Why an original wedding is a perfect fit for Bovendonk

A unique celebration calls for a unique location. While modern and sleek halls can sometimes feel cold, our historic building exudes tranquility, warmth, and grandeur. The beautiful inner courtyard, the characteristic cloister corridors, and the inspiring wooded surroundings form a fantastic backdrop for your photos and your guests. Because we offer everything under one roof, you can structure the day exactly as you wish.

Imagine a ceremony in our atmospheric chapel, followed by informal drinks in the courtyard, and as a spectacular finale, a big party in one of the authentic halls. No stressful travel, just ultimate enjoyment in one place. Moreover, our location is extremely centrally situated in West Brabant, close to Breda, Roosendaal, and Etten-Leur, and easily accessible via the A17 and A58.

Your creative ideas and our personal guidance

For an original wedding, it is all about customization. We understand that you have specific wishes that make the day extra personal. From the very first meeting, our experienced team is ready to provide personal service and professional guidance. We don't think in fixed, rigid protocols, but in creative possibilities.



Do you have a specific vision for the decorations or the wedding cake? Naturally, it is no problem at all for us to collaborate with external suppliers to tailor the styling entirely to your wishes. Our passionate in-house kitchen team is also extremely flexible when it comes to the culinary side. From a casual walking dinner to long, atmospherically set tables in the courtyard, we provide a culinary experience that seamlessly aligns with the theme of your unique wedding.

Relax and enjoy the afterglow without driving home

The greatest gift you can give yourself and your guests after a long day of partying is the convenience of an overnight stay. Your loved ones no longer have to get into the car late at night or arrange an expensive taxi. Upon arrival, guests can park easily and for free on our spacious grounds (equipped with charging stations) and step straight into bed after the party.


Bovendonk features 54 comfortable hotel rooms. The following morning, you will all sit down together for an extensive and delicious breakfast buffet. This way, you conclude the original wedding in a relaxed, bonding manner, and there is plenty of time to share all the beautiful memories from the previous evening.
