About the venue
The beech avenue at Landgoed Berkenrode is older than the house itself: the trees were planted around 1710, decades before the current ballroom was added to the main house. Couples marrying here today arrive down the same avenue that has carried brides to the front door for three centuries, and the ballroom itself, with a six-metre ceiling and its original stucco cornices, now serves as the reception and dinner hall.
Estate manager Floor Hendriks arranges a ride down the avenue in a historic carriage for most couples, something she insists on whenever the weather allows, and usually replies to enquiries within two days. The ballroom and adjoining conservatory together seat 90 to 260 guests, with an in-house kitchen, a bar that is not mandatory, free parking on the grounds, and a covered terrace as backup in case of rain.

Recommendations
3 recommendations“Our ride down the beech avenue in the carriage was the moment that made my mother cry. Floor had everything planned by the time we arrived, and the weather cooperated too. The ballroom with its six-metre ceiling never felt empty, even with our 150 guests.”
“We had 240 guests and wondered if the ballroom could handle that, but the original stucco cornices and the high ceiling gave the space something an ordinary hall doesn't have. Even with a dance floor added, there was still room to spare.”
“The conservatory was a nice fallback when it started raining during drinks. Nobody noticed it was a backup plan.”
