Destination Weddings in Obernai
To marry in Obernai, Alsace is to select a picture perfect 12th century town nestled beneath Mont Sainte Odile and lying in the heart of the wine growing country. Nowhere in Alsace can you find a more Alsatian flavour and atmosphere. Strolling through its narrow streets you will discover a monochrome sea of beautiful roofs of Alsatian style houses and absorb the history of your surroundings. Obernai boasts a picturesque Place du Marché (square) that has been the heartbeat of the town for centuries and still is the site of a daily market. Here you can experience the full gastronomic delights of this region from goat cheeses to fruity Alsacian wines. A wedding reception in Alsace is always a delight to the palate as well as the eye. This is an old town with narrow winding streets and rows of pointed gables. The phrase “storybook village” could easily describe Obernai.
The official wedding hall where civil ceremonies take place has retained some of the features from the 14th – 17th century. The facade adorned with oriel and beautiful curved balcony was added in 1604.
The main attraction of Obernai is Mont Sainte Odile, an old castle and convent named after Odile the patron saint of this region. A wall winds its way to the top of Mont Sainte Odile and is testament to a human presence in the area dating back to prehistoric times. Surrounded by conifer forests this setting affords spectacular views of the wine country, the lushness of the vines stretching out as far as the eye can see and the traditional Alsatian style village. Obernai is a magical setting for couples wishing to marry in Alsace.
