De Aker is a multifunctional meeting and event venue in Putten, at Fontanusplein 2. It hosts gatherings from 10 guests up to 250 visitors across 12 rooms of different sizes, with its own kitchen providing the catering. Organizers book it for meetings, workshops, trainings, congresses and private celebrations.
Seminars and company events
The venue sells small meetings, workshops and trainings, and congresses and business events. For a large event, the main hall Groot Spriel combined with the foyer offers 365 square meters, suited to a trade floor or a plenary session with many participants. The smaller rooms then handle workshops, break-out sessions and parallel program items. Three meeting packages are published. The 2-hour and 4-hour packages include one half-day of room hire and the 8-hour package includes two. All three include a TV screen or a projector with screen, a sound system and microphones, unlimited coffee, tea and water, a notepad with pen, wifi, a flip chart with paper and markers, a sweet treat on arrival and a bowl of candy. The 4-hour and 8-hour packages add fresh fruit and a lunch served in the room. The 8-hour package adds a drink at a time of your choice. A tailored package can be built for a congress.
Weddings and receptions
The home page lists weddings among the occasions the venue handles, alongside parties and gatherings. The private offer also covers buffets and year-end menus. Ask the team for room choice and capacity for a wedding party.
