About the venue
Buitenplaats Vliethof sits with its front garden directly on the Vliet, the waterway along which Leiden’s regents built their summer houses as early as the seventeenth century. The current main house dates from 1861, but the small chapel in the garden, originally built for the estate’s staff, is a century older and is still used for a short church blessing before the celebration.
Manager Bram Kuiper arranges the blessing in the chapel on request and makes sure the couple walks the path along the pond to the reception hall, where dinner is served. He usually replies within a day. The hall seats 60 to 150 guests, with an in-house kitchen, alcohol permitted at a bar that is not mandatory, and free parking in the back yard.

Recommendations
6 recommendations“We wanted a short church blessing before the celebration, and the little chapel in the garden, older than the main house itself, was perfect for that. Bram arranged everything without any fuss.”
“The path along the pond to the reception hall is just long enough to catch your breath after the ceremony. Our photographer was thrilled with it.”
“We had 140 guests and the hall felt just right, not overcrowded. Parking in the back yard was a bit tight when everyone arrived at once, but it sorted itself out.”
“Seventeenth-century atmosphere, twenty-first-century ease. Bram always replied within a day.”
“The front garden really does sit right on the Vliet, the same waterway where Leiden's regents once built their summer houses. Our foreign guests found that story almost as lovely as the wedding itself.”
“Nice that the bar wasn't mandatory, we brought our own wine for dinner. Bram simply went along with it.”
