Family Celebrations

Celebrate together in a relaxed atmosphere

There are occasions you don’t want to celebrate “just anywhere” — a milestone birthday, a First Communion or an anniversary. For family celebrations in Nettetal, we offer a setting that can feel festive without ever being stiff — and above all, uncomplicated.

In advance, we take the time to discuss what suits you: a classic set menu or a relaxed buffet — always tailored to your guests and your budget.

Which family celebrations are a good fit at our hotel

Our guests celebrate in many different ways with us — often, for example:

Birthdays (including milestone birthdays), christenings, First Communion and Confirmation, anniversaries such as silver or golden weddings, as well as simple family get-togethers where everyone finally sits down together at one table again.

Here is where celebrations happen: our function room

Set menu or buffet? We tailor it to your celebration

When it comes to food, there isn’t one perfect solution. A set menu often feels calmer and more “settled,” while a buffet adds more movement and choice. Many families also choose a mix: a reception with small bites, followed later by a warm buffet or a multi-course set menu.

We don’t advise you from a catalogue, but from experience: what works well for your number of guests? What suits the time of day? How should the event flow? And how can it stay relaxed for you as the host?

Room, schedule, atmosphere — so you can truly celebrate with your guests

For a family celebration to be a success, it’s not just the food that matters. What’s important is that everything flows smoothly: when will the guests arrive? Would you like a sparkling wine reception? Are there any programme items or speeches? Roughly how long should the evening last?

That’s exactly where we support you. With us, you don’t have to “piece everything together” on your own. We help you think through the flow, offer suggestions, and make sure behind the scenes that everything runs smoothly on the day.

Arrival & parking — convenient even for larger groups

For family celebrations, one thing is often more important than you expect beforehand: getting here. Especially when guests are coming from the surrounding area or when several generations are celebrating together, it should be straightforward — without searching for a parking space and without a long walk.

We offer free parking directly on site, including for larger vehicles. It makes the celebration much more relaxed for everyone — especially for older guests or families with children.

Overnight accommodation available on request

If it gets late or guests are travelling from further afield, staying overnight is often worth its weight in gold. Then the evening doesn’t end in a rush, but calmly: head to your room, sleep in, enjoy breakfast in the morning — done.

It’s a real advantage for family celebrations where you don’t want to have to leave immediately after the last coffee.

Family celebration enquiry

If you are planning a family celebration, feel free to get in touch early — ideally with two or three key details: the occasion, an approximate date and the number of guests. After that, we’ll work out everything else together: room, food, drinks and the schedule.
