    I can not say enough about the choice of venue my son and his new bride chose! Starting with the coordinator Christine! She was absolutely amazing!! Any question we had she answered! She was there from the beginning. She asked what we had planned for decor and when we told her it was an elegant Star Wars themed wedding, hence it being on May 4, 2024. She was so excited. I think she was as excited to see everything set up the day before as we were! And she was there to make sure if we needed anything or had any questions, which we did she had the answers along with the staff that was helping set the room up along with us! As for the day of the wedding I could not have asked for a more great group of people to take care of this event for us! From the serving staff making sure the food was filled and refilled and always available, clearing tables constantly but making sure you were finished before they even took a fork, glass or plate! They definitely went above and beyond! And as for the chef who prepared the food it was absolutely amazing everyone was still talking about it days after the wedding. Oh and how he made a baby Yoda out of the cheese and crackers, which he did on his own after seeing the room set up! I just think that was above and beyond. Even when it was over and we were cleaning up they were so helpful. Packed up cake for the bride and groom so they would have it for the next day! If you are looking for an elegant place and want to be treated as a person not an account this is definitely the place! I’m so happy we chose Donauschwaben German-American Cultural Center!

    We cannot say enough good things about Donauschwaben's. We knew the minute we met Christine that this was where we wanted our wedding reception to take place. Our wedding was on December 16 and everything was decorated beautifully. The food was absolutely amazing. It was the number one thing our guests raved about. It was hot and delicious!!! Christine was the easiest to work with. Anytime we had a question she responded immediately. We were stress free knowing Christine had everything handled. The Staff was professional and kind to all of our guests and that was extremely important to us. All we can say is....If you are planning a wedding reception or any event, for that matter, you will not be disappointed with Donauschwaben's!!! Thank you Christine and Staff for making our Wedding Day everything we hoped for and more!

    We recently had our wedding reception at Donauschwaben on November 11th and we would highly recommend this venue to anyone interested in having an event there. The venue is gorgeous and big enough to hold both small and large events. They decorated the venue perfectly to our specifications ensuring everything looked gorgeous and we were thrilled with the results when we arrived for our big day. The food is absolutely amazing, all of our guests were raving about how good the food was for the entirety of the event. We upgraded to the Prime Rib and it was cooked to perfection along with the other entrees and everything was absolutely delicious. The staff is very accommodating and made sure that everything went perfect and there was never a wait for a drink. We were impressed at how well the whole event went and have had all our guests mention how much they loved both the venue and food after the fact. We were extremely satisfied with our experience there and they really made our big day special.

    We booked Donauschwaben for our end of October wedding ceremony and reception. We had a large guest list of around 250 people, and had 200 attend the day's festivities. The venue fit everyone very comfortably, had a large dance floor, and the food was fantastic. Christine, the venue coordinator, was very helpful when planning our big day. We were able to come in the day before our wedding day to set up which was very much appreciated. We would recommend this venue to anyone looking to book a larger space!
