Some wedding venues have something magical from the very first moment — De Bronckhorst Hoeve is such a place.
Recently, I had the chance to capture the special day of Kim & Timon here together with my girlfriend (also a photo- and videographer!).
A day full of love, joy, surprises and… a touch of Lion King magic. 🎥🦁 Lion King-magie. 🎥🦁

Why has this location stuck with us so much? We’d love to share it with you through 10 points we experienced both as professionals and as people. And believe us: this place truly deserves a spot of honor in your considerations if you’re getting married.
1. Views of meadows, a warm interior, and a garden for the ceremony
What a picture-perfect venue. De Bronckhorst Hoeve offers sweeping views of beautiful meadows, a cozy and warm interior, and the option to get married both indoors and outdoors. Kim and Timon ended up saying “I do” outside in the blooming garden — and it looked like something straight out of a romantic movie. Inside, there’s a reception hall that feels just right in size: spacious, yet intimate. Perfect for a party where everyone really hits the dance floor (as you can see in the film!).
2. Flexibility you rarely see
Ten minutes before the ceremony, the bride suddenly decided she wanted a change: “We’re going outside.” And what do you do as a venue? Where many places would have said “no,” Anja (the owner) confidently replied: “Then we’ll make it happen.”
In no time, chairs, decorations, and equipment were moved. You can see it in the video:teamwork between the venue and the guests, while the couple stayed relaxed together. The result? An outdoor wedding under a threatening but dry sky, and footage that gives you goosebumps. As far as we’re concerned, De Bronckhorst Hoeve deserves the award for Most Flexible Wedding Venue of the Year..
3. A venue where animals are welcome 🐾
The day got an extra golden touch when Kim and Timon’s dog was allowed to bring the rings. You read that right: with a little collar on, he came happily running in… but not straight to the couple. And that made for both hilarious and heartwarming moments, which I captured in super slow motion. What a memory. There were also horses in the meadow next to the venue, adding yet another beautiful sight to the day.
4. A surprise video during dinner
During the meal, we surprised the couple with something special: a short edit of clips from earlier in the day, turned into an atmospheric mini-video with fitting music. Thanks to the excellent technical facilities at the venue, we were able to play it during the evening celebration. The reactions? Pure emotion. And the evening guests also got a beautiful glimpse into how the day had unfolded. (Curious if this could be done on your day too? Let me know!)
5. Warm collaboration with the venue
From the moment we arrived, we felt welcome. We were immediately told where we could set up our gear, and when I wanted to prepare the audio for the ceremony, Anja actively thought along with me. We tested the microphone together several times to make sure the sound would be crystal clear. That kind of teamwork makes a huge difference in the final result.
6. A professional, friendly, and attentive team
In addition to Anja, the team behind the scenes truly deserves a big compliment. Attentive, welcoming, and always alert without ever being intrusive. They made sure everything ran smoothly, and you can feel that both as a guest and as a vendor.
7. Easily accessible with plenty of parking
Despite its rural setting, De Bronckhorst Hoeve is very easy to reach — both by car and by public transport. And parking? No problem at all. If the main parking lot is full, there’s a meadow right next to the venue available. No matter how many guests you invite, everyone can park without stress.
8. A venue that truly thinks along with you
As a photographer and videographer, you prefer working at places where the team is open to collaboration, timing, and technical needs. At this venue, we never felt like an “external party,” but rather a natural part of the whole. That not only makes working enjoyable, but it also elevates the final result.
9. Beautiful spaces for both ceremony and celebration
Whether you’re going for an intimate setting or a big party, the spaces at the Hoeve feel warm, stylish, and functional. Transitions between the different parts of the day flow seamlessly — everything just fits.
10. Also wheelchair accessible
And last but not least: De Bronckhorst Hoeve is wheelchair-friendly. A small detail that can make a world of difference for some guests. It’s those little things that turn it into a truly inclusive celebration for everyone.
In short: De Bronckhorst Hoeve isn’t just any wedding venue. It’s a place where couples can fully immerse themselves in the moment — knowing that behind the scenes, a team is doing everything to make your day unforgettable. And don’t forget to check out Kim & Timon’s film!
