Welcome to Ghent Marriott Hotel

Ghent Marriott: get married by the water in Ghent

Ghent Marriott is situated on the historic Korenlei, in the heart of Ghent and within walking distance of the town hall. The charming façades, contemporary interior and views of the River Leie provide a stylish setting for every moment of your wedding.

Party Rooms

The wedding venue is suitable for both intimate weddings for 10 to 30 guests and larger wedding receptions for up to 250 guests. Celebrate your entire wedding day here, or opt for a reception following the civil ceremony, a sophisticated wedding dinner or an intimate celebration with your closest family and friends.

What makes the Ghent Marriott a special wedding venue in Ghent?

Its location on the Korenlei makes the Ghent Marriott one of the most iconic wedding venues in the centre of Ghent. The terrace overlooks the River Leie and the historic façades on the opposite bank, whilst the town hall and various well-known locations for wedding photos are within walking distance.

Inside the hotel, you can choose from three settings, each with its own unique atmosphere: the terrace on the Leie for an open-air reception or festive meal, the signature restaurant for a warm and refined wedding dinner, and the Korenlei Ballroom for a ceremony or larger wedding reception.

This allows you to tailor the venue to the number of guests and the programme for the day, without compromising on atmosphere, hospitality or personalised service.

What options are available for a larger wedding reception?

For parties of more than 30 guests, the ceremony, reception, dinner and evening party can all be held at a single venue. Thanks to its flexible layout, the elegant Korenlei Ballroom can be fully tailored to the schedule of your day and is also available for dinner for groups of 70 guests or more. For smaller parties, the signature restaurant offers a cosy alternative. The layout, flowers, lighting and personal touches will be tailored to your style, with audiovisual facilities for music and speeches.

A special option is a wedding dinner at the longest table in Ghent. On the terrace on the Korenlei, up to 150 guests can dine together, surrounded by historic façades and with a view of the River Leie.

Is the Ghent Marriott also suitable for an intimate wedding or a reception following a civil ceremony?

Absolutely. The Ghent Marriott is not just a venue for large wedding receptions. For groups of 10 to 30 guests, there are specific packages that focus on togetherness, fine dining and a peaceful, private setting.

After the civil wedding at the nearby town hall, for example, you can opt for a reception in the atrium, on the terrace on the Korenlei or in the signature restaurant. This ensures that even a small-scale wedding feels personal, festive and special.

Catering

The wedding packages combine a reception with refined canapés and a three- or four-course dinner. Depending on the package chosen, a gourmet buffet, food stations, live cooking, signature cocktails and late-night snacks are also available.

The menus are crafted with a focus on seasonal produce, flavour and presentation. The team also takes vegetarian and vegan preferences, allergies and other dietary requirements into account. A menu tasting is included with certain packages or can be arranged on request.

All packages can be tailored to your requirements. The experienced events team will guide you through the planning and ensure the day runs smoothly, so that the various moments feel like a cohesive whole.

Accommodation

After the celebrations, the bride and groom and their guests can stay overnight at the Ghent Marriott, with special room rates available. This means nobody has to travel after dinner or the evening party, and you can continue to enjoy each other’s company together the following morning.

Location and parking

The hotel is centrally located in Ghent, within walking distance of the town hall and the historic centre. For guests arriving by car, the Ghent Marriott has an underground car park. This makes the venue convenient for both local guests and family and friends travelling from further afield.
