Around 200 guests danced late into the night at the Romantik Hotel auf der Wartburg summer party
At the beginning of the summer fun, however, the rain initially caused the program to be changed. However, the good-humored guests were not disturbed by this and actively helped to clear the tables in the Wartburg's Wappensaal. Even the opening speech by hotel director Hannes Horsch was wetter than planned due to the downpour. Fortunately, the rain subsided afterwards and the 200 or so guests feasted and danced the night away at a summer chic party full of style, extravagance and charm until the early hours of the morning. The band "GOLDEN MARY" and DJ Darryl Ferrandino provided the perfect soundtrack
.The welcome drink, refreshing cocktails, wine, champagne, gin from the Eisenach-based manufacturer Martins Gink and the large dessert buffet turned the night into a summery delight and were highly praised by the visitors. The light show on the historic façade of the hotel was also met with enthusiasm.
