Salons Van Dijck in Mechelen hosts company parties, business lunches, galas, dinners and wedding receptions for 10 to 500 guests. Six rooms are spread over a renovated sixteenth-century building at Frederik de Merodestraat 33, within walking distance of the Grote Markt.
Seminars and company events
The venue welcomes companies as well as private clients. Its site names two business uses: a company party, and a lunch with business partners in a pleasant, inspiring setting. The team sets up the rooms flexibly according to the goal of the event, so the same address can serve a small working session or a large staff celebration.
For a short meeting or a working lunch, the Meeting room on the first floor holds 20 people. The Historic Salon, also on the first floor, holds 40. Bar 33 and the Summer Garden & Bar each take 20 to 40 guests, which suits a reception before or after a conference elsewhere in the city. For a staff party or a client evening, the Mockenborg room scales up to 140 guests and the Ballroom to 500.
Weddings and receptions
Wedding parties, dinners and galas are listed among the events the team organizes. The site says the team plans the whole day, from the room layout to the details that guests remember. Couples and families can choose a room by size, from the Historic Salon at 40 guests to the Ballroom, which the site gives as 350 to 500 guests depending on the layout.
Rooms and capacities
The site lists six rooms and gives each one a capacity that changes with the layout. The Ballroom takes 350 to 500 people. Mockenborg takes 80 to 140. Bar 33 and the Summer Garden & Bar take 20 to 40 each. The Historic Salon takes 40, and the Meeting room takes 20. In total, the rooms cover groups from 10 to 500 guests.
Each room has a video tour on the website, which helps to compare layouts before a site visit. The site also offers a virtual tour of the renovated rooms.
Catering
The team presents itself under the name Huis Van Dijck and says that food is made in house. Its own posts mention seasonal products and homemade dishes. Ask the team which menu formats, from a seated dinner to a standing reception, fit your guest count and room.
History and setting
The festive salons date from the sixteenth century. They were renovated over about a year and reopened in 2020. The renovation brought in daylight and places historic details beside contemporary architecture. The address sits in the historic center of Mechelen, a short walk from the Grote Markt, so guests arriving from outside the city can find it on foot once they reach the center.
Getting there
Mechelen is between Brussels and Antwerp. The venue is at Frederik de Merodestraat 33, 2800 Mechelen, and the site says it is within walking distance of the Grote Markt. Brussels Airport is the nearest international airport.
