Vandværket is an event venue in Copenhagen NV that takes bookings from 5 up to 600 guests. The rooms sit in a waterworks building more than 100 years old, designed by an architect and converted into event space in 2018. Organisers use it for conferences, staff meetings, kick-offs, summer parties, Christmas lunches, weddings and family celebrations. It is run by K13 Events, which also operates other locations.
Seminars and company events
The venue offers meeting and conference formats from a short staff meeting to a launch event. The rooms are laid out to match the group, whether that is a small leadership meeting or a larger conference. The team supplies the technical equipment, including AV gear and a fast internet connection, so presentations can run without outside suppliers.
For a full-day conference, the standard format covers up to eight hours. It includes coffee, tea, fruit and ice water throughout the day, a light breakfast, the venue's lunch menu, afternoon cake, AV equipment, and setup, cleaning and running of the day. A separate dinner format runs up to four hours with welcome drinks and snacks, a three-course dinner, wine for the starter and main course, soft drinks, beer, coffee and tea, table setting with napkins and candles, and room hire, staff and cleaning. A bar, dessert wine, late-night food, flowers, tablecloths, entertainment and music can be added.
Company parties and Christmas lunches follow the same logic. The team adapts the event to the request and recommends a visit to see the rooms before booking.
Weddings and receptions
Wedding bookings are handled by the K13 team through a booking form or by phone. Two formats are published. The first is a dinner of up to four hours. The second is dinner and party for up to eight hours. Both include welcome drinks and snacks, a three-course dinner, red and white wine with the starter and main course, soft drinks and beer, coffee and tea, table setting with napkins and candles, room hire, staff and cleaning. Flowers and tablecloths are not included. Extra hours, a bar, dessert wine, late-night food, entertainment and music can be added. The venue says it aims to answer within two working days and advises couples to ask early, because popular dates are often booked years ahead.
Rooms and capacities
The official site states that the venue has several rooms, so a gathering can be as small as 2 to 5 people or as large as 600. Individual rooms are not named or measured on the pages we could read, so the exact capacity of each room has to be confirmed with the venue. The meeting offer mentions flexible meeting rooms that are adapted to the group size, and an outdoor area next to the building where guests can take a break.
Catering
Food is prepared by the venue's own catering team, which tailors the menu to the group. Day packages include a lunch menu and afternoon cake, and dinner packages follow the three-course format described above. The site notes a food safety smiley report from the Danish authority and says the team can handle the whole event.
History and setting
The building was a working waterworks that played a role in Copenhagen's water supply before it was renovated and reopened as an event venue in 2018. The old boiler building keeps its raw industrial character, and the renovation adds modern comfort and technical facilities. The result mixes old structure with a fully refurbished interior.
Getting there
Vandværket is at Rabarbervej 2, 2400 Copenhagen NV, near Borups Allé where Nordvest, Vanløse and Frederiksberg meet. The site describes the location as central and easy to reach by car and public transport. A parking page is published on the official site, so organisers can plan arrivals for larger groups.
