WEDDINGS at the Kunstpalast

To lay a solid legal foundation for your joint life as a married couple there are a few things to consider in advance:
To arrange a date for your wedding at the TEEKANNE Belvedere, please contact the Düsseldorf registry office six months in advance via its booking platform: traukalender.duesseldorf.de/

Initially, you will receive a note confirming the receipt of your inquiry. Your desired date will be checked and agreed upon jointly by the registry office and the Kunstpalast. Subsequently, you will receive a confirmation of the date along with further details on the schedule and costs.
This confirmation finalises your booking of your wedding at the Kunstpalast, unless we receive a cancellation from you in writing.
You need to register your wedding with the registry office local to your place of residence, and please inform them that your wedding at the Kunstpalast has already been booked. Please note that this separate registration, possible from six months prior to the wedding date, is mandatory. Please also ask your registry office in good time which documents you need for the registration. 
Please note:
If you live outside Düsseldorf, your documents will be forwarded to the Düsseldorf registry office. It is important that you allow sufficient time for this and organise an appointment in good time. The wedding ceremony can only take place if all the required documents have been obtained.
The marriage registrars gladly accompany you when you take this important step towards your future together. Any questions as to which registrar will carry out your wedding ceremony can only be answered by the Düsseldorf registry office itself.   
Contact:
Standesamt Düsseldorf, Inselstr. 17, 40479 Düsseldorf
Telephone +49 (0)211 – 8991 or e-mail: standesamt@duesseldorf.de

Please make sure you arrive in good time, as from 15 minutes after the scheduled time the registrar is authorised to leave the wedding venue, and your entitlement to the wedding ceremony expires. Please also ask your guests to arrive on time, otherwise they might have to wait outside. 

As much as we regret it: For reasons of monument protection, scattering flowers, rice or confetti, as well as using drones is not permitted in the entire Ehrenhof area.

Please note that, for the same reason, it is not permitted to bring your own flower decorations, with the exception of the bridal bouquet.
There will be a fresh and tasteful flower arrangement decorating the wedding table.
For reasons of monument and fire protection, sparklers, candles, smoke bombs, Bengal flares or any fireworks or open flames are strictly prohibited in the Kunstpalast and the entire Ehrenhof courtyard. In the event of non-compliance, we will unfortunately have to charge you for any cleaning costs incurred. Likewise, smoking is not permitted inside any of the museum’s premises. Please note that balloons are not permitted inside the building, and even individual balloons must not be released outdoors due to the strict regulations of DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung (German air navigation services).

Please also note that releasing pigeons after the ceremony is not permitted on any of the museum’s premises and in the entire Ehrenhof courtyard.

You would like to raise a glass with your guests straight after the wedding ceremony? Please contact our restaurant Anna Maria situated right on our premises.

Please note that in order to protect the grounds, champagne receptions are not permitted in any of the Ehrenhof’s green areas or on the paths.
 
For organisational reasons, champagne receptions cannot be carried out by external caterers.

Please check with the wedding registrar before the ceremony starts whether photographs may be taken during the procedure.
 
You are welcome to bring a photographer of your choice.
Please inform your photographer that a camera stand may be used, provided that it offers adequate floor protection.
 
Your guests are also invited to take photographs. However, any photographs must be for personal use only, not for any commercial purposes.
 
The use of drones for filming or photography is not permitted on site, including inside the building and outside.
 
Please also inform your photographer that displaying photographs or film footage of your wedding on your photographer’s website is not permitted. For any requests to use images commercially, please contact us. The rights to do so can be purchased separately.

A musical accompaniment lasting up to five minutes is permitted during your wedding, by prior agreement. Up to three musicians with portable acoustic instruments only (such as violin, guitar, flute etc.) are permitted, but please note that no items must be placed on the floor. Bringing loudspeakers or amplifiers is not permitted and, unfortunately, electric sockets cannot be made available. You are welcome, however, to bring a Bluetooth speaker.

The entrance to the TEEKANNE Belvedere is via Anna Maria Café Restaurant. Access to an elevator is on the ground floor to the left of the entrance. Should one or several wheelchairs be required, please advise us of the number well in advance to avoid any delays. 

Public car parking facilities are available, for instance, at the multi-storey car park “Campus am Kunstpalast” or at the car park at Rheinterrassen. Unfortunately, parking is not permitted on the grounds of the Ehrenhof.
