The set table for the wedding meal, overlooking the Merwede.
The open kitchen where the chef talks guests through every dish.
The terrace on the Merwede, where the ferries used to dock.
The reception area where guests gather before the meal.
“One long table for seventy-five guests sounds strange until you experience it. Everyone really sat together and no one felt tucked away at a corner table.”
“Sanne cooked herself and walked along the table between courses to explain each dish. That gave the evening a genuine chef's-table feel instead of a standard wedding dinner.”
“The terrace on the Merwede was perfect for photos just before sunset, right where the ferry used to dock. Little room for extra decoration, but we didn't need that anyway.”
“Sanne replied within a day to every question, even on weekends. A fixed kitchen with no outside caterers does mean you have little say over the food itself.”
“The reception area at the entrance was small but cosy, fitting perfectly with an intimate wedding of fifty-five guests. Our band was allowed to play live with their own sound equipment.”
“Accessible with no pillars in the room, so good sightlines from every seat. We had international guests and the staff's English was fine.”
