TotSlot Heemstede is a historic estate with a moat, an orchard and a bright dining room, used for meetings, private dinners, cooking workshops and weddings of up to 50 guests. It stands at Ir. Lelylaan 2-4 in Heemstede, fifteen minutes from Haarlem and twenty-five from Amsterdam Zuid. Guests arrive through the Duivenpoort and over the Vredesbrug, and the site also has a jetty on the Ringvaart for arrival by boat.
Seminars and company events
TotSlot offers meetings, brainstorming days and finance sessions by the part-day, Monday to Friday. A four-hour block runs from 9:00 to 13:00 or from 13:30 to 17:30, and a full day from 9:00 to 17:00. Both are all-inclusive: a flip-over, a projector, a fast fibre connection, unlimited coffee, tea, water, homemade lemonade and smoothies, sweet snacks from the estate's own kitchen, and a lunch board with rolls, soup and salad.
The estate can be customised in many ways. Guests can be collected by boat from the Gravestenenbrug on the Spaarne in Haarlem and sailed back at the end of the day. A meeting can also be combined with a cooking workshop in the evening, or with outdoor team-building activities. The site does not state a maximum group size for meetings, so confirm numbers with the team.
Weddings and receptions
TotSlot is an official wedding location. The all-inclusive wedding arrangement is set for up to 50 guests. The ceremony takes place in the orchard, and the Duivenpoort, the Vredesbrug and the moat serve as backdrops for photographs. A couple can arrive from 11:00, and the day covers the ceremony, a toast with cake, then a reception and dinner. The couple have a private dressing room, and the terrace extends the space outside. After dinner, guests can leave by boat from the jetty or take a canal tour through Haarlem. The estate can also collect guests after a civil ceremony at Haarlem's town hall.
Rooms and capacities
The venue gives 50 as its dinner capacity. The main spaces are the dining room, which has a view of the greenery, the open kitchen, the large terrace and the orchard. The site does not publish seated capacities for each space or the maximum for meetings. Private dining at the estate is exclusive, according to the venue, with a chef-led evening for a table of guests.
Accommodation
The official pages do not mention overnight stays on site. For multi-day programmes, ask the team about hotels nearby, or plan around the short distance to Haarlem and Amsterdam.
Catering
The kitchen is the centre of the venue. Meeting days include a lunch board and snacks from the estate's own kitchen, and the wedding day can be fully catered, from reception to dinner. Cooking workshops last about four and a half hours, and a dinner club runs for individual guests. The site gives no menu details for weddings, so request a proposal.
