Catering can cover the whole day, from breakfast to dinner.
Weddings and receptions
The venue lists weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, christenings, communions and memorial gatherings for 15 to 90 guests. The garden with its terrace serves for sparkling wine receptions and open-air ceremonies. It has lounge furniture, outdoor lighting and patio heaters, and the wedding page states that the garden stays open until 10 p.m. Indoors there is no closing time, so a celebration can run open end. A dance floor, a DJ area and lighting design are already in place, and one contact person follows the project from the first inquiry to the end of the evening. A viewing of the space is offered before booking.
Rooms and capacities
There are two areas. The loft has a wood floor, floor-to-ceiling windows and an open ceiling structure. It holds up to 50 guests seated or up to 90 standing, and can be laid out in block, U-shape, theater or banquet-table formats. The same room is used for a ceremony, a dinner, a workshop or a party. The garden and terrace are used for receptions and ceremonies, with lounge seating on a lawn.
Catering
The in-house kitchen cooks seasonal and regional dishes, and every menu is developed with the client. Formats include buffet, set menu, flying finger food and brunch, and a tasting appointment is part of the planning. The pricing model is modular: you rent the space as a base and add only what you need, such as service staff, catering and drinks, technology, decoration, a DJ or a photo booth.
