The main hall built around the original copper brew kettles.
The raised balcony overlooking the whole hall, suited to the reception drinks.
The reception area near the entrance, where guests gather before the party.
The full bar beneath the kettles, with alcohol included for the whole evening.
“The kettle hall is exactly as striking as the photos promise. All 220 of our guests had a clear view of the copper kettles, no pillar breaking the sightline. It felt more like getting married in a museum than in a rented hall.”
“Sofie Bakker replied to every question we had within a day, even the small one about the staff dress code. On the night itself she was there in person too, which was reassuring.”
“Our band was allowed to play without a sound limit, something three other venues in Groningen would not allow. The mezzanine was perfect for drinks while the hall below was reset for dinner.”
“The foyer at the entrance sets the tone right away, everyone paused to look at the old brick walls before walking through to the kettle hall. Small details, but they worked.”
“We had 280 guests and it stayed manageable thanks to the pillar-free hall. The bar stayed staffed all evening and the drinks were simply included, no separate tabs afterward.”
“The kettles really do stay in place, that is not just marketing copy. Our photographer loved the way the light fell on them during dinner.”
