La Ferme de Hepsée hosts weddings, seminars, conferences, training days, product launches and family celebrations, with two connecting rooms that each seat up to 200 guests and can be hired separately or together. A meeting room, gardens and a covered terrace complete the site. The venue is a renovated farm run by the same family for several generations, at Rue de Hepsée 9 in Verlaine, in the province of Liège, Belgium.
Seminars and company events
The farm takes meetings, seminars, conferences, training days, product launches and team-building sessions. Each room has a video projector, a screen, a sound system and Wi-Fi, and can be set in U-shape, theater, classroom or island layouts. Coffee breaks, business lunches and dinners, and receptions are handled by the in-house caterer. The terrace and garden serve for breaks, networking and outdoor team activities. The venue builds a quote after a site visit and recommends booking early.
Weddings and receptions
Couples can hold the ceremony and the reception in the same place. The gardens and terraces can be arranged for a secular outdoor ceremony, followed by drinks, an outdoor meal or dinner in one of the rooms. For weddings, the room is available the evening before for decoration. Furniture, tableware, tablecloths, a sound system and cleaning are included. Families with children can rent an inflatable castle. DJ entertainment is provided only by L'Orchidée Blanche. The team helps with the menu and the room layout, and the venue also takes communions, birthdays and other family parties.
Rooms and capacities
Salle 1, a renovated former barn and cowshed, seats 200 at banquet tables. Salle 2 seats up to 200 at round tables in an L-shaped layout. Both rooms are on the ground floor and linked by a corridor, so a group can use one for dinner and the other for dancing or a second session. The upper floor gives extra space. The covered front terrace is open from April to mid-November for drinks and dancing, and the gardens suit a reception or an outdoor meal. A separate meeting room serves smaller business groups.
Catering
Catering is handled in-house, with menus adapted to each event, from coffee breaks and business meals to wedding dinners and personalized receptions. The farm also runs a brasserie on Tuesday evenings with burgers, pasta and themed meals.
History and setting
The farm buildings were renovated to keep the character of the former agricultural site while adding modern comfort. The setting is rural, with gardens and terraces around the rooms, and the same family has run the place for several generations.
Getting there
The address is Rue de Hepsée 9, 4537 Verlaine, in the countryside west of Liège. The E42 motorway runs close to the village, and there are two car parks on site. Liège Airport is the nearest airport, and Brussels Airport is about an hour away by road.
