Onder de Toren is an event and meeting center in the middle of Elst, next to the Grote Kerk, between Arnhem and Nijmegen in the Netherlands. It rents rooms for business meetings, workshops, trainings, presentations, business drinks, receptions and parties. The largest party room takes 40 to 120 guests, and two smaller rooms seat up to 15 people for meetings. The owners report more than 25 years of experience in hospitality.
Seminars and company events
The business page of the website lists workshops, presentations, trainings, courses, business drinks and meetings. The rooms differ in character, and the team offers to advise on the layout and dressing of each room for the occasion. It is a practical, local venue rather than a conference hotel, and it suits regional teams, associations and companies that want a central room with parking.
Two small rooms, Room 6 and Room 7, are described as cozy and suited to meetings of up to 15 people. For a larger session, the ground-floor hall can be used as a whole, and the bar area can be added to it.
Weddings and receptions
Parties are part of the offer: birthdays, anniversaries, receptions and similar celebrations. The website does not present a wedding package, so a couple should ask directly whether a ceremony or wedding dinner fits. Room 5 is described as suitable for parties from 40 to 120 guests and for performances, for example choir rehearsals. The venue also runs its own program, including a live music evening on the third Friday of the month and salsa nights, which shows that the rooms and bar are used for evening events.
Rooms and capacities
- Room 1 and 2: the multifunctional ground-floor hall, usable in full and, if needed, together with the bar area.
- Room 5: parties from 40 to 120 guests, performances and rehearsals.
- Room 6 and Room 7: meetings of up to 15 people each.

- Terrace: open in good weather.
Capacities for Room 1 and 2 are not given on the site pages we read.
Catering
The center has a bar. The pages we read do not list menus, packages or a caterer, so ask the team what an event can include and whether an external caterer is allowed.
Getting there
The center is at Sint Maartenstraat 34 in Elst, beside the Grote Kerk. The website says it is easy to reach by public transport thanks to its position between Arnhem and Nijmegen, and that free parking is available on its own grounds. A contact form, an email address and a phone number are listed for room booking.
