Panský Dvůr: Prague's prettiest wedding destination has day-trip appeal

Though a number of Czechs believe May weddings are bad luck, come June the season for saying “ano” is in full swing.

“These days more and more people want something a little boho but with a contemporary feel,” says Dlouha who organizes weddings in the chateau’s park, on the banks of the Počernický pond.

The city of Dolní Počernice where the chateau is located is definitely worth a trip whether you plan to walk down the aisle anytime soon or not.

The village, with its triangular square lined with reconstructed farmhouses, dates to the 14th century, though its oldest preserved monument is the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, built around 1200.

“While we do host a lot of weddings,” says Dlouha, “many people come from Prague to do team buildings, private events, or simply enjoy a scenic walk on the grounds and a good meal.”

Keeping in step with casual-chic weddings of the moment, one popular summer wedding menu includes Czech classics on the grill for wedding parties from 60 up to 100 or more who stay to dance the night away in wooden-floored tents.

Not only does the multi-function complex attract wedding parties, but its Počernický Brewery, with a 120-seat summer terrace featuring a bar, grill, and smokehouse, is the perfect setting for engagement parties, rehearsal dinners, stag and hen parties, or just a fun night with a large group of friends.

“Our unique packages range from beer-tapping school, beer tasting with a bottomless keg, to billiards and cigar or chocolate tastings, or a 1930s-style swing party,” says Dlouha.

“It’s such a flexible venue and we can accommodate any number of requests. Our work is done professionally and with love. We want to make your day unforgettable,” says Dlouha.
