The intimate gathering can be completed with a delightful dinner in style.

In the 1750's the Van Balckeneynde House was a beautiful estate on the outskirts of The Hague right next to fields and meadows.
Over time, more buildings were built around the canal. You will easily note the distinct differences between the buildings since efficiency was an important aspect of the Industrial Revolution. Therefore the Van Balckeneynde House clearly stands out and 'shines' as it was built with great excellence and beautiful details. The canal in turn was used to transport beer and goods between the Bierkade, the Dunne Bierkade and the rest of the country. Nowadays the same canal still enjoys a special role, as it is the favourite location for many locals and for those from abroad in the old city centre of The Hague. With its many chique restaurants and crowded pubs (including the unique boat terraces). Naturally, arriving or departing the wedding venue by boat is a wonderful possibility. It definitely makes for a unique and grande entrée or exit. The same holds good for the beautiful garden. This positively adds another dimension to the festivities. Over time, The Hague has developed into a pivotal and important international city giving it the stature it enjoys today as the international city of Peace and Justice. |
