A setting to celebrate your story
Full presentation
A countryside wedding close to Rotterdam
Leefgoed De Olifant is located on Groenendijk in Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel, close to Capelle aan den IJssel and Rotterdam. The setting is shaped by the nearby Hollandsche IJssel river, the Hitland nature area, meadows and mature trees. Couples can plan several parts of their wedding at the same venue, using a combination of indoor spaces and outdoor areas.
The glasshouse and covered terrace
De Kas is a principal wedding space on the property. Its glass walls bring in daylight and provide views across the surrounding landscape. The venue states that the indoor room measures 144 m² and accommodates approximately 60 to 120 guests, depending on the event format. An adjoining terrace covers 176 m² and has a stretch tent and heaters, making it possible to move between indoor and sheltered outdoor settings during the day.
The wedding programme can include an orchard ceremony, drinks beside the glasshouse and a celebration indoors. Discuss the most suitable location for each part of the day, the number of guests and the alternative arrangement for poor weather. This allows the rural surroundings to remain part of the experience while keeping a practical indoor option available.
Food and celebration
Catering is connected with Restaurant De Koningin, which occupies the same property. Options for a wedding meal include a barbecue, shared dining, food stations and a plated dinner. The venue team can help shape the programme and discuss decoration and music. A tailored quotation should identify the spaces, facilities and event times included, with guest capacity confirmed for each layout.
Visiting the venue
The address is Groenendijk 325, and free parking is available on site. A viewing is a useful way to understand how the glasshouse, covered terrace and outdoor spaces work together. Couples whose guests need overnight accommodation can discuss suitable possibilities with the team rather than assuming that accommodation is included in the venue hire.
