A standing reception outdoors at Cantinerie

A standing reception in Berlin: up to 600 in the hall or up to 500 on the terrace

A standing reception does not put out chairs for everyone. The main hall holds about 600, the terrace about 500. Anyone who wants seats changes to about 400 in the hall or about 300 on the terrace. The 600 is the standing hour, not chairs in a line.

In short

A standing reception in Berlin uses the main hall up to about 600 or the terrace up to about 500. It is not a banquet. 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 standing reception uses the main hall or the terrace, not both as one sum and not the open air, while the number still fits in the house. 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.

Dates for this format are checked on the corporate event page.

Number

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

Chairs for everyone contradict the format. Sitting means about 400 in the main hall or about 300 on the terrace. The standing ceilings are about 600 and about 500. For the standing 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.

600 on the terrace does not exist. The terrace ends at about 500 standing. Write that higher number on the terrace and you have written past the room. The terrace, about 400 square metres, holds about 500 standing and about 300 at banquet tables. It is not added to the standing reception. An arrival there is another chapter.

Rooms

Main hall, Philosophia and terrace are not added together

Open air stays the page for numbers beyond the hall. This reception stays in the house or on the terrace, with the number that really fits there. The rooms are not added for the standing 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 Standing reception on the AEG grounds

An open middle, bars at the edge, one speech that does not take people away from the glass. The evening ends before it becomes dinner, or it is no longer a standing reception. 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.

Glasses and small plates, not place settings for the standing number. The station sits so the middle stays clear. Philosophia, about 180 square metres, holds about 100 at banquet tables and about 200 in a row. For the standing reception it is its own room or the quiet corner for production, not an extra.

Weather

Rain and Standing reception: terrace, hall, AEG grounds

Terrace first, hall as the roof. The 500 move into the hall, because about 600 standing fits there. Nothing is added while that happens. 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.

Open air stays the page for numbers beyond the hall. This reception stays in the house or on the terrace, with the number that really fits there. 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 standing reception.

Production

Kitchen and sound for Standing reception on the AEG grounds

Glasses and small plates, not place settings for the standing number. The station sits so the middle stays clear. 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

A standing crowd comes in waves, or the cloakroom blocks the door. Humboldthain and a clear time are on 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.
