About the venue
Buitenplaats Bosch en Beek takes its name from the beech forest bordering one side of the estate and the stream running through it, crossed by a wooden bridge that has appeared in nearly every wedding photo here for the last thirty years. The orangery, built in 1895, is the standing reception hall and looks out over the pond through tall windows.
Estate manager Anneke Smeets has worked here for fifteen years and knows the best light by the bridge for the photographer by heart. She usually replies within two days. The orangery seats 150 to 320 guests, with an in-house kitchen, a bar that is not mandatory, a covered terrace as backup in case of rain, and free parking on the estate.

Recommendations
6 recommendations“The wooden bridge over the pond has clearly been photographed at a thousand weddings, and yet it didn't feel cliché when we stood there. Anneke knew exactly the best moment for the light.”
“The 1895 orangery with those tall windows onto the pond is really something other than a standard hall. With 300 guests it still felt spacious.”
“Anneke has worked here for fifteen years and you can tell, she anticipated things we hadn't even thought of yet.”
“The beech forest at the edge of the estate gave our ceremony a quiet stillness, away from all the bustle.”
“It started raining right before dinner, but the covered terrace handled it without a problem. Nobody had to shelter indoors.”
“Not the cheapest option in the region, but with the orangery, the pond and the forest included, you understand why.”
