The bright reception hall with the original glass front of the old orangery.
The small chapel across the moat, with its stained-glass windows intact.
The gardens around the manor, suited to an outdoor ceremony.
The moat and drawbridge, where wedding cars can pull up close.
“Marieke arranged a short boat trip across the moat for us for photos, something we hadn't even thought of ourselves. Our guests stood watching as if it were a fairy tale.”
“Wedding cars could drive right up to the drawbridge, which made a beautiful picture as we stepped out with the manor in the background.”
“The orangery with its original glass front gave our 130 guests a bright, warm hall that still kept the atmosphere of the eighteenth-century house.”
“The manor chapel across the moat, with its stained-glass windows still intact, was the perfect spot for our short church blessing.”
“Marieke lives on the grounds herself and always replied within two days, even to detailed questions about the catering.”
“We had planned the ceremony in the gardens, but it started raining. The orangery absorbed that without any stress, everyone stayed dry and cheerful.”
