Celebrations at Gasthaus Jana – a hall for weddings, birthdays, christenings and funeral receptions in Dürnkrut
Gasthaus Jana in Dürnkrut has its own dining hall for celebrations: birthdays and milestone anniversaries, smaller weddings, christenings, funeral receptions, company and Christmas parties and club meetings. Menus are discussed personally rather than sold as fixed packages. Dates are arranged by phone.
Which celebrations can be held at Gasthaus Jana?
The hall at Gasthaus Jana is the room for the occasions that have always been held in a village inn in the Weinviertel — from a milestone birthday to a funeral reception. Among others, we host:
- Birthdays and milestone anniversaries — with family and neighbours
- Smaller weddings — civil ceremony, reception drinks, wedding dinner
- Christenings, first communion and confirmation — the meal after church
- Funeral receptions and memorial gatherings — unhurried and quiet
- Company and Christmas parties — year-end dinners for businesses in the Marchfeld and Weinviertel
- Club meetings and annual general meetings — fire brigade, sports club, pensioners association
- Class and year-group reunions
- Stag and hen nights, engagements, name days and anything else worth raising a glass to
How is a celebration planned?
It starts with a phone call. We go through the date, the approximate number of guests and what should be on the table — in person, not through a form. From that comes a menu proposal that can still be changed shortly before the event. We deliberately do not sell fixed packages with a set price per head: a christening for fifteen people needs something different from a company evening.
What food is served at a celebration?
The starting point is the regular menu — schnitzels, grilled cutlets, wedding-style beef roast with bread dumplings, fried zander, soups and cold platters. Much of it can be served in bowls for the table or as a set menu. Requests from Bohemian cuisine are a matter of course, as are meatless dishes for individual guests. You are welcome to bring your own cake.
A funeral reception at Gasthaus Jana
After a funeral nobody wants to organise anything. A short call with the date, time and rough number of guests is enough — we take care of the rest. The hall is quiet and separate from the regular restaurant, with no fixed time limit. If it has to happen at short notice, say so on the call; in these cases short notice is the rule rather than the exception.
When is the hall available?
That depends on the date and changes constantly, which is why we keep no online calendar. Call with your preferred date and you will get a binding answer straight away. We will also clarify whether a celebration is possible on one of the closing days.
Why celebrate at the inn rather than at home?
- No one in the family spends the whole day in the kitchen
- No cleaning up, no washing up, no borrowing furniture
- Drinks are billed by consumption, not bought in advance
- Free parking in front of the house and in the side streets
- Guests from further away can stay overnight in the house
- Dürnkrut lies between Vienna, Bratislava and South Moravia
How do I book a date?
