Getting married in a garden full of history and greenery
Getting married in a garden means enjoying the fresh outdoor air to the fullest. Our beautiful, green courtyard is completely enclosed by the impressive Neo-Gothic architecture of our building from 1282. This not only makes for breathtaking wedding photos but also offers pleasant shelter and excellent acoustics for the ceremony. Whether you dream of a grand and informal garden wedding or prefer a small-scale, intimate celebration with a select group, we offer the flexibility to tailor the space entirely to your vision.
In addition, at Bovendonk you enjoy the absolute convenience of being able to celebrate everything in one location. From an unforgettable wedding garden ceremony to a spectacular evening party, you won't need to leave the estate in between.

From ceremony to an unforgettable wedding garden party
After the rings have been exchanged, it is time to raise a glass. Our atmospheric courtyard is the ultimate setting for a lively garden wedding party. For dinner, we effortlessly extend the outdoor experience. Choose, for example, a high-quality barbecue, food stations, or an informal walking dinner. Whatever your wishes, our flexible kitchen brigade and culinary team will provide a tasteful, top-level experience.
Carefree relaxation and overnight stay
A successful garden wedding experience is only truly complete when you don't have to drive home at the end of the evening. Because our estate features 54 comfortable hotel rooms, you and your guests can step straight into made-up beds after the party. The next morning, you can enjoy a pleasant chat while savoring a fresh and extensive breakfast buffet. Our location is perfectly accessible via the A17 and A58, and guests always park for free (including charging stations).
