“We got married literally under the milling gear, with the sails turning on wind power during our ceremony. Wouter gave our guests a tour of the mill himself.”
“With 50 guests the ceremony room was filled just right, not too full and not too empty. The wooden beams and flour dust gave an atmosphere you don't get anywhere else.”
“After the ceremony we walked through to the kitchen garden by the entrance for the first toast, exactly as Wouter had described. The canal-side terrace was perfect for photos afterwards.”
“Wouter replied within a day to our very first email and kept that up throughout the whole preparation. Free parking in the yard was welcome, since there's otherwise little parking nearby.”
“The mill was actually turning on the day of our wedding, which was a remarkable sight for my English-speaking in-laws. Wouter explained everything in English too during the tour.”
