Bekvem is a restaurant and event house where an organizer can run a seminar, a company dinner, a wedding or a private party for up to 100 guests. The venue is a white house beside Brabrand Lake in Viby J, on the southern edge of Aarhus, Denmark. It offers two daylight rooms, a smaller café room and a kitchen that cooks everything in-house.
Seminars and company events
Bekvem lists a conference and meeting offer with half-day and full-day catering formats. The two main rooms have high windows and plenty of natural light, which suits day-long sessions. Technical equipment is on site: two high-definition projectors (5,500 and 3,000 lumens), a sound system, whiteboards, flipcharts and wireless internet. The café room seats 30 and works for a board lunch, a workshop or a private dining table next to a larger event.
Weddings and receptions
The house markets a wedding format with views over Brabrand Lake and the surrounding nature. The sample wedding day runs from 3 p.m. to 2 a.m., with extra hours possible by arrangement. It starts with a reception of small bites and sparkling wine, continues with a starter plate, a choice of two intermediate dishes, a choice of two main courses (Danish beef or fish), dessert, coffee and sweets, and ends with a late-night snack. Wine is paired to the menu, and a cocktail bar can be added. The team adapts the menu to the couple's wishes. The same rooms host christenings, confirmations, brunches and other family parties.
Rooms and capacities
The larger room holds 100 people and the second room holds 50. The café room holds 30. The site does not give separate figures for theatre, classroom or banquet layouts, so ask for the seating plan that matches your format. The three spaces can run side by side, which lets an organizer keep a plenary, a breakout group and a private table under one roof.
Catering
Cooking is done from scratch with as many Danish ingredients as possible. Fish comes from Havnens Fiskehus, the harbor fish shop, and beef comes from the Grambogård farm. Vegetables and fruit follow the season. The restaurant keeps a wine list and runs regular wine and beer tastings, which can be added to a team evening. Separate menus exist for conference days, brunch, weddings and other parties.
History and setting
The house stands on Norringholmsvej, right at the water of Brabrand Lake, a lake on the southern side of Aarhus. The site describes a calm, light interior and a view that complements the food. It does not give a construction date or an architect.
Getting there
The address is Norringholmsvej 32, 8260 Viby J, in the Aarhus municipality. Contact the team by phone or e-mail to confirm parking, public transport and any accommodation partner, since the website does not describe them.
