Two Outdoor Weddings in a green oase


A hidden green oasis for your outdoor wedding near Utrecht
Saying yes in a green fairytale setting
As a wedding photographer, I get to visit the most beautiful places. In this blog, I’m sharing a stunning location in Utrecht with you! A hidden green oasis perfect for your outdoor wedding.
Looking for a venue with plenty of greenery, breathtaking water views, and even the option to arrive by boat, just like in The Notebook? Then you’re in the right place if you choose to get married at Fort Vechten. This unique location in Utrecht has it all: a spacious yet wonderfully intimate outdoor space, a semi-covered area for less predictable weather, and the option to party in the bunker – how cool is that?
Make your wedding photos shine
One of my pro tips as a wedding photographer to make your photos even more stunning at this venue (and to give your wedding timeline a unique twist):
Plan your ceremony in the late afternoon or evening (depending on the season), when the sun is low and the light is beautifully soft and golden. This flattering light makes your photos sparkle! How to incorporate this into your timeline? Start the day a bit later, have dinner first, and then the ceremony. Or, host a cocktail hour before the ceremony and follow with dinner, flowing right into the party. That’s the beauty of a wedding – it’s your day, and you can do it your way!

Bring your vision to life
With the right styling, this wedding venue becomes even more breathtaking. Think of beautiful decor by Tjarda Stip, like in the photos below.
Check out the inspiration – this is how your wedding at Fort Vechten could look. Or, of course, entirely different if you want to make it your own.

Tailor your day to your story
One of the best things about Fort Vechten is its versatility. Whether you want a relaxed, bohemian vibe or a more modern, elegant celebration, this venue can adapt to your vision. Make it truly yours by adding personal touches – after all, it’s your day, your story!
