About the venue
Molen De Volharding is a working grain windmill on the Zaan river, where the miller will set the sails turning on request during the ceremony. Attached to the miller's house is a glass orangery looking out over the dike and the water, where the reception and dinner take place. Because it sits in a small village, a 22:00 curfew applies, and the mill itself is not wheelchair accessible due to the narrow stairs.
The orangery seats 70 guests and a package starts from 6,200 euros. Bringing your own catering is allowed, and a warm-up kitchen is on hand for serving hot dishes. Miller Sjoerd Kloosterboer usually replies within three days.

Frequently asked questions
Is the mill wheelchair accessible?
The orangery is, the mill itself is not: the stairs up to the sails are too narrow and steep for a wheelchair.
Recommendations
4 recommendations“Right at the moment we said our vows, the sails started turning. Sjoerd had promised that beforehand and it happened exactly as he said it would.”
“My grandmother uses a wheelchair and could not go into the mill itself, that was made clear beforehand. She could join the celebration fine in the orangery, so it was not a problem, just good to know in advance.”
“The orangery looking out over the dike was exactly the backdrop we wanted for a small celebration of sixty guests. Everything felt personal, nothing felt rented.”
“The 22:00 curfew felt early for our guests, who are used to parties running into the small hours, but the village is small and Sjoerd's explanation made that clear.”
