety of moods and backgrounds.

5. Weinstein Castle

Weinstein Castle is known for its magnificent architecture and idyllic location surrounded by vineyards. It is the perfect location for an elegant and romantic wedding. Free weddings right in front of the vines and delicious aperitifs on the terrace with a beautiful view await you here. The wine cellar is filled to the brim with house wine and countless bottles from all over Europe. In 2016, Weinstein Castle was named the second most beautiful wedding venue in Switzerland. The ideal place for foodies and wine lovers.

6. Wartegg Castle

Wartegg Castle in Rorschach offers a fantastic location with views of Lake Constance. The Historic Buildings and Beautiful Gardens make it an ideal location for wedding photography on Lake Constance. There are a few places here from which you can't see Lake Constance. A few of them are located in the beautiful gardens. The Splendor of Flowers and Plants makes it impossible to miss the lake here. A dream for bridal couples, guests and photographers and videographers in Eastern Switzerland.

7. Grünenstein Castle in Balgach

Grünenstein Castle in Balgach impresses with its magnificent rooms and extensive parks. It is a perfect choice for couples who are planning an elegant and stylish wedding. Elegant and somewhat rustic also describes the interior of the castle very well. A small spiral staircase up to the tower is rewarded with a great view and a balcony. Smaller weddings can easily be celebrated there. Out in the Rose Garden, there are countless beautiful places for great wedding pictures in Eastern Switzerland.

8. Berneck Winery (Tobias Winery)

The Berneck Winery offers a picturesque backdrop for your wedding. The Vineyards and Charming Buildings create a romantic atmosphere that is perfect for wedding photos. If you like food, you'll love this place. Rheintalcatering has its home here. Good food and fine wines are provided. There are also various places to celebrate indoors here, but a highlight is definitely the opportunity to have a free wedding directly in the Vines. Located in the middle of the Rhine Valley, you are also well connected here.

9. Seellust on Lake Constance

Seelust on Lake Constance offers an idyllic location right on the water. The charming gardens and cozy atmosphere make it an ideal location for an intimate and memorable wedding. There are countless options for beautiful wedding pictures here. On the one hand, in the beautifully maintained gardens in front of the house or directly on Lake Constance. The food and service are exceptional and consistently convincing across the board, making this one of the most beautiful wedding locations in Eastern Switzerland. Here you can relax and simply enjoy the wedding.

10th Werdenberg Castle

Werdenberg Castle, with its picturesque lakeside location, offers a romantic atmosphere for your wedding. The Historic Walls and Lake Views are perfect for taking breathtaking wedding photos. A true classic in Switzerland's smallest town. In any case, some municipalities are fighting over this title. But manageable is also very practical. With a short walk around the lake, you can cover many backgrounds such as lake, forest, castle and old town. So if you insist on variety at your wedding, that's a good choice. In My Opinion, Only the Frequency of Weddings Could Be Reduced During High Season As a result, the wedding parties on Schlossplatz overlap less. However, the view from the castle courtyard immediately makes up for it.

11. Dottenwil Castle

Dottenwil Castle offers a unique mix of history and modernity. The Charming Interiors and Extensive Gardens offer plenty of opportunities for beautiful wedding photos. The Terrace offers a wonderful view of Vines and the Säntis, and the Garden offers views of Lake Constance. A bit remote in Thurgau but definitely worth the trip.

Many decisions are made during the planning of the dream wedding. I'll do my best to help you with that.

Choosing a wedding photographer can also be difficult. That is why I offer a Free Introductory Photo Shoot On. This is where we quickly find out whether things are right between us for the big day as well.
