About the venue
Hotel Sint-Maartenshof occupies a sixteenth-century canon’s house right next to the Martini Tower, with an enclosed inner garden that once belonged to the monastery complex. The hotel has worked with the Martini Church down the street for years: couples who marry there in church walk the few steps over to the hotel afterwards for the reception in the garden.
The space suits 30 to 80 guests, ideal for a smaller wedding with a lot of attention to detail. Manager Anneke Bosman usually replies within a day and coordinates the reception and dinner schedule with the Martini Church’s service times. There are seven hotel rooms for guests from out of town, an in-house kitchen for dinner, and the garden is covered with a clear canopy in the rain.

Recommendations
6 recommendations“We married in church at the Martini Church and afterwards literally walked a few steps to the cloister garden for the reception. We hadn't expected such a calm transition.”
“With thirty guests this was exactly the small, personal wedding we wanted, no excess space to feel lost in.”
“The sixteenth-century canon's house next to the Martini Tower gives this hotel a history you won't find this close anywhere else in the city.”
“When it started raining during the reception, a clear canopy went up over the garden within a few minutes. We were able to stay seated outside.”
“The seven hotel rooms were just enough for our family from out of town, and it was nice that everyone stayed so close by.”
“Anneke coordinated the reception and dinner schedule precisely with the Martini Church's service times, so our guests had no waiting around.”
