We're getting married!
The venues
The ceremony takes place in a charming little church in the village centre. Please arrive at 14:00.
After the I Do's, there's pizza and booze.
There's no direct parking at either venue and we're travelling between venues by boat.
Getting there
There's no direct parking at either venue, so we'd recommend arriving on foot or by taxi in the morning and heading home the same way in the evening. Driving anyway? Park at X, roughly halfway between the two venues. From there it's a X min walk to the church, and when the night's over, you're just a X min walk from the evening venue back to your car.
Uber and local taxis serve the Giethoorn area, but keep in mind that most taxis come from larger nearby towns, so expect a slightly longer wait and higher fares than you might be used to. Availability may drop later in the evening - so if you're planning to leave after midnight, consider booking one in advance.
From Amsterdam: ~1.20h by car, alternatively ~1.30h by train to Meppel or Steenwijk, then 10 min taxi or bus. From Düsseldorf: ~2.40h by car, alternatively ~3.00h by train via Zwolle to Meppel or Steenwijk, then 10 min taxi or bus.
The day
Ceremony
We gather at the little church in the village centre for the ceremony. Please be seated by 14:15.
Boat ride
We leave the church by boat, gliding through the canals of Giethoorn to our dinner venue.
Dinner
First courses are served at Middenbuurt 3. Enjoy a festive dinner with speeches and toasts.
Party
Time to celebrate! The dance floor opens and the party goes on into the night.
Staying over
Giethoorn and the nearby towns of Steenwijk and Meppel have charming B&Bs, holiday cottages, and hotels. Staying in the village means you can walk everywhere. If you'd like recommendations or need help finding accomodation, just reach out to us — we're happy to point you in the right direction.
Good to know
Your presence is truly the greatest gift. If you'd like to contribute something, a donation towards our honeymoon fund would mean the world to us.
If anything comes up on the day, please reach out to our maid of honour and best man rather than us - we'll be a little preoccupied! Miri +49 (0) Ankit +31 (0)
Feel-good, fabulous but most importantly - entirely you. You've got this.
We're having an unplugged ceremony — please keep phones away and be fully present with us. Our photographer will capture every moment. Once we're on the boats, snap away to your heart's content!
See you there?
