This is what couples say about their fairytale wedding at Castle de Haar
What a fairy tale it was to get married at Kasteel de Haar in Haarzuilens! The wedding planners of Kasteel de Haar took care of every detail. They thought along with us and understood exactly what we wanted.
What a wonderful place is this castle to get married! We recommend it to everyone. Also the chapel where the ceremony took place was so intensely beautiful. The food tasted delicious and the service was very friendly and fast. Again big thanks for this special day.

Our fairytale day took place on June 20, 2025, and it was truly everything we dreamed of and more!
From the moment we first walked through the gates of the castle in 2021, we knew: this is our place. The majestic gardens, the magical chapel and the impressive atmosphere of the largest castle in the Netherlands made us feel as if we stepped into another era.
Everything was just right. The surroundings breathed romance and grandeur, and gave us - and our guests - an experience to remember. It felt like we were living our own fairy tale.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for a wedding location full of charm, history and enchantment. We look back on this day with lots of love and gratitude.
- June 20, 2025, forever in our hearts 💍✨
Janine & Jorik, June 2025
June 28, 2024 was the day our wedding was planned. We got pregnant and decided to postpone our wedding for a year. This went without a hitch in consultation with our contacts at Kasteel de Haar. This is a mark of how service oriented they are. From the first contact to the day of the wedding, close contact was possible if needed. Organizing packed lunches, a toilet visit while taking pictures in the gardens, nothing was too much! In addition, we were positively surprised by the fact that we understood from visitors that when they entered, they were asked to be considerate of the bride and groom as they took photos. This was beyond expectations and resulted in even more beautiful photos.
The ceremony in the Roman Garden was beautiful. We felt like prince & princess. Our wedding was just like a fairy tale. Our guests then had the opportunity to do a castle tour as an activity. This was a win-win situation because our guests had fun and we were able to take pictures undisturbed.
Hospitality, love and an unforgettable experience went hand and hand at our wedding. Thanks again for everything & we hope to see you again on our visits to the castle!

On May 9th we got married at perhaps the most fairytale location in the Netherlands: Kasteel de Haar. And what a day to remember!
The sun was shining, the atmosphere was magical and everything was right down to the last detail. Our ceremony took place in the beautiful chapel on the estate - intimate, stylish and romantic. It really felt like we had landed in a fairy tale.
After the ceremony we enjoyed a celebratory outdoor toast surrounded by the beautiful gardens, the people we care about and the imposing castle in the background. It was a special moment that we will cherish forever.
The crew of Castle de Haar deserves a big compliment. What a professional, warm and hospitable people! They made our day not only possible, but truly unforgettable. Everything was taken care of down to the last detail: from the delicious food to the fantastic party where we danced the night away.
We feel very grateful that we were able to say yes to each other in such a unique, romantic and historic place. Kasteel de Haar is for us not just a wedding location, but a place full of love, memories and magic.
Lots of love, Mr. & Mrs. Wolf, May 2025

Choosing a castle for our wedding ceremony had always been a dream, and De Haar Castle brought that dream to life. From strolling through its picturesque grounds and exchanging vows in the sunlit Roman Garden, to welcoming our guests to explore the medieval museum and enjoy a delightful dinner in the enchanting park, every moment felt like a scene from a fairytale. It was as if the magic of the movies had come to life.
Big thanks to the amazing castle staff - you made our day so special and memorable. We'll definitely be back many more times to relive those wonderful moments!

Last Friday (02-05-25) we had our fairytale wedding at Kasteel de Haar!
What a wonderful day this was. Everything was excellent and arranged down to the last detail; the staff was also extra helpful. We were even allowed to ride the carriage along the cour. The chapel was also very atmospheric and luckily there was enough room for Cindy's electric wheelchair and enormous dress. Finally, of course, the weather was also beautiful. We could not have had a more beautiful day. We are still enjoying the memories and photos.
We also received many compliments about the location and castle from our guests. Most of our guests have also been inside the castle and were very impressed. The snacks, lunch and dinner were also very well taken care of and very tasty. An extra compliment for the chef(s). They took excellent account of our dietary needs.
And if this was not enough. Today there was an envelope in the mailbox containing a personal card and 2 free tickets to the castle gardens! A very nice and sweet surprise. We will definitely make use of this.
So we want to thank the team of Castle de Haar once again very much for this amazing and fairytale day. Thank you so much for our special day. We will visit again soon.

We were married on August 23, 2024 and want to thank very much everyone who did anything for our wedding. We had a great time. It is a dream come true for us. Being able to say Yes to each other in the evening in such a beautiful place.
You have exceeded all the expectations we had. What enthusiasm, professionalism, atmosphere, service, flexibility etc. The food is also really very good ! Thank you to everyone on our behalf who made an effort on our day! It is still unreal for us what we experienced!

We had been planning to get married at Castle de Haar for some time. After visiting the venue with Xiaoke, we knew we had found our perfect location. The event team at Kasteel de Haar was incredibly helpful and supportive throughout the entire process. Even when we had to choose between the outdoor space and the chapel, we were quickly helped. When it started to rain and we had to move the ceremony inside, they quickly moved everything to the chapel without any problems.
Our wedding at Castle de Haar was an amazing experience. Both our guests and we enjoyed every moment. Everything was well organized, the dinner was delicious and the staff was extremely attentive. We sincerely thank everyone at Kasteel de Haar, especially Xiaoke, Timothy, Sandra, Laura and June!
Danielle and Nick, May 2024
On 17-05-2024 we got married at Castle de Haar. We really wanted to get married under the 'Old Tree' with the beautiful castle in the background. The weather forecast was not so favorable, so it was very exciting whether this would work out. As agreed, our master of ceremonies was called on the morning of the wedding to discuss the location. Because it was still uncertain whether and at what time the rain would fall, it could not yet be decided whether the ceremony could take place outside. They kept an eye on the weather forecast and after several consultations with our master of ceremonies it was finally decided that we could get married outside under the 'Old Tree'. Fantastic news!
We look back on a wonderful day and are very grateful to the staff of Castle de Haar for their cooperation. Everything was arranged to perfection and exactly as we envisioned!

We had a fantastic and loving wedding at Castle de Haar. What a great location, super! The communication prior to our wedding was fine and pleasant, but also on the day itself everything was well organized. The staff is very friendly and happy to think along with you. If you want to get married at a fairytale location, we highly recommend Kasteel de Haar!

On February 29 we celebrated our wedding at Castle de Haar. We enjoyed the beautiful ambiance and despite the weather it was a fairytale wedding.
Everything was supervised to perfection by the knowledgeable staff. We received many compliments from our guests about the hospitality. The venue itself is perfect and made it all in all a beautiful ceremony with a delicious dinner and to end with a sparkling party! Worth every penny!
Regards, Sabrina and Ramon, February 2024
"We would like to thank Castle de Haar tremendously for the wonderful day we had. Even though it was raining heavily, it certainly did not affect the day negatively. Timothy was very hospitable and thought with us when the weather was not so good. We were so grateful for this. We look back fondly on our day and cannot imagine a better wedding day."

"Our dream was always to get married in a castle. After a small search I ended up at the beautiful Castle de Haar. Once you walk in through the gates you soon find yourself in a fairy tale paradise.
We had chosen the "Old Tree" as the location near the castle. This tree is in front of the entrance to the castle so it has a great view. Unfortunately the weather was not as planned and we were called nicely at 10:00 and advised to do it inside the Chapel after all (plan B). We opted for that and actually it made the day even more beautiful. It is really beautiful and very intimate. Just the way we wanted it.
Communication could be a little better but it certainly didn't ruin our day!
We had a beautiful ceremony at Castle de Haar. A day not to forget!"
Veronique & Sam, July 2023
"We are very grateful for the good care of Castle de Haar for our wedding. We could easily make an appointment and received a nice gift on Valentine's Day on the way to our wedding. During the tour we were shown many different options and were immediately impressed by the idyllic location. There was good and smooth contact. We also received season tickets to the park afterwards. We also received very positive feedback from our guests, including about the castle visit during our photo shoot. We will definitely return there ourselves. Thank you so much for this beautiful day!"
Alex and Martine, July 2023
"Kasteel de Haar is a fairytale location and so romantic, we received so many compliments from our guests who were thrilled to be there.
We chose the Old Chestnut Tree as our ceremony location and although in the morning it looked like the rain was going to ruin our plans, the sun was shining by the time of our ceremony. In this regard, we are extremely grateful to the staff because they were so helpful and understanding, and allowed us to have the chairs laid outside. So thank you all for making the most beautiful day of our lives possible!"
Diana & Giorgio, July 23, 2023
"Kasteel de Haar was a dream location for our wedding, we had a great day and everything went perfectly as we had wanted and all thanks to the cooperation of the friendly and understanding staff of the Castle. We are extremely grateful and satisfied with everything from start to finish. We will definitely continue to visit Castle de Haar."
Persila and Amir, July 2023
The most beautiful day of our lives...everything was taken care of down to the last detail. Our witnesses had a little delay but that was solved perfectly and quickly. For anyone who wants to get married romantically I recommend Castle de Haar. Perfect and multiple possibilities on the grounds of the Castle... Our thanks for the good care. I do not remember the name of the young gentleman who accompanied us, but our compliments!

"We got married in the Roman Garden of Castle de Haar and we couldn't have imagined a more beautiful place for our ceremony. It was right when all the flowers were in full bloom, and it was beautiful! It was a bit exciting whether we could get married outside, given the weather forecast, but in consultation we took the gamble, and we certainly did not regret it! Communication with both Sophie and Timothy was efficient. Thank you for helping make it possible for the most beautiful day of our lives!"
Wilmer & Nathalia, July 24, 2023
You should definitely get married at Kasteel de Haar, it looks and feels like a fairytale! You won't regret it.
We got married on June 16, 2023, and it was the perfect summer wedding! We had our ceremony at the Rose Garden, and June was the perfect time to have it because the roses were all in bloom, and the sun was out, and we had a perfect view of the castle during the ceremony. We had guests who flew in from all over the world and they found the castle and the ceremony venue absolutely wonderful They kept telling us that the wedding and the castle was so beautiful for days after the ceremony was done. Also, the Castle de Haar Team was so professional with helping us set up for the wedding. They took care of details such as the chair set up and music, and even gave us useful suggestions to make sure everything ran smoothly.
You won't find a more beautiful castle in the Netherlands. Thank you to Sandra, Sophie and Timothy and everyone on the team for helping us have a perfect day. We recommend Castle de Haar happily and without hesitation 🙂 .

On November 11, 2022 we got married at Kasteel de Haar. The religious ceremony was held in the beautiful chapel that just was fully renovated. The chapel itself looked stunning and really was the finishing touch on the ceremony. As you exit the chapel as newlyweds and see the majestic castle, the castle grounds, the gardens and the water, you really feel very special and blessed. The staff of the castle is very friendly and approachable. We were welcome to visit as many times as we wanted in preparation for the wedding - I think we came four times in total.
While we were busy with the photographers and the videographers our guest were touring the castle and got to know all about its history. We received so many compliments from our guests about this venue. We highly recommend considering Kasteel de Haar as (part) of your wedding day.
On Valentine's Day before our wedding and also shortly after our wedding day we received a small present from the castle. Very thoughtful and considerate! This sums up how nice this venue is.
Thank you Castle de Haar!
How quickly time goes by!
A moment to ever experience and never forget! On August 18, 2022 we got married! I used to go to Castle de Haar as a child, I was told that this is the largest castle in NL. Since then I never forgot this. And coincidentally my wife wanted to get married at a beautiful castle, at that moment I immediately thought of Castle de Haar.
We had combined on our wedding day with a Chinese morning ceremony, western afternoon ceremony at the castle and ending with a Chinese evening dinner. The highlight was really at the beautiful location of Castle de Haar.
On our wedding day, we do realize what a stroke of luck we have. All week it was supposed to rain and exactly on our beautiful day the sun was shining wonderfully. This allowed us to have the ceremony at the castle and not alternatively at the chapel.
Finally, our guests were very well received at the carriage house. Good care of consumption and service.
"It's been a great experience for having our wedding at Kasteel de Haar. We are really impressed by the professinalizm of the wedding organization team throughout the whole progress: clear and informative communications before the wedding make us feeling this is the right place to go despite we're living quite far from the castle, and on the day everything went very smooth with great care and efforts from them. We also have to mention that we even received greetings card and a gift from the team few weeks after the wedding. Really unexpected and exceptional! How nice and considerable they are! We are very grateful for the surprise!
Last and not least, the castle is so beautiful! We believe one cannot find a better one in the Netherlands. Think of the pictures you will get with such beautiful scenes. We will never forget the special day we had there."
Once upon a time...
This is often how fairy tales begin.But then once fairy tales become real it is forever.
1 minute were 2 minutes and 2 minutes became our whole life.
On Aug. 2, 2022. The beautiful castle. The beautiful weather. The beautiful Roman garden and us as a beautiful couple in the spotlight.Everything made sense, everything fell together. Not just that day but our whole life. Our past and our future.You made it for us what we could only dream of. The officiant was amazing. The whole ambiance.That we were able to celebrate this day entirely with you was unique and fitting for us and our guests.
As a little girl, I once wanted to marry a prince in a castle.Never knowing that I would be standing there with my red dress there with my husband by my side.For us, Castle de Haar really is a little bit "our" castle
Our thanks are great!
Mariska and Cornelis | August 2022
July 18, 2022 we were married at Castle de Haar, it was in a word a fairy tale. At such a beautiful location you don't need any extra decoration for your ceremony. Because the staff of Castle de Haar put up all the chairs and supplies themselves, there is little left for you to worry about.
After the ceremony, we also did our wedding shoot in the gardens of Castle de Haar, which produced some really great photos.
It was a day never to forget!
Thanks again for the unforgettable day.
Sincerely,
Rick and Anouk | July 2022
In June 2022 we were married at Castle de Haar, we truly had an unforgettable day! This was partly due to the beautiful location and the hospitality of the staff. From the first moment we felt welcome and there was an explanation of the different possibilities. During our preparations we experienced the communication as pleasant in which they actively thought along with us. Due to the tropical temperatures we were given a fallback option just beforehand to sit under the oaks in the Roman garden, where during the ceremony a pair of storks flew around above the beautiful place. 'If you are going to get married, do it right' said the bride who had never in her life thought of getting married. Afterwards, we had comments for weeks about how wonderful the day was where everything was right. Thank you!
We were married in the Chapel, then toasted at the Coach House. We then took some fairy-tale pictures in the gardens, to end again at the Coach House with a BBQ. In short, from beginning to end taken care of to perfection.
Castle de Haar made our dream come true, so we highly recommend them. Thanks for the good care and all the thinking. This was a great experience that we will cherish forever.
Hidde and Jessie|June 2022
On May 13, 2022, we were married in the Rose Garden of Castle de Haar!
In early 2021 we looked at several locations, but Castle de Haar really stood out!
The contact with the staff was fine and we experienced it as very pleasant!
Weather permitting, we would say our Yes outside in the Rose Garden. Should this not succeed, due to rain, we could move to the Chapel.
The morning of our wedding, the master of ceremonies was called to coordinate whether or not we wanted to marry outside.
Yoni and Sarella|May 2022
Castle de Haar has been the ultimate castle for us for years. After 3x rescheduling due to corona, on May 12, 2022 our fairy tale finally became a reality. And what a fantastic day it was! Beautiful radiant weather, stunning surroundings and enormously helpful staff.

Saying yes at the Old Tree
On May 11, 2022 we said yes to each other at the beautiful Old Tree at Castle de Haar.
What a magical day it was!!! Besides this beautiful location, we were also very lucky with the weather.
Everyone enjoyed it immensely and will not soon forget this day!
The hospitality at both Castle de Haar and the Coach House was top notch! Very nice people who thought with us and were there for us all day."
Kay and Melanie|May 2022
Castle de Haar will always remain a special place for us.
We enjoyed ourselves immensely and still look back fondly on our fantastic day. What a beautiful location it is and the pictures show this. Everything went as we wanted and we would like to thank Timothy in particular for that.

"Mom, look a princess!"
We had a great day Sept. 21. Sunny and at 1 of the most beautiful locations in the Netherlands. We also enjoyed it immensely. It provided a fairytale wedding with very beautiful images. We can hardly choose between the photos. Jacobine was told more than once, "You look like a princess!" and a young visitor to the castle called out to his mother, "mom, look a princess!". That made it a royal day, that Prince's Day at Castle de Haar 🙂
Guido and Jacobine | September 2021
Dear employees of Castle de Haar,
Back in the day when I was a 6-year-old girl and saw the castle at St. Nicholas' club I wanted to get married there. September 23, 2021, 18 years later, we got married at your place!
It was the fairy tale I've always dreamed of, the preparations the thinking along and the final day! We enjoyed it together as a bride and groom and received unbelievable reactions to the location but also to the food. Furthermore, our guests were happy with how everything went with the rules around corona!
The photos turned out incredibly beautiful and see one of the pictures above.
Thanks again for the fairytale day! And everything around it 🙂 Please keep doing what you are doing, because you will make many more brides and grooms very happy with their day.

Feelingly, Kasteel de Haar is now also a bit 'our castle'
On 01-09-2021 we were married in the chapel of Castle de Haar. A year and a half ago we started preparing quietly. We visited (at Corona time) several locations. We got a private tour at Kasteel de Haar when the Netherlands was in lockdown. Very nice that this was made possible at the time. We immediately fell in love with the castle and the garden. Once we chose Kasteel de Haar we went back several times for preparations. This was never a problem and the staff at the box office were always up to date.
Our wedding day itself Timothy was present. During the photo shoot in the beautiful garden, he came by several times. He stayed in the background, but kept an eye on whether everything was going well. We asked a friend if he wanted to be our Babs-for-a-day and within the municipality of Utrecht, and therefore Castle de Haar, this is possible. This made the ceremony very personal
We held the reception and dinner at the Coach House. We really liked having everything in one location. The Koetshuis thought well of our wishes, and during the reception and dinner there was a very casual and relaxed atmosphere.
We look back on a great day! Feeling like Castle de Haar is now also a bit 'our castle'.
Ben and Sharon Reckers | September 2021
We wanted our guests to feel it was not just another wedding
We fell in love with De Haar Castle, when we first visited it a few years ago and, when we decided to have a wedding, we instantly knew there couldn't have been a lovelier place for us to celebrate our union. We wanted our guests to feel it was not just another wedding, but more of a unique and unforgettable family excursion. We are very grateful for having had this opportunity, we'll treasure it forever and hopefully future generations will also enjoy the castle. We appreciate all the promptness and support we had from the staff, especially given the conditions we had to organize this wedding, and we thank them all!
Catalina & Bart | June 2021
Being able to get married in the castle gave an extra dimension to our wedding. It made the ceremony like a fairy tale
During the preparation, everyone was faced with Corona, which left the possibility of the wedding going ahead uncertain. Once it became clear that it could go ahead, Sandra and Timothy responded quickly and decisively. After booking it turned out that on our wedding day the Italy event was also taking place (rescheduled by Corona). This initially seemed like a setback for us, but Castle de Haar provided an excellent (perhaps better) alternative here by giving us the opportunity to get married in the Main Hall before the castle would open to the public.
Prior to the wedding we visited the location several times and each time we were warmly and openly received.During the last visit at the wedding location Timothy came up with very nice suggestions to make the ceremony extra special. On the day itself, everything was nicely taken care of and well organized. Timothy and Sandra were there for us and thought along to make the day perfect.
Henrietta and Vincent | September 2020
Our wedding was celebrated on 20-06-2020, just as the first measures around COVID-19 were slowly being lifted. Many things were against us, even Gemeente Utrecht did not want to send a wedding officiant to officiate our wedding. With the help of Kasteel de Haar we went into conclave against this decision and had to talk like mad to get one to come our way. We were allowed to have the wedding ceremony in the Roman Garden with a maximum of 30 guests. At the time, not what we totally envisioned, as we had to disappoint 85 day guests due to COVID-19. Yet somehow we missed these people less than they missed us, haha!
We had a wonderful day and always look back on it with pleasure, the service, accessibility and cooperation were very much appreciated in those bizarre times. Castle de Haar was able to make a dream come true for us, when it was really very difficult to do so in COVID-19 time, and yet they kept their word, namely giving us a "fairytale wedding" and for that we will always be grateful to them.
Deidre & Kilian | June 20, 2020
We thought it was a day not to be forgotten!
On November 30, we were married in the chapel at Castle de Haar. Everything was super for each other. The coordination with Sandra and Timothy went very smoothly and we could always contact them if we had any questions. Then we had a delicious dinner in the castle, what looked super!
Thanks for thinking along in the details and for all the help.
Gijsbert and Liz | November 2019
Who doesn't dream of getting married at a castle?
Kasteel de Haar is a beautiful location where our eyes were feasted. Forgetting everything and experiencing the day together with family and friends in a fairytale castle. It was a day never to forget.
What made it extra special was that we got to say yes to each other on March 15, 2020. This was the beginning of the corona era and the day the government finally decided to start a nationwide lockdown. On the days leading up to this day and on the day itself we had a lot of practical support and moral support from the staff, for which thanks again!
Daniel and Charelle | March 2020
Our beautiful day!
Our wedding at Castle de Haar was fantastic! We had our ceremony in the beautiful rose garden and both we and all the guests loved it. The staff at Castle de Haar was also very nice. They were very nice and at our wedding something went wrong, but after we pointed this out it was solved very quickly and professionally. In the end it was a very successful day at Castle de Haar!
Robbert and Anastasia | September 2019
Castle de Haar is one of the most beautiful locations in the Netherlands.
We had visited the castle for a day a year before and said to each other, "if the time ever comes we will get married here."
We did, we had chosen to get married in the library in the castle, a warm cozy feel and perfect for our small party. Everything was arranged to perfection by Sandra and Kim. We had good contact about how we would like to celebrate and with good advice we came to a beautiful picture. We enjoyed the best day of our lives and it was truly a fairy tale. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful the castle was and just a perfect wedding location. Our thanks are great and we look back with pleasure on the cooperation to make this day an unforgettable day.
Jessica and Jeffrey Verhagen | June 2019
There was finally our big day!
The preparation and thinking along went so smoothly and spontaneously in cooperation with the castle, that we knew right away that we had made the right choice. The day itself went by so quickly, it seemed like a fairy tale. And now after the wedding, this day is still a fairy tale!!! We did it all our own way. We had a bbq and then went back to the castle with the photographers. The sun wasn't there in full strength, but because of that there were beautiful skies which really gave an even bigger fairy tale effect to our day (also thanks to our amazing photographers Siebe and Su)! We were for a moment really the prince and princess of the castle, this special feeling we carry with us with great pride for the rest of our lives! To everyone at the castle and carriage house, thank you so much for this fairytale day!!!
Marcel and Eveliene de Kort | June 2018
Fantastic fairytale location
Everything is beautifully maintained. Beautiful castle and a super beautiful Chapel! We were married in the Chapel and had our wedding photos taken in the gardens. Beautiful location to take your wedding photos! This was all fantastic!
Lucinda & Michel | May 2018
Our most beautiful day
They sometimes say that a wedding can be one of the most beautiful days of your life.
For us, it really has been, and it started with the preparations and accompanying pre-wedding fun.
September 2017 we had an initial meeting with Sandra shortly after our engagement to discuss the possibilities for a wedding at Castle de Haar. We already knew it from the Winter Fair and did not have to think long about our dream location. Several possibilities were discussed and soon we had set a date; May 5, 2018.
From then on Sandra helped us with the initial preparations for a while, working with Het Koetshuis for the catering part. After a few months we were introduced to Kim who would be with us on our wedding day itself. She had great understanding and patience for our need for planning to perfection. Because yes, when we go for it we go for it right and we only want that once! She was very accessible, even to our stakeholders. She assisted us on the day itself to make it something unforgettable and we succeeded! How could it be otherwise at such a beautiful location!
This is a day that not only we, but also our loved ones, will remember with immense pleasure for a long time to come.
With great thanks to all the staff members involved at Castle de Haar!

Beautiful castle with a very nice estate!
Very well maintained and in very nice condition!

The castle, chapel, garden and weather completed our fairy tale
The choice to get married at Castle de Haar was quickly made for us, despite the travel distance. Been there many times in the past and always thought, should I ever get married, I'll marry here! When you walk there it's like a fairy tale, let alone when you get to get married there. We got married in the Chapel. An intimate wedding ceremony with an Armenian priest. Very special and especially for our non Armenian guests. After the ceremony we took pictures with our guests. The images are stunning, fortunately we had a beautiful wedding film and countless beautiful moments captured on film.
Beforehand we had close contact with Sandra, she made sure with great care and attention that our wishes were made possible. Timothy was our master of ceremonies on the day, with him a lot could be discussed.
He was very helpful and attentive to us and our guests. A fantastic team!
Martin & Mary | September 2017
De Haar Castle is the perfect location for our wedding
We had a perfect wedding day at De Haar. It is like a real fairy tale. Our guests were all impressed by our arrangement. We appreciate the quality service from the whole team.
Qingnan & Guannan | August 2017
You are well thought of; the schedule they keep is generous.
Beautiful location, an incredibly large area. Very beautiful castle with a separate Chapel, which you can reach by car. The people are very hospitable. We were allowed to visit more often.
Ilse and Iwan | July 2017
It was a very successful day
We had quite a list of dietary requirements and they were handled really well. The young man who accompanied us on the day was very involved and friendly, and our guests loved the venue. The weather cooperated as well.
Kelly & Bryan | July 2017
It really felt like our day
Exactly as we wanted and above expectations well arranged with very good food! 1 location the whole wedding day is ideal, and because of the many locations and beautiful gardens it was never boring for our guests. Ceremony in the rose garden, cake at the Tuynhuis, during photos the guests could see the castle and the evening was at the Koetshuis de Haar.
Dasha & Roel | July 2017
Our best day ever
Back in October 2015, we had an appointment with Sandra to explore a wedding at the Castle. Ultimately the only venue we went to look at. This had to be our wedding venue! The contacts with Sandra and Kim went well. A few weeks before the wedding we went over the final details. We discussed things we hadn't thought of ourselves but fortunately they did. Kim showed beautiful examples of how the chairs could be placed under the tree which allowed us to make a good choice. Saturday, May 27, 2017 was finally here! From the moment we drove into the park to the old chestnut tree it was truly a fairy tale! Our day guests were waiting for us along the path by the tree and luckily there was shade as it turned out to be a tropically hot day. We were seated so that we could see the guests and the officiant as well as the castle. What a view! As a bride and groom, we completely missed the presence of Castle staff and that is a compliment. Everything was well organized. The cooperation with the Coach House was perfect, both in the preparation and on the day itself. Thank you so much for the great care on our best day ever!
Marc & Saskia | May 2017
The perfect day
Despite the bad weather forecast, we were very lucky at our wedding. We had the perfect weather as we had hoped. A beautiful ceremony outside in the romantic Rose Garden in the sunshine.
From the first meeting with Timothy and Sandra, we had a good feeling about this location.
The period beforehand with the conversations gave us the time and pleasure to live towards it. Besides the nice atmosphere of the location, Timothy and Sandra took all the worries out of our hands including the sound system and the extra connection for the piano. Everything went according to schedule. We received many positive comments from our guests about the beautiful Rose Garden, the great service and the delicious snacks at the Coach House. We are very happy that we made the decision to celebrate our day at Castle de Haar. Thank you for the good organization. Thanks to your dedication and hospitality we had an unforgettable day to remember. We look back with pleasure on our beautiful wedding day! We will definitely come back to your place to enjoy the beautiful view of the castle and look back at the beautiful memories.

Our dream came true!
Thank you so much Sandra, Timothy and other staff at Kasteel de Haar for making our unforgettable wedding day on August 26, 2016 possible! We actually knew right away that we wanted to do our big day at Castle de Haar. We didn't look at any other venues. We had cycled by here so many times and dreamed away at the idea. Our dream came true; our expectations were even exceeded. It started already in the morning with taking pictures in the Castle Garden in so many beautiful different places. It's nice that Castle de Haar offers exclusivity, so you really are the only bride and groom on the big day. For the ceremony we chose the intimacy of the library with beautiful acoustics for the piano playing. Then had a lovely drink with high tea at the Tuinhuys. The weather was beautiful. Everything was taken care of to perfection and went as we had pre-arranged. For the party we went to another location that better suited the atmosphere we had envisioned for it.

Good, professional and cordial
And then you are engaged and the choice was quickly made; we want to get married in a castle. Then you see Castle de Haar, beautiful photos, but yes the price.... At first we didn't dare go by, because Castle de Haar, that must be expensive. But the price was not too bad. You can always call or email for a price indication. We chose to do the ceremony, photo shoot, wedding cake and reception at Castle de Haar.
August 23, 2016 was our day. We got married in the Roman garden. The castle behind us and the guests we could all see. I really felt like a princess in a real castle. It really is a dream location and it looks like a fairy tale, it not only looks like it, it was. What a beautiful day we had at Castle de Haar.
The communication with Timothy and Sandra was good, professional and cordial. You get a quick response and they really think with you. They are very busy, but you really don't notice this from them. If you happen to run into them or have an appointment with them, they take all the time they need for you. You are really treated as a human being and not as a number. The communication was nice and warm. A week after the wedding we received a card from Castle de Haar with a nice booklet, very thoughtful. That was really the icing on the cake.
All in all, really experienced a top day, a fairy tale, our fairy tale. I would recommend it to everyone if you want to get married at a castle. Beautiful location and loving staff.

Friday, May 13, 2016, our day!
We were married this day in the library at the beautiful location "Castle de Haar".
On an open top wedding location route, we went to look at Castle de Haar. We were both sold immediately, how beautiful it is here!
The contact with Sandra and Timothy was super, nothing was too much or too crazy for them. The day itself we were enthusiastically received and Sandra and Timothy came to congratulate us personally.
All care was taken out of our hands.
We received fantastic help and guidance on this day, but also the time leading up to this day. You have helped make this day an unforgettable day for us. We also had only enthusiastic and positive reactions from our family and friends.
Thank you so much for this!!!

What a picture!
On May 12, 2016, we were married in the rose garden of Castle de Haar. We had a fantastic day at a beautiful location with super nice weather. It was truly a fairy tale! At the viewing, we were both immediately in love with this location. What a picture! The communication beforehand was pleasant and on the day itself, everything was also top-notch. We found it unfortunate that no wedding photos can be taken inside if you are getting married outside.
But there are plenty of great spots outside as well. A microphone and music can just be used outside. It was also no problem that we had a large number of guests. In short; marrying at Castle de Haar is highly recommended for a fairytale wedding!

Fine contact
'On September 25, 2015, we were married in the chapel at Castle de Haar. We enjoyed this day immensely! The castle, the Chapel and the garden ensured that the picture was complete! We want to thank you for the fine contact and good care in the run-up to the wedding day as well as on the day itself'

A perfect day
'We were married under the big chestnut tree overlooking the beautiful castle. After looking at many venues, we immediately fell in love with this beautiful place. This turned out to have been a very good choice, with everything on the day going perfectly. From the preparation and decoration to the care surrounding the ceremony and the treatment, everything was well taken care of down to the last detail.
There was also active input on bringing creative ideas to fruition, as well as alternative scenarios should it rain. They also kept a close eye on whether everything went well and on time (including ensuring privacy in a public setting). Therefore, it was not a problem that we could take our bridal car onto the property and that the ceremony could be dressed to our wishes.
We found the communication with the Castle, and especially with our "wedding planner" Timothy, to be very good. All in all, the day could not have gone better. In fact, we experienced the day as surprisingly relaxed and festive and are very grateful to Castle de Haar for this.

A beautiful day
'We looked at the different wedding locations at Castle de Haar. All the locations are beautiful, but we immediately decided that we wanted to get married outside in the rose garden with the castle in the background. We got married in the summer and all the flowers were in beautiful bloom. It was a beautiful day. Thanks in part to the staff at Castle de Haar, we experienced the most beautiful day of our lives.
Everything was taken care of to perfection, our guests were welcomed, for all questions the master of ceremonies could contact Timothy and he made sure everything was in the setup as we had discussed in advance. We could fill it in and dress it the way we wanted. We had nice conversations with Timothy beforehand and we were very happy that he could also be present on the day itself. The guests were also very impressed with the wedding location, they are still talking about it. Thanks for all the good care.

Very professional
'At the beginning of July we got married under the big Chestnut tree at Castle de Haar. A beautiful outdoor location with the castle as a fantastic 'accessory' in the background. From the beginning we were helped very professionally and warmly by the castle staff. All the necessary facilities (catheter, chairs, sound system, signage etc) are arranged and prepared by them, we could decide where and how we wanted it to be. And should the weather be unexpectedly bad, alternative indoor venues are available.
Besides the beautiful location for the ceremony, the Castle Garden offers many different and romantic places for the photo shoot. We really liked that we could arrange all catering matters with the other organization on the grounds, Koetshuis de Haar. They may be two separate organizations, but the cooperation went well and therefore it is possible to celebrate your wedding from beginning to end at this beautiful place. Very relaxed. Really highly recommended!

Good care
'Hereby Willem and I would like to thank you very much for the enormously good care of the past months. We enjoyed Friday 15-05-15 enormously. And not only that: also from family and friends we received a lot of nice comments about the wedding, location, chapel and catering. So these compliments are also for you. We wish you a lot of fun guiding other weddings!'
