About the venue
Kasteel Berkenstein is a sixteenth-century moated house just outside Amersfoort that has stayed in the same family for three generations and has been let out exclusively for weddings for the past ten years. The choice was made deliberately never to book two parties on the same day: whoever crosses the drawbridge has the whole grounds to themselves, from the dining hall to the rose garden inside the moat.
The hall and garden together seat 40 to 90 guests. Owner Willem de Groot lives on the estate himself and can arrange a tour of the wine cellar ahead of dinner on request. Free parking outside the moat, a covered terrace for bad weather, and a bridal suite in the east wing are included in the rental.

Recommendations
5 recommendations“The fact that they never book two parties on the same day genuinely made all the difference. From the moment we crossed the drawbridge, we had the entire grounds to ourselves, from the dining hall to the rose garden.”
“Willem de Groot lives on the estate himself and took us to the wine cellar before dinner, something we hadn't expected from the tour. Ninety guests was exactly the hall's maximum and it felt that way too.”
“The walled rose garden inside the moat for the ceremony was so peaceful, no sound from outside the walls. Free parking outside the moat was also nicely arranged for our guests coming from far away.”
“Forty guests in this sixteenth-century house felt intimate without feeling small, exactly the balance we were after. The covered terrace came in handy when it started raining that afternoon after all.”
“The bridal suite in the east wing overlooking the moat was a lovely place to get ready. Three generations of the same family, you feel it in every detail of the house.”
