On 17 December 2026 we are getting married, and we would love nothing more than to have you there. A winter's day woven from ritual, warmth and wonder — a cacao ceremony to connect us all, a handfasting ceremony to bind us together in forever, a greenhouse dinner, and a dancefloor that stays full until the very last song.
And yes — a Thursday. We know that means taking an afternoon off, and we don't ask that lightly. We start at 14:00 and it runs as one continuous ritual: from the moment you step through the door to the very last song, every part carries into the next. It isn't something you can join halfway, so we hope you'll keep the afternoon and evening free and be with us from the start.
You are on our list because you are part of our journey. That is the whole reason.
These times may shift slightly as the day comes together. · Paviljoen Puur, Overdiemerweg 37, 1111 PP Diemen — route
Winter's magic, dress warm and bold, wrapped in black against the cold. Black tie or all black — the choice is yours, and the bride shall shine to light your way.
An evening of elegance. Tuxedos and dinner jackets, floor-length or refined cocktail dresses — dress as though the night matters, because it does.
Above all, wear what makes you feel wonderful. If you'd like to go all black, head to toe, that's more than welcome — not for mourning, but for the magic.
One thing we would ask: no white (tuxedo shirts excepted, of course), nothing that competes with the groom or bride. Mid-December in Amsterdam is cold — a beautiful coat is part of the look.
And no, you don't have to buy a tuxedo for one night. Renting one is easy and far kinder to your wallet — most suit shops offer it, shoes and bow tie included. Just book a fitting a few weeks ahead, December is a busy month.
Our circle is not complete without you.
Let us know before 1 September 2026 whether you'll be there — one reply is enough for you and your partner, if you have one. This is a day for grown souls: we've chosen to celebrate without little ones, and we hope you understand.
Send your RSVPIs there a song that lifts your spirit, or one that simply has to play before the night is over? Add it to our shared playlist, and it'll spin with us on 17 December.

Paviljoen Puur sits on the water at IJburg, on the eastern edge of Amsterdam — Overdiemerweg 37, Diemen.
Take the IJburg exit from the A1 or A9 and follow the signs to Paviljoen Puur. There are 40 free parking spaces on site, with extra room along the green verges. — route
From Amsterdam Amstel station, take bus 320 and change to bus 66 at Diemerknoop, getting off at Peter Martenstraat — about a 10–15 minute walk from there. Amsterdam's tram and bus routes around here are being reworked through 2027, so check 9292.nl or the GVB app close to the day for the latest route.
An Uber or taxi from the centre of Amsterdam takes roughly 20 minutes. Worth arranging your ride home in advance — it's a quiet corner of the city at midnight.
Thinking of turning it into a weekend in Amsterdam? A few places close to the venue — and the whole city is a tram ride away.
Right on the water, with a sky bar and a sustainable design — the shortest trip to Paviljoen Puur.
A small, warm bed & breakfast in a canal-house style building, run by André. Breakfast at the kitchen table, and tram 26 to the city centre in about 15 minutes.
Rooftop views over the IJ, around 20 minutes by tram to the city centre.
Something different: cabins and lodges to book, and room to park your camper. A short ride from the venue, on the water just west of IJburg.
Prefer to stay central? Pick anything you love in the centre or Amsterdam East — from there, IJburg is an easy Uber or tram ride away.
