Getting married on the waterfront

How romantic is that?

Waterfront weddings offer a unique and romantic setting that captures the imagination of many couples. The Netherlands, with its rich network of lakes, rivers and coastal areas, has countless beautiful waterside wedding venues. In this article, we highlight three special places: the little church in Sandfirden, Waterherberg It Beaken in Heeg and Telstar Beach.

Church in Sandfirden

Located in the Frisian lake district, the picturesque church of Sandfirden is one of the most idyllic wedding venues in the Netherlands. This small, white church from the 13th century is surrounded by water and lush green meadows. The church can only be reached by boat or on foot, making it a unique and exclusive wedding location. The intimate nature of the venue makes it particularly suitable for a small, atmospheric ceremony. The surroundings offer breathtaking views over the Frisian lakes and the surrounding countryside, contributing to a serene atmosphere where love and nature come together. Many couples choose a wedding ceremony at Sandfirden church for the serene peace and beauty the location offers. The arrival by boat adds a magical touch to the day and makes the experience unforgettable.

Water inn It Beaken in Heeg

Water Inn It Beaken, located in the charming village of Heeg, is a beautiful waterfront wedding venue that combines history and modern facilities. Heeg is known for its rich history as a fishing village, and the water inn is located directly on the Heegermeer, one of Friesland's most beautiful lakes. It Beaken not only offers breathtaking views over the water, but also extensive possibilities for both a ceremony and a party. The waterside terrace is perfect for a romantic ceremony at sunset, while the atmospheric indoor spaces are the ideal setting for a cosy dinner and party. 

Thanks to its proximity to the Heegermeer lake, couples and their guests can even enjoy a boat ride after the ceremony, adding an extra dimension to the wedding. The personal service and attention to detail at Waterherberg It Beaken make every wedding couple feel special here.

Telstar Beach

For couples dreaming of a wedding with a beach vibe, Telstar Beach is a great choice. Located on the beach of Veluwe Lake, it offers Telstar Beach a relaxed yet stylish atmosphere. 

This venue is particularly popular among couples who want a casual yet romantic wedding day by the water. Telstar Beach has a beautiful pavilion offering stunning views over the Veluwemeer lake, with expansive beaches perfect for a ceremony with your feet in the sand. 

The beach pavilion itself is stylishly decorated and offers space for both an intimate ceremony and a sparkling party. An added advantage of Telstar Beach is that it is ideal for a summer wedding with a barbecue or a sumptuous alfresco dinner.
