About the venue
De Oude Veerstal was, until the nineties, the yard where Dordrecht's ferries were serviced, and the space still carries that past visibly: bare concrete floors, a full-height steel roof structure, and the old hoist rails still fixed to the ceiling. Rather than covering that up, the space has been converted into an event venue exactly as it stands.
The hall is pillar-free and seats 140 to 280 guests, with its own power supply for an external sound system and no fixed end time for the music. Venue manager Bram Kok works with a fixed list of caterers and decorators who are free to bring their own setup, and usually replies within two days.
Highlights
The pillar-free hall with the original steel structure and hoist rails.
The outdoor grounds of the former yard, usable for the welcome or photos.
The raw entrance of the former yard, with the original steel structure above the door.
The old quay by the water, where the ferries once docked.

Recommendations
4 recommendations“The main hall with the old hoist rails still on the ceiling gave our party an edge we could not find anywhere else. We had 260 guests and the pillar-free space made the layout easy.”
“Bram Kok simply let our own decorator get to work, no hassle with a mandatory in-house supplier. He replied to every email within two days.”
“We held the welcome moment out on the yard grounds before everyone walked into the hall. With that concrete and steel backdrop it looked like a photoshoot.”
“No fixed end time for the music meant our DJ could keep playing deep into the night. At the other venues we looked at, everything had to stop by midnight.”
