About the venue
De Wilgenhoeve sits directly on the Oude Rijn near Leiden, with pollard willows along the bank where the ceremony takes place while the odd rowing boat passes by. Afterwards the party walks to the barn, which is rented as a shell: no fixed bar, no fixed menu, guests arrange their own caterer and drinks.
The venue has room for 130 guests between meadow and barn. Owner Anneke van Rijn, who usually replies within four days, allows setup a full day in advance so a marquee or decor is ready in time. Outdoor cooking on the grounds is allowed, as is a DJ late into the night, and there is free parking right on the farmyard.

Recommendations
6 recommendations“The ceremony on the riverbank, with the pollard willows and the odd rowing boat passing by, was exactly the picture we had in mind when we chose a spot near Leiden.”
“Anneke van Rijn let us set up a full day in advance, so the marquee was ready in time for our 130 guests. That saved a huge amount of stress on the day itself.”
“We cooked outdoors on the grounds ourselves and arranged our own drinks, exactly the freedom a shell-rented barn gives you. The meadow between the bank and the barn was where everyone gathered.”
“Anneke replied within four days, which was a bit slower than other venues, but her answers were always complete and clear. No half-answers.”
“The terrace by the barn was perfect for drinks before everyone went inside for dinner. A DJ was allowed to play late, exactly what our younger guests wanted.”
“Free parking right on the farmyard itself made things much easier for our guests from outside Leiden. We could dress the empty barn entirely to our own taste.”
