“My family is Muslim, my husband’s is Protestant, and this house is exactly why it exists: the nikah in the prayer room and afterward the Dutch reception in the garden, both under the same roof.”
“Rutger is himself involved in the foundation from the church side, and you could tell from how he handled both sides of our family, with equal attention for each. He also replied within a day to every question.”
“The team switches between Arabic, English and Dutch, which was exactly what we needed with guests from three different countries. Nobody felt left out because of language.”
“It started raining during our reception but the covered terrace absorbed it completely, we did not have to move anything. The garden itself is genuinely a lovely spot for 90 guests.”
“We brought our own halal caterer alongside the house’s kitchen, which was allowed without any hassle. Free parking on the street was also just enough for our guests.”
