About the venue
Salonboot Amstelglans is permanently moored at the Amstelkade, a short walk from the Amstel bridge, and was purpose-built as a wedding venue ten years ago rather than converted from an old barge — you can tell from the ceiling height and the wide windows that pull the river inside. The outdoor deck wraps all the way around the boat, so guests aren't stuck on one side during drinks.
The saloon seats 60 to 140 guests, has a fixed bar with its own staff, and a sound system that can keep going into the late hours. Owner Willem van Dam works with a regular caterer but allows outside caterers too, and usually replies within two days. Heating and a canopy over the deck mean a rain shower doesn't drive the party indoors.

Recommendations
5 recommendations“The outdoor deck really does wrap all the way around, so none of our hundred and twenty guests had their back to the Amstel during drinks. Willem van Dam had everything tightly organised, right down to the canopy in case of rain.”
“The fixed bar with its own staff saved us a lot of hassle, no lugging drinks around or sorting things out afterwards. It was a bit of a shame we still had to coordinate our outside caterer with the onboard crew.”
“Sixty guests felt almost small for this boat, the saloon is built for more volume than we needed. Still exactly what we wanted: a saloon purpose-built as a wedding venue, not a converted barge.”
“The sound system was allowed to keep going late and we made good use of that, our DJ didn't stop until after three. Willem always replied within a couple of days to our emails, pleasant to deal with.”
“Beautiful view of the Amstel from the wide windows, exactly what made us choose this boat over an ordinary hall. Heating on board was welcome, since our wedding fell in November.”
