Weddings & Events

For the whole weekend

We don't just host your event.

We help you plan the entire weekend, ceremony, dinner, accommodation, and the hours in between that people actually remember.

The De Stilte approach

One farm, one group, one weekend at a time.

Most venues hand you a room for an evening. Here you take the whole valley for two or three days: guests sleep on the farm, meals move between the shed and the werf, and the programme has room to breathe.

We work through the plan with you, arrival times, where the bridal party gets ready, which trail to send early risers on, when the fire gets lit.

Event spaces

Three spaces that carry the weekend.

The Oak Shed

A covered farm shed with open sides, long tables and space for dinner, speeches and dancing under one roof.

The Ceremony Lawn

An open lawn framed by old trees, with the mountains behind and the river below. Late afternoon light lands here.
