Hou & Trouw Veenhuizen

The idyllic village of Veenhuizen, nestled in the heart of Drenthe, offers a unique combination of history, tranquility, and natural beauty. A stunning setting for those dreaming of a wedding day at a location with character. Once a colony of Benevolence, later a 'prison village', and today a UNESCO World Heritage site. This special village still radiates an authentic atmosphere with its historic buildings, stately avenues, and green fields. With its unique mix of historical charm, atmospheric locations, and serene nature, Hou & Trouw in Veenhuizen provides a magical backdrop for an unforgettable wedding day.

Hou & Trouw Veenhuizen consists of four locations next to each other, which together create an ideal wedding venue, where the elements seamlessly blend together and where your wedding becomes a day to remember forever.

Klein Soestdijk was built in 1859 as a residence for the chief director of Veenhuizen. It is an elegant and chic building, featuring two wings with symmetrical driveways leading to the front door and a spacious, park-like garden, where in the summer a stretch tent of 9x12m is ready for you for a romantic ceremony or dinner. Klein Soestdijk also offers four guest rooms, in a stylish and intimate setting, so you can stay overnight after the party and start your first day as a married couple with a royal breakfast together with your parents or witnesses. The Verenigingsgebouw opened its doors in 1922 and became the meeting place for the staff of the national work institutions. Due to the closed nature of the village, there had to be a place for the civil service staff to relax. The Verenigingsgebouw exudes coziness and warmth, ideal for a spectacular evening party with a band or DJ or a lively reception. Next to the Verenigingsgebouw is the Koepelkerk. This beautiful, atmospheric, and historic monument with its distinctive shape can provide a unique ambiance for your ceremony or wedding blessing, if you wish.
On the other side of Klein Soestdijk, you will find Brouwerij Maallust with its associated tasting room and terrace.

We believe it is important that your day fully aligns with your wishes and dreams. Every love is unique, which is why we offer customization in everything we do. We listen to your ideas, are ready to brainstorm, and ensure that the day is entirely yours. From the reception with coffee to the dinner, from a welcome cocktail to the closing party with accommodation for 12-18 people, from an intimate ceremony with a small group to a large group of guests at the reception, everything is possible at Hou & Trouw. You are at the center, and together with you, we will create a plan and ensure that the atmosphere, the location(s), and the flow of the day match who you are and what you wish for.
