Province of Antwerp

The province of Antwerp offers three distinct atmospheres: trendy venues in cities such as Antwerp or Mechelen, properties overlooking the Scheldt, or tranquil castles and country houses in the green Kempen region. Choose which of these three best matches the atmosphere you have in mind.

A venue in a city centre, such as Antwerp or Mechelen, is often close to busy thoroughfares and areas with limited parking. Enquire in advance about parking options for your guests, or consider a venue just outside the city centre for a more peaceful setting.

What’s included in the hire price varies greatly between a city-centre function room and a country house in the Kempen: some venues provide catering and furniture, whilst others offer only the bare space. Request a detailed quote so you know exactly what’s included.

Party venues in city centres are often more compact due to the limited space within the built-up area. If you have a large guest list, estates in the Kempen usually offer greater capacity and more spacious outdoor grounds.
