This is why Helling 7 is the ultimate spot for your wedding

This is why Helling 7 is the ultimate spot for your wedding

Between the steel of ships, old harbor cranes and the smell of fire you will find the delightful Slipway 7 on. We know the former shipyard canteen in the Amsterdam port area as a wild restaurant with refined food from real fire. But Slipway 7 is more, it is an all-in-one location on the IJ. The location has several unique spaces, with which a wedding (or other special day) can be designed exactly as desired. Whether it is an intimate ceremony, a grand party, an extensive dinner or a relaxed drink with a view of the IJ, you call and Slipway 7 turns.

Inside is the restaurant, a cool setting in an industrial space where wood fire plays the leading role. Intuitive cooking takes place in the open kitchen: flames, pure flavours and beautiful ingredients that are prepared in an authentic way. Perfect for both cosy dinners and large groups and parties. For an intimate setting there is the conservatory: light, atmospheric and ideal for special occasions. One floor down is the wharf cellar, hidden under the restaurant and therefore a real 'hidden gem'. Intimate, a touch mysterious, and perfect for dinners, drinks or parties. The cellar can be combined with the garden for an extra outdoor experience, including a view of the harbour area. A guaranteed success.

The terrace offers a front-row view of Amsterdam's last active shipyard. While you get married overlooking the IJ, sparks fly on the other side. In case of rain, there is a covered area that transforms the terrace into a cozy outdoor area. The garden is also all about atmosphere. Cozy corners, a great view and space to celebrate, eat or just relax. The garden is perfect for sunny ceremonies, drinks or parties until late at night. Tip: the Garden is the ideal place for a festival wedding, where a unique experience can be created for the guests in a setting that is anything but standard.
