About the venue
Theeschip Oosterdok is built in the style of the nineteenth-century tea clippers that once sailed from this dock to Asia, and has translated that history into a saloon full of low sofas, a brass tea bar, and wooden cabinets of loose tea rather than a classic party hall. The boat stays moored at the Panamakade, with the IJ open in view.
The saloon and adjoining deck hold 45 to 100 guests, with its own tea bar where guests can blend their own tea during drinks. Owner Annelies Kramer, who specializes in wedding tea ceremonies, usually replies within two days and can put together an elaborate tea ceremony as an alternative to the classic drinks reception on request. Alcohol is allowed but isn't required through a fixed bar.

Recommendations
4 recommendations“Instead of a regular drinks reception, Annelies Kramer arranged an elaborate tea ceremony where guests blended their own tea at the brass tea bar. Calmer than a cocktail hour, exactly what we wanted.”
“Forty-five guests in the saloon with low sofas, no dance floor or DJ, more of a living-room feeling on the water. If you want a classic party, this isn't the right boat.”
“The idea comes from the nineteenth-century tea clippers that once sailed from this dock to Asia, and Annelies told that story with such enthusiasm during the tour that our guests were still talking about it weeks later.”
“Alcohol wasn't required through a fixed bar, exactly what my family was looking for, without the party ever feeling formal because of it. The view of the open IJ from the deck was a lovely bonus.”
