Outdoor location the Zegen
Official wedding location in North Holland
A special name for your special day. It is said that there are more fish in the sea. But none fit as perfectly together as you do! Therefore, the Zegen refers to the namesake fishing net of the nostalgic botter boat and is also a small nod to the blessing of your marriage.

Location
This renewed official wedding location is situated in the garden of Van der Valk Hotel Volendam. Completely equipped with luxury and comfort for you and your guests in mind. Everything is perfectly arranged in one place: from ceremony to overnight stay. The only thing you have to do is celebrate love surrounded by nature and glimmering water. Additionally, every part or the entire wedding can also take place indoors within an event room.
Romantic ceremony
Marriage
The natural environment is the ideal setting. Imagine your fiancé walking over the atmospheric bridge to the ceremony for your first look, after which you sit together on the cozy ceremony bench with family and friends around you. Meanwhile, your song plays on the music box, and everything is adorned with stylish decorations. So the only thing left for you two is to say 'Yes, I do!'.
Festive reception
Toast
At the decorated reception, you and your guests toast to love together with a sparkling glass of bubbles. While everyone talks about your special vows to each other, guests are treated to a small snack. Or do you prefer to cut the wedding cake right away? This is also the perfect moment for you to take photos on the bridge that will evoke beautiful memories for a lifetime.
