The Most Elegant Wedding Venues in Switzerland – As Captured by Kuenzli Photography
Switzerland is a land of contrasts: dramatic mountains, serene lakes, lush vineyards, and historic cities. For couples planning a high-end wedding, it offers something uniquely rare — a combination of natural beauty, refined luxury, and intimacy. And yet, it remains one of the best-kept secrets in the world of destination weddings.
Over the past decade, we — the Künzli Sisters — have had the privilege of capturing love stories at some of the most breathtaking venues in Switzerland. These are not just locations we've worked at. They are places we've experienced in depth, seen through the lens of emotion, and brought to life through our editorial photography and cinematic films.
Here are 10 of our favourite wedding venues in Switzerland — venues we know intimately, venues we've documented beautifully, and venues we wholeheartedly recommend to our couples.
1. Badrutt’s Palace Hotel – St. Moritz
A jewel of the Engadin, Badrutt’s Palace is where Alpine glamour meets timeless grandeur. With its snow-covered rooftops, candlelit ballrooms, and sweeping lake views, this venue feels like the set of a classic European film. We love capturing winter weddings here — sleigh rides through snowy streets, elegant black-tie evenings, and heartfelt moments in the historic halls.
2. The Dolder Grand – Zurich
Towering above Zurich, The Dolder Grand is a masterpiece of architecture, art, and luxury. From the gilded ballroom to the curated art collection, every corner is visually rich and emotionally resonant. It's a venue where modern design and Belle Époque elegance merge — perfect for chic city weddings with an international flair.
3. Villa Honegg – Ennetbürgen
Few places in the world feel as serene and cinematic as Villa Honegg. Perched high above Lake Lucerne, this intimate villa offers unobstructed mountain views, golden sunset light, and a level of privacy that feels truly luxurious. We adore photographing elopements and small weddings here, where each moment is deeply personal.
4. St. Charles Hall – Meggen
This neoclassical estate, nestled between forest and garden near Lucerne, is the definition of timeless romance. From rose-filled ceremonies in the garden to candlelit dinners in its historic halls, St. Charles Hall gives every wedding an ethereal, fairytale atmosphere. The light, the architecture, the intimacy — it all makes sense through the lens.
5. The Alpina Gstaad – Gstaad
Gstaad is synonymous with exclusivity, and The Alpina is its crowning jewel. This alpine retreat blends traditional chalet charm with sophisticated design, offering dramatic backdrops both inside and out. Winter weddings here feel like stepping into a dream — luxurious, cozy, and unforgettable.
6. Bürgenstock Resort – Lake Lucerne
A modern icon built high above Lake Lucerne, the Bürgenstock Resort is both majestic and minimal. Its floor-to-ceiling windows, clean lines, and panoramic views make it a visual masterpiece. We've documented everything from editorial elopements to multi-day celebrations here — and every time, it feels like a new discovery.
7. Park Hotel Vitznau – Vitznau
Park Hotel Vitznau is more than a venue — it's an experience. Set directly on the lake, this castle-like hotel is renowned for its impeccable service and refined interiors. From intimate ceremonies on the terrace to gourmet dinners beneath vaulted ceilings, every detail is curated to perfection.
8. Beau-Rivage Palace – Lausanne
There’s a reason Beau-Rivage Palace is legendary. Set on the shores of Lake Geneva, its Belle Époque charm and lakeside gardens make it a dream for couples who love grandeur and heritage. We've captured romantic ceremonies under ancient trees, golden-hour portraits by the lake, and ballroom dinners that feel like royal occasions.
9. Château de Raymontpierre – Jura
Tucked away in the lush Jura region, this historic château feels like a secret world. With its wild gardens, stone facades, and tranquil energy, it's a hidden gem for nature lovers and romantics alike. We've had the joy of documenting deeply emotional weddings here, where time seems to slow down and everything feels meaningful.
10. Grandhotel Victoria-Jungfrau – Interlaken
A Swiss icon. Nestled between two lakes and the towering Jungfrau mountains, this grand hotel offers breathtaking scenery and historic elegance. The architecture is regal, the landscape cinematic, and the sense of occasion is unparalleled. Every frame here tells a story of tradition, celebration, and beauty.
A Final Note
These venues are more than backdrops. They are living, breathing spaces that shape the emotion and atmosphere of a wedding day.
At Künzli Photography, we don’t just photograph beautiful places — we translate feeling into imagery. And because we've worked at each of these venues, we know how to capture their essence in a way that feels personal, artistic, and true.
We'd love to show you more from each location. Just get in touch — we'd be happy to share galleries, recommendations, and ideas tailored to your celebration.
Let’s make something unforgettable.
