A summer reception in Berlin: a reception on the terrace, not a full summer party

A summer reception stays standing. The terrace holds about 500, the main hall about 600 if the weather turns. A dinner for the same number is the summer party and another page. The rooms are not added.

In short

A summer reception in Berlin is the reception on the terrace, not the full summer party with a meal for everyone. Cantinerie stands in Gesundbrunnen, in Mitte. The main hall holds about 400 seated and about 600 standing. The terrace holds about 500. Open air runs to about 5,000 people on up to 5,000 square metres. The rooms are not added.

Place

Gustav-Meyer-Allee 25 in Gesundbrunnen, Berlin-Mitte

The summer reception starts on the terrace. The full summer party with a seated meal stays on the summer-party page and is not sold along with this. Wedding is the former borough name and a wayfinding cue, not the borough of the address. The borough is Mitte, the locality is Gesundbrunnen, Gustav-Meyer-Allee 25.

The address is Gustav-Meyer-Allee 25, 13355 Berlin, building 17, on the ground floor. The borough is Mitte and the locality is Gesundbrunnen. S Humboldthain is about a ten-minute walk. From Hauptbahnhof the journey by train and on foot is about 30 minutes. Wedding is the former borough name and a wayfinding cue, not the borough of the address. U8 Voltastraße and Gesundbrunnen station are close. We do not invent minutes for them.

Parking on the grounds carries the build. It does not replace the footpath when many people arrive in the same minute. The invitation names the station. The walk-through starts at the gate, not at a photograph of the room.

The bookable summer party is set out on the summer party page.

Number

Summer reception in Gesundbrunnen: the figure from the walk-through

The terrace holds about 500 standing. The main hall holds about 600 standing if the weather turns. A dinner for the same number is another format with other tables. For the summer reception the seated ceiling of the main hall stays at about 400, on more than 600 square metres. A stage, a dance floor or an aisle lowers that guide. Every figure is a guide, not a blanket clearance.

Open air on up to 5,000 square metres is the next step when the number leaves the terrace. It is not a silent extension of this reception. The terrace, about 400 square metres, holds about 500 standing and about 300 at banquet tables. It is not added to the summer reception. An arrival there is another chapter.

Rooms

Main hall, Philosophia and terrace are not added together

Turn the reception into a meal for everyone and you have booked the summer party. The name reception stays with standing. The rooms are not added for the summer reception. Main hall, terrace, Philosophia and open air keep their own figures, even when a photograph makes them look like one house.

The main hall is more than 600 square metres and holds about 400 guests seated and about 600 standing. About 600 is the standing hour, not a row of chairs. A row or a parliament layout in the main hall is on request. The terrace, about 400 square metres, holds about 500 standing and about 300 for a banquet. Philosophia, about 180 square metres, holds about 200 in a row and about 100 at banquet tables.

On the AEG grounds, open air runs to about 5,000 people across up to 5,000 square metres. Those figures are not added together. Every figure is a guide, not a blanket clearance. Add the rooms and you are describing a house we do not let.

Running order

Running order for Summer reception on the AEG grounds

The arc stays standing: a welcome, a drink, a short speech, the end. Tables only for a small part, not for the whole invitation. Catering, the bar, sound and light stay with Cantinerie. A second trade crossing the courtyard is not the plan. The rehearsal sits before the gate opens.

Drinks and small stations, not courses at a hundred tables. The kitchen stays one kitchen, even if the reception moves indoors. Philosophia, about 180 square metres, holds about 100 at banquet tables and about 200 in a row. For the summer reception it is its own room or the quiet corner for production, not an extra.

Weather

Rain and Summer reception: terrace, hall, AEG grounds

Rain does not end the reception if the hall holds the named number standing. Otherwise the invitation gets smaller before it goes out. About 600 applies only as a standing hour. It is not a row of chairs. A row or a parliament layout in the main hall is on request and does not replace the format named here.

Turn the reception into a meal for everyone and you have booked the summer party. The name reception stays with standing. On the AEG grounds, open air runs to about 5,000 people across up to 5,000 square metres. That is its own format. It is not a silent cushion under the summer reception.

Production

Kitchen and sound for Summer reception on the AEG grounds

Drinks and small stations, not courses at a hundred tables. The kitchen stays one kitchen, even if the reception moves indoors. Building 17 is on the ground floor and is fully accessible. S Humboldthain is about a ten-minute walk. From Hauptbahnhof the journey by train and on foot is about 30 minutes. Guests check railway lifts themselves.

Catering, the bar, sound and light stay with Cantinerie. A second trade crossing the courtyard is not the plan. The rehearsal sits before the gate opens. Ground-level delivery keeps the build short. Philosophia can stay with production and out of the guest count.

One producer holds the kitchen and the running order. Guests see the room this format actually needs. Radios stay behind the line from the walk-through.

Arrival

Building 17, step-free, ten minutes from Humboldthain

Guests arrive while it is light and leave before the terrace is only lamps. Humboldthain is on the map in the invitation. Parking on the grounds carries the build. It does not replace the footpath when many people arrive in the same minute. The invitation names the station.

Building 17 is on the ground floor. The entrance is step-free and the venue is fully accessible. Wheelchair routes come off the raw chair count. Guests check railway lifts themselves. We do not promise the state of a lift that evening.
