If anyone can plan, has her heart in the right place and keeps a cool head, it’s Tina Zitt, our in-house event manager.
She has collected countless weddings in different locations and in all seasons in her treasure trove of experience and is at your side with her head and heart for your wedding planning in the dream location Ketschauer Hof – from getting to know each other at the wedding fair to your big day in our dreamlike estate.
“There are many, many little things that my team and I think about and accompany the bride and groom from the very beginning until the big celebration. We keep an eye on the weather and advise on the final adjustment of the drinks selection, we think about heel protectors for ladies’ shoes, a high heels bar with dance slippers when the soles of your own shoes are glowing from dancing, the packet of tissues for the tears of joy at the right moment, in short: we want to help you with special little things and fulfill budding wishes that you haven’t even expressed yet,” smiles Tina Zitt lovingly.
Ask your questions in person at the introductory stand at the wedding fair.

It feels like a fairy tale…
Every bride wants to feel like a princess once in her life – on her wedding day. (Some perhaps a little less, others a little more.) And a real princess is of course picked up in a carriage.
In addition to the fairytale wow effect, a carriage looks particularly elegant. Even at the end of the 19th century, when carriages were still the number one means of transportation, they were considered a status symbol in private use and only the financially better off could afford them.
So if you opt for a wedding carriage today, you will feel truly special on your big day.
Maike and Gernot Weber know exactly what they are talking about and will fulfill your wish. They run a winery in Kindenheim and have also been offering carriage and covered wagon rides for a few years now.
With their cold-blooded horses Fritz & Moritz or the Frisian Daan, they will pick you up in a carriage – as befits a fairy tale. For your romantic dream wedding, they recommend the “hunting carriage”, which you can have your florist decorate as you wish.
To ensure that your wedding reception is an unforgettable celebration, it is advisable to familiarize yourself with wedding etiquette.
“Wedding etiquette can be seen as a small guide to good manners,” says Ole Leidner, Managing Director of Ketschauer Hof GmbH. “I don’t see this as a rigid set of rules, but rather a certain amount of help for quite banal questions that arise during the wedding preparations. For example: Where does the groom walk, to the right or left of the bride? Where do I place my parents and in-laws at the table?”
Leidner also gives tips on the menu and wine selection and answers your questions about the wedding. With well over 30 years of experience with weddings of all sizes and in a wide variety of locations, he is an irreplaceable advisor.
He will give a talk in person at the venue – informative and guaranteed to be extremely entertaining. Once equipped with this information, it will be easy for you to behave appropriately for the festive occasion and you will feel confident and stylish.
Connected forever – your wedding rings
“A piece of jewelry that makes a wonderful moment come alive in the memory years later must be just as special as the occasion to which it is dedicated,” says the quote on the Geniva website.
And yet some couples find it difficult to find the perfect wedding rings. Do you like classic rings or would you prefer them to be extravagant, or are you looking for a very special unique piece?
Your questions are in the right place with the Geniva team. With their passion for jewelry and exclusive taste, they will advise you sensitively on your wedding rings.
Wines with elegance since 1718
A special day needs special wines!
Taste the selected varieties of our sister winery Bassermann-Jordan, which is located opposite the Ketschauer Hof estate, at our wedding fair.
Niko Werle will advise you on which accompanying wine goes with which dish. Because just as two people match perfectly, a wine also goes particularly well with a particular dish.
Would you like a glass of Prestige?
Would you like to give your guests a special welcome at the reception? Then a “Prestige” aperitif is just the thing!
The Reichsrat von Buhl winery has great wines in its overall repertoire, and on top of that, the sparkling wines in the “Prestige” range can absolutely keep up with champagnes. Be sure to taste them at our wedding fair and find your Prestige favorite with Jan Steltner!
Lively, fine and full of character
Von Winning wines are racy, full of tension and have great ageing potential, but offer great drinking pleasure even in their youth.
Which Winning wine goes perfectly with which dish, the so-called “pairing”… Florentine Baier will accompany you at our wedding fair.
