Château Neercanne: get married in UNESCO-recognised Baroque gardens in Maastricht
A stone's throw from Belgium, in the middle of the enchanting Jeker Valley, lies Château Neercanne. This UNESCO-recognised Renaissance castle is a unique wedding venue where marl caves, Baroque gardens and luxurious halls come together. The mysterious caves provide an impressive backdrop for receptions, while the wine cellar is an iconic place to toast your vows.
Whether you are planning a large party or an elopement where you get married in a (very) intimate circle in the Netherlands, everything is possible: from the impressive marl caves for a party with up to 600 people to a ceremony in Torentje de Gulden - an octagonal castle tower for up to eight people.

Château St. Gerlach: get married in the gardens of the Ingendael
On the edge of the Ingendael nature reserve, close to Valkenburg, lies Château St. Gerlach: one of the most fairytale wedding venues in the Netherlands. Surrounded by orchards and gardens, this estate exudes tranquillity and elegance. Built on the foundations of a 12th-century monastery, it now houses a five-star hotel with 114 rooms, suites and apartments.
The versatility of this place is exceptional. Choose an intimate ceremony in a historic salon or a grand celebration in the modern St. Gerlach Pavilion for a thousand guests.
