Every employee may bring one guest. Kids very welcome β€” childcare corner from 15:00.

🌦️

Weather

Mostly outdoors, with a marquee if it rains. The party happens either way, we're Bavarians.

It's back, and it's bigger than 2026

After last year's party (the less said about the proximity of Anna's drone and the catering tent, the better), we're going bigger for 2027: a proper country estate south of Munich, a longer band set, and β€” by popular demand, and we do mean *popular* β€” the return of the relay race.

The whole afternoon and evening is paid for by the company, including food, drinks and the shuttle. All we need from you is an RSVP so the caterers stop emailing Tanja in ALL CAPS.

Yes, I'm coming

Evening

  • Address: Sonnenhausen 4, 85653 Aying
  • Parking: on site, but the shuttle is honestly nicer
  • Step-free access to the terrace, marquee and barn

Questions people keep asking

Can I bring my kids?

Yes. There's a supervised childcare corner from 15:00 to 20:00 with two professionals from Kunterbunt MΓΌnchen, plus a quiet family tent for the smaller ones who need a nap mid-party. Under-16s should head home with the 20:00 shuttle.

What if it rains?

The marquee seats everyone for dinner, and the barn holds the band, bar and karaoke. Only the relay race gets moved or cancelled β€” the lawn can take a bit of water but not 200 people sprinting on it.

Is there a vegetarian/vegan/gluten-free option?

All of the above, clearly labelled, plus halal and kosher on request. Flag dietary needs in your RSVP form and the caterers (Genusswerk) will take care of it.

Can I bring my dog?

We love dogs, and last year's party had three golden retrievers and one deeply smug dachshund. Dogs on a leash are welcome in the garden area, just not in the barn or around the buffet.

What's the RSVP deadline again?

Friday, 14 May 2027. We need final headcounts for catering and shuttle sizes. Late RSVPs are possible but you might be eating whatever's left, and that's on you.

More questions β€” dress code, parking, dogs, the lot β€” live on the FAQ page.

See you there?

It takes about two minutes and helps Tanja keep her sanity.
