Atelier Eupen is an event location in a former cloth factory on the edge of the Hertogenwald forest, in the Hütte district of Eupen, Belgium. It hosts weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, presentations and company events for groups from 20 people up to 450 guests. The kitchen and service team belong to the venue, so food, service and the hall come from one contact.
Seminars and company events
The official site names presentations among the events it hosts, and it describes a restaurant with a bar and a lounge corner and a historic mill for smaller groups. A team of 15 permanent staff, extended with experienced service people when needed, runs the day. For a company evening, a product launch or a client dinner, the range of formats is wide: buffets, barbecues and multi-course menus in Belgian, French or international cuisine. The site does not describe projectors, daylight meeting rooms or a seminar package. Ask the team what technical equipment they can arrange.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings, christenings, first communions, birthdays and anniversaries are all listed under Feste feiern, the party section of the site. The host, Samira Heinen-Boudri, says she likes to prepare one of the most important days for guests, and the team presents itself as a trio: Marc Nüchtern, chef Stefan Heinen and Samira Heinen-Boudri. The venue has been known for its hospitality across the Meuse-Rhine Euregio for more than ten years, according to its own text. Guests can celebrate in the large halls, with room for up to 450 people.
Rooms and capacities
The site states that up to 450 people can celebrate in the Atelier. For the opposite case, it gives two smaller settings. The first is the restaurant, with a bar and a lounge corner. The second is the historic mill, which the team offers for groups from 20 people. The site does not publish the number of halls, their floor areas or separate seated and standing capacities, so request a plan and a layout for your date. Visitors can also see photographs and videos of past events on the site.
Catering
Catering is a core service. Chef Stefan Heinen has led the kitchen since 2011 and became a partner in the business in 2019. He cooks with fresh, seasonal products, and the grounds grow their own fruit and vegetables. The venue also keeps bees and offers its own honey. Menus can be Belgian, French or international, in the form of buffets, barbecues or served courses. The team also caters at home or at another location of your choice. On weekdays from Tuesday to Friday the restaurant serves a lunch menu.
Accommodation
The navigation of the official site includes a page called Unterkünfte, which means accommodation. We could not read its content, so check with the venue whether rooms are offered and how many.
History and setting
The halls are historic buildings of a former cloth-making factory. A large estate with very old trees surrounds them, and the river Hill runs along the edge of the park. The founder, Marc Nüchtern, started the Atelier, and since 2019 the management is shared with Stefan Heinen and Samira Heinen-Boudri. The venue sits beside the Hertogenwald, the forest south of Eupen.
