Then you and your guests can stay overnight, as PAARL is located on the grounds of Van der Valk Hotel Sassenheim – Leiden.

Our brochure and the mentioned rates are intended for inspiration and give an impression of the possibilities. Every wedding is unique, which is why we are happy to create a customized proposal that fully matches your wishes, ideas, and budget. We love to brainstorm with you to make your wedding day a personal, atmospheric, and unforgettable experience.

PAARL consists of various facilities, each with its own character.

• Cinema

Our cinema is a unique and atmospheric space within the location. With a large screen and 8 spacious chairs, this is the perfect place for a special moment. The space is mostly covered with a stylish African stretch tent, creating a warm and intimate ambiance. If desired, we can effortlessly extend the setting with extra furniture, such as high tables, so that it seamlessly fits your day.

• Zenwaterhoek outdoor bar

From a cozy reception to a vibrant party: this unique setting easily adapts to your day. Think of an intimate cake moment in the afternoon and later in the evening a DJ with a saxophonist, while everyone comes together dancing around the bar.

The BBQ area is the perfect setting for a relaxed and atmospheric BBQ during your wedding. Imagine a warm South African braai evening, where guests gather around the fire, enjoy delicious food, and meet each other in a casual, friendly atmosphere.
