Kasteel de Wittenburg

A wedding at Kasteel de Wittenburg in Wassenaar

Kasteel de Wittenburg stands on a green estate in Wassenaar, near The Hague. Historic castle rooms, a glass conservatory, a garden beside the pond and a modern function room give each part of a wedding its own setting. The ceremony, drinks reception, dinner, evening party and overnight stay can be planned at the same venue. The events team discusses the layout during a visit and prepares a proposal for your guest list.

A ceremony in the castle or garden

Wedding ceremonies can take place in several rooms within the castle or outside in the garden beside the water. The conservatory overlooks the grounds and the pond with its fountains. Indoor rooms and the garden provide options for welcoming guests and cutting the cake. Agree which spaces will be reserved for your party and how an outdoor arrangement can move inside if the weather changes.

Rooms and capacities for different parts of the day

The venue presents eleven spaces for gatherings. Its published room layouts provide a more detailed guide:

• The 323 m² Oranje Nassauzaal accommodates up to 300 ceremony guests, 250 dinner guests or 500 guests for a reception or evening party.
• The 80 m² Grote Lounge accommodates up to 100 ceremony guests and 70 dinner guests.
• The 65 m² conservatory is listed for dinners of up to 50 guests or receptions of up to 80.
• The combined castle rooms are listed for dinners of up to 180 guests and receptions or parties of up to 300.

These are indicative maximum capacities for the stated layouts. Space for dancing, entertainment, decorations and circulation affects the final arrangement, so have the agreed capacity included in your quotation.

In-house cuisine, dinner and evening celebrations

The castle’s kitchen team provides the catering. Options range from small appetisers and a walking dinner to a formal seated meal. Menus, drinks and decoration can be coordinated with the events team. Food allergies should be discussed in advance. The venue can recommend musicians, bands and DJs for the evening. When planning the programme, check which equipment, suppliers and finishing times apply to your chosen room and package.

Ten bedrooms and a bridal suite

The castle has ten hotel bedrooms, including two suites. A bridal suite with a sauna and jacuzzi is offered. An overnight stay can be followed by breakfast together the next morning. Bedrooms are on the first and second floors and their availability should be checked separately. Restaurant Sophie is on the ground floor.

Getting there and accessibility

The address is Landgoed de Wittenburg 1, 2244 BV Wassenaar. The estate provides free parking and charging points for electric cars and bicycles. A practical point to consider is that the castle has no passenger lift. A stairlift can assist access to the castle but does not reach the hotel bedrooms. Discuss the route to your selected ceremony and reception rooms in advance if any guests have reduced mobility.

A proposal tailored to your wedding

Each wedding is planned individually. A minimum spend requirement applies; the amount and terms must be confirmed for your date. Include your daytime and evening guest numbers, preferred ceremony setting, dinner, party and bedroom requirements in your enquiry. This allows the venue to set out the rooms and services included in its proposal.
