Getting married at the Faculty Club, on the UNESCO World Heritage site of the Grand Béguinage!

Are you dreaming of an authentic venue where a story awaits around every corner? Within walking distance of Leuven’s vibrant city center lies Faculty Club, an event location on the site of the Grand Beguinage. The restored buildings breathe history, and in 2000 the site was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The marketing manager tells us what your wedding day at Faculty Club could look like.

A warm welcome

“When your wedding day arrives, we make sure you, as a couple, have an unforgettable experience. We provide spaces where you can freshen up in peace and guide you step by step throughout the day,” the marketing manager explains_._

After that, many couples start their day with their photoshoot. The Beguinage is perfectly suited for capturing a few real gems. The cobblestones and old buildings create an extremely romantic setting.

A festive opening

“Next, we welcome your guests to our beautiful inner garden for your ceremony. As a couple, you take your place at the front under our tree—without a doubt the most beautiful spot. Your love story is told, the vows are read aloud, and you say ‘I do’ to each other. It becomes an intimate moment that you share with family and friends.”

“Afterwards, we host your reception in our garden or in one of our halls. In every hall, authentic elements return that highlight the historic character of the site.”

A culinary dinner

The marketing manager of Faculty Club continues: “After the reception, we invite everyone to take their seats in the magnificent 13th-century Infirmary Hall. These days, many couples choose a seated dinner, but there are plenty of other options as well. The catering, the room layout, and the styling are all tailored to your wishes.”

“All catering is also handled entirely in-house. We have a team of experienced chefs who take your guests on a culinary journey all day long. From the bites at the reception, dinner and the dessert buffet to the late-night snacks.”

Celebrating love together

“Later in the evening, we put the dance floor in the middle of the hall in the spotlight, and our in-house DJ Boniface invites the newlyweds for their opening dance. Our DJ always coordinates in advance which music you like to hear, and on the night itself your guests can also request their favorite dance tracks via an app, to celebrate your love into the early hours.”

“After a successful dance party, you can leave the car in our parking lot and spend the night at the Begijnhof Hotel next door. Convenient, safe, and the perfect way to end your beautiful wedding day!”
