The fenced-off stretch of beach on the Nederrijn for the ceremony.
The marquee where the reception and dinner take place.
The prayer room inside the marquee, separated from the party area.
The riverbank overlooking the ferry crossing, popular for photos.
“The ferry crossing during the ceremony, we all heard it and it actually fit the moment perfectly. Yasmin arranged a neggafa for my entrance at our request, something we couldn't find at any other beach venue in Arnhem.”
“The caterer combined Moroccan and Turkish dishes, and that was exactly what we needed, my in-laws are Turkish and my family Moroccan. Everyone ate together without needing two separate buffets.”
“The prayer room inside the marquee was small but well separated from the party area, so praying could genuinely happen in quiet. Yasmin always replied within a day to our questions.”
“An unexpected shower rolled in that evening and we had to move to the hall a few streets away. A shame for the riverside atmosphere, but it was reassuring that this was already included in the rental so we didn't have to scramble ourselves.”
“With 130 guests by the river everything felt just right. Fully alcohol-free, and none of the family had to ask about it.”
