Hochzeitshaus Schubert

In the old ballroom on Strausberg’s main shopping street

Wedding House Schubert is located on Große Straße in Strausberg, the city’s main shopping street, specifically in the building of the former ballroom. This explains the unusually large sales area: where dancing once took place, today clothes racks hang, and consultations happen in a private lounge rather than between two display stands in the salesroom. The journey from Berlin is shorter than the address might suggest. By car, it takes about 45 to 60 minutes; by train, the S5 runs towards Strausberg Nord to Strausberg Stadt station, from where it’s about a ten-minute walk. Parking spaces are usually available directly in front of the shop on Große Straße for a small fee, and free parking is available at Buchhorst, about a five-minute walk away. The business has been family-owned for over forty years, and the consultation process is well-established: two hours are allocated for an appointment, which is free and without obligation, and accompaniment is explicitly welcome. Those who need something at short notice can get in touch with the house faster by sending a message than by using the booking form.

Eleven Brands, Sizes up to 54, and 500 Suits for the Groom

The selection at Wedding House Schubert is broader than in most Berlin boutiques. Eleven wedding dress brands are available, including Lilly, Ladybird, Modeca, Kotapska, Weise, Lohrengel, and Kleemeier, with stock sizes ranging from 34 to 54. Short dresses are priced between 450 and 699 Euros, while around 500 more extravagant models range from 1,000 to 1,700 Euros, and those who need something beyond the stock sizes can order it as a special size. The groom is not an afterthought here: Approximately 500 suits hang in the store, with another 2,000 available from manufacturers’ express warehouses, along with shoes, waistcoats, shirts, suspenders, and bow ties. Bridal accessories such as veils, jewelry, belts, and ring cushions complete the ensemble. The biggest difference, however, is during the fitting: a seamstress from the in-house alteration tailor is present and directly advises on what can still be done to the dress. This saves the usual second trip to an external tailor and the uncertainty of whether a model can be made to fit at all. For brides, the house recommends a lead time of six to nine months, and for grooms, four to six months.
