Salons Ten Boogaerde in Kortemark, West Flanders, hosts company seminars, staff parties, product launches, receptions and weddings for 25 to 350 guests. The venue runs three halls, a glass-walled Orangerie, a garden and a car park, and its own kitchen handles the catering for every format.
Seminars and company events
The venue states that it welcomes seminars, incentives, staff parties, meetings, product launches and networking events. Its corporate offer is built on all-in formulas, so an organiser can book the room, the food and the service in one go. The team publishes separate seminar sheets for a half day with a sandwich lunch, a half day with lunch or dinner, a half day with a walking dinner, a half day with a breakfast formula and a full day with lunch. A further sheet covers room hire without catering, for groups that bring their own provider.
Because there are several halls, an event can stay small or grow. A department meeting fits in a smaller room. A company party can use the main hall, De Druivelaar. For staff parties the venue also offers a brunch format, exclusive use of the whole premises, or a combination with team building. A corporate brochure is available on request through the website.
The site lists recurring clients that return every year for seminars, among them Roularta Media Group, Syngenta Seeds, CTG Belgium, Voeders Degraeve, Fiat Services and CNH Belgium.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are one of the venue's main activities. Receptions take place in De Orangerie, a renovated glass reception hall that opens onto a flower garden, and the garden itself is used for the start of the day when the weather allows. The Druivelaar hosts the evening celebration. A separate bridal suite, De Bruidssuite, is part of the property. The venue also hosts communion parties, banquets, fashion shows and memorial meals.
Rooms and capacities
The three halls together seat between 25 and 350 guests, according to the venue. De Druivelaar is the main hall and is stated for 250 people. De Kerselaar is the smaller room, for 10 to 40 guests, and also serves as the restaurant. De Orangerie is the glass hall used for receptions. Outside, De Tuin is the garden and De Parking is listed as a bookable space of its own. Floor areas and room-by-room seating plans are not published online, so ask for them when you send a request.
Catering
Everything is cooked in house by the owners' team, who work only with fresh products. Menus are offered as all-in packages that include a house aperitif with appetizers, regular drinks and wine up to the coffee. Variations exist for sparkling wine and selected wines. A signature menu and a weekly suggestion menu show the style of the kitchen, which is classic Belgian with seasonal dishes. Alternatives are offered when a guest does not eat a dish. A catering service and take-away are also available.
Getting there
The venue is at Hoogledestraat 97a, 8610 Kortemark, in the heart of West Flanders. It has a dedicated car park. It is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, so plan site visits from Wednesday to Sunday.
