About the venue
De Oude Korenmolen is a still-working grain mill just outside Zwolle, where the ground floor of the tower has been fitted out as an intimate ceremony room rather than converted into a standard party hall. The miller still turns the sails on wind power when the weather allows, and guests marry literally under the milling gear, with wooden beams and flour dust as the backdrop instead of rented decor.
The room seats around 85 guests, small enough to keep every detail personal. Miller Wouter Bakker, who usually replies within a day, gives the wedding party the mill tour himself and keeps a kitchen garden by the entrance where the first toast is raised after the ceremony. Free parking in the yard and a terrace along the canal round out the rest of the afternoon.

Recommendations
5 recommendations“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.”
