About the venue
Kasteel Hoog Holten sits on its own island behind a moat just outside Apeldoorn, and the great hall with its beamed ceiling and hearth has hosted official ceremonies for over a century. The registrar performs the civil marriage on site, after which the party crosses the drawbridge to the gardens for photos along the moat and the old oak avenue.
The hall holds 80 to 200 guests and pairs the formal setting with practical extras: an in-house kitchen, a foyer for the reception, and a bridal suite in the east wing. Estate manager Willem van Hoorn usually replies within two days and can also arrange the permit for cold fireworks on the terrace afterwards.

Recommendations
6 recommendations“The great hall with its beamed ceiling and hearth felt solemn enough for the civil ceremony straight away. The registrar barely needed extra decoration, the castle does the work itself.”
“After the ceremony the whole party crossed the drawbridge to the gardens. The photos along the moat and the old oak avenue are exactly the shots we had hoped for.”
“Willem van Hoorn replied to every question within two days, including about the permit for cold fireworks on the terrace. That moment after dinner was one of the highlights of the evening.”
“With 160 guests we sat comfortably within the 80 to 200 capacity, and the foyer for the reception let everyone trickle in calmly before the hall really filled up.”
“The bridal suite in the east wing gave us real time to get ready calmly without rushing back and forth between the hall and a separate room elsewhere on the grounds.”
“The castle's in-house kitchen delivered an excellent dinner for our 130 guests. Combined with the setting on its own island behind the moat, the whole day felt cut off from the outside world.”
