Svinningegården, a farm estate in Svinninge near Holbæk, hosts weekday conferences, weddings, parties and company events for up to 130 guests. The estate has a banquet hall, a lounge, an industrial kitchen, an apple orchard and a park with a garden lake, and 15 bedrooms with 40 beds on site.
Seminars and company events
Conferences can be held on any weekday. The estate sells three formats: a day meeting, a conference day with an overnight stay, and a two-day stay. Each one includes breakfast on arrival, coffee, tea and ice water with fruit and nuts, lunch with a soft drink or beer and an afternoon treat. The overnight formats add a three-course dinner in the banquet hall and breakfast the next morning. Breaks and working sessions take place in the lounge, which has a projector, a video bar and a flip chart. Overnight conference guests sleep in single rooms in the main building, with a maximum of 11 of them.
Teams that want to leave the meeting room can combine the conference with the clay pigeon shooting that the estate offers. The activity park also lists paintball, tree climbing, rope climbing, paddleboarding on the garden lake, archery and ring riding with a telescopic loader.
Weddings and receptions
The wedding offer is built around a full weekend. The rental runs from Saturday at 10:00 to Sunday at 13:00 and covers the banquet hall, the lounge, the industrial kitchen and five toilets, with room for 130 guests. The apple orchard with a terrace and lounge furniture is included, as is the park behind the main building. The park has a garden lake and a lake pavilion that suit a reception, a ceremony or photographs.
Tables, chairs, white tablecloths, tableware, glasses and candles come with the hall, together with a bar with a draught beer system and a music system with Spotify. A flag alley, free wifi and the loan of a projector are also listed. Three catering packages build on this. They cover a champagne reception, a three-course gourmet menu with three snacks, a wine menu, coffee and tea in the lounge, serving staff, a late-night snack, a five-hour open bar, a DJ for five hours and a ceremony in the park.
One-day events such as confirmations, christenings or lunch parties can rent the hall for a single day instead of the whole weekend.
Accommodation
The wedding package includes 15 bedrooms with 40 beds in total. The site states that the rooms have no private bathroom. Double and single rooms are offered, and a brunch buffet can be added the next morning. For larger parties the estate lists a glamping village of 12 tents for 24 people, with a toilet trailer and electricity, and single tents can be booked separately.
Catering
The estate puts gastronomy first and has a sommelier who helps hosts choose wines for a party. Conferences include breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the wedding packages cover the whole evening from reception to late-night snack.
History and setting
Svinningegården is a crop farm that dates back to 1783, when the Castenschiold family owned it. Over the 20th century it passed through only two families, and the current owner's family has held it since 1924. The main building was altered several times and today stands out for its black glazed tiles against a white facade. The farm buildings have served as a grain store, a cow barn and storage.
Getting there
The address is Svinningegården 5, 4520 Svinninge, in the municipality of Holbæk on Zealand.
