Maekelhoeve, in Veerle-Laakdal in the Flemish province of Antwerp, organizes company parties of up to 500 guests, plus seminars, lectures, training sessions, product launches, weddings and anniversaries. Catering is in house. The venue has more than 35 years of experience in hospitality and events and stands at Makelhoeve 3, 2431 Laakdal.
Seminars and company events
The business page describes a venue for meetings, seminars, presentations and company parties. It lists product launches, training sessions, lectures and seminars, and says audiovisual equipment and teaching materials are supported. The rooms and the garden can be booked for business events. The official text states that company parties can reach a maximum of 500 guests, spread across one or more rooms. A company can choose a sober client event or a lively party for colleagues, and the venue handles the setup and service in both cases.
Weddings and receptions
The party hall page names weddings, anniversaries, company events and other special occasions. It mentions halls, tables, buffets and terraces that the team decorates for the occasion. A room setup service is available, and in-house DJs can run the music. A cocktail bar and entertainment such as a DJ are also listed on the business page.
Rooms and capacities
The venue has several party halls that can be used separately or together. The official pages give no room names and no capacity per room, only the overall figure of 500 guests for company parties. A free brochure and a contact form are offered for room details, so ask for the plan and the capacity of each hall in the layout you need. A seminar of 40 people and a party of 400 will not use the same rooms.
Catering
The team cooks in house. Options include walking dinners and multi-course dinners, with matching wines on culinary events. The venue's regular public formats show the style of its kitchen. Its Dinner and Dance evenings use a seven-course formula, and its Sunday lunch serves seven courses, from small starters to a cheese board and a parade of desserts. For a private event you build the menu with the team.
Facilities
Free wifi is available. The business page mentions ample parking for guests, and the location is close to the E313 motorway, which helps groups arriving by car or coach. Accommodation is not mentioned on the official site, so guests who stay overnight need a separate hotel.
History and setting
The venue is a farm-style estate in the village of Veerle, in the municipality of Laakdal. The official text says the team brings more than 35 years of experience in hospitality and the event sector, with personal guidance throughout the organization. Its public calendar shows regular Dinner and Dance evenings and Sunday lunches, so the house runs as a working restaurant and party venue.
Getting there
The address is Makelhoeve 3, 2431 Veerle-Laakdal. The site mentions the E313 motorway nearby and parking for guests. It gives no public transport details, so plan a car or coach for most groups.
