Click below to take a look at the detailed program including catering proposal. Actually, for the wedding day we offer 3 different schedules, as we’ve seen that different nationalities we host, sometimes like it slightly different. No matter which of the three programmes fits you best, all are fully inclusive.

We are happy to modify according to your wishes. We can slightly shift start and end times, tweak the dinner to personal preferences as long it stays in the foreseen price range. If changes go beyond the forseen budget it comes with a slight increase in price. Yet, we believe our proposal has it all. Obviously, it’s always possible to go beyond.
