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 beautiful setting for those dreaming of a wedding day at a venue 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 historical buildings, stately avenues, and green fields. With its unique mix of historical charm, atmospheric locations, and serene nature, Hou & Trouw in Veenhuizen provides an enchanting backdrop for an unforgettable wedding day.

Hou & Trouw Veenhuizen consists of four venues next to each other, which together form an ideal wedding location, where the elements blend seamlessly, making your wedding day one to remember forever.

Klein Soestdijk was built in 1859 as a residence for the managing 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 celebration 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, a place had to be created for the official personnel to relax. The Verenigingsgebouw radiates coziness and warmth, ideal for a lively evening party with a band or DJ or a vibrant reception. Next to the Verenigingsgebouw is the Koepelkerk. This beautiful, atmospheric, and historical monument with its characteristic shape can, if you wish, provide a unique ambiance for your ceremony or wedding blessing. 
On the other side of Klein Soestdijk, you will find Brouwerij Maallust with its associated Tasting Room with terrace.

We believe it is important that your day fully aligns with your wishes and dreams. Every love story is unique, and that 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 overnight stay for 12-18 people, from an intimate ceremony with a small group to a large reception, everything is possible at Hou & Trouw. You are central, and together we create a plan, and we ensure that the atmosphere, the location(s), and the day's arrangement fit who you are and what you desire.
