About the venue
Borg Wolthuizen is one of the last inhabited manor houses in Ten Boer, in the Groningen countryside, built in 1741 on the foundations of a medieval stins and still ringed by its original moat. The orangery on the south side, once used to overwinter citrus trees, has been converted into a bright reception hall with its original glass front intact. Across the moat stands the small manor chapel, where weddings have been given a church blessing since the nineteenth century.
The manor seats 60 to 140 guests and works with a fixed caterer that has partnered with the estate for fifteen years. Steward Marieke Hazenberg lives on the grounds herself, usually replies within two days, and can arrange a short boat trip across the moat for the couple on request. Wedding cars can drive up to the drawbridge, parking on the grounds is free, and the gardens suit an outdoor ceremony with the orangery as a rain backup.

Recommendations
6 recommendations“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.”
