Hello romance! Getting married in a gunpowder factory in Muiden

Getting married in a powder factory... Hmmzzz, no, that doesn't make our hearts beat one, two, three faster (doesn't sound good, does it?). A gunpowder factory sounds raw, unpleasant, even violent and like a place you shouldn't be. Despite that, this gem is really a gunpowder factory in Muiden. And this is what you want. Real. Because oh... Hello romance! And hello, the feeling that we want to get married again. Please.

Starting gun in 1702

Starting gun in 1702

First a quick dive into history. In 1702, the starting signal (ha) was given to build the Royal Dutch Explosive Factory, also called the Krijgsman. And this factory has withstood a lot, from literal explosions, thank you, to the additions and demolitions of buildings on the site. This factory was open until 2003. And in 2013 the circle was complete and the Kruitfabriek opened as an event location, called EXPLORE. 3 cheers as far as we're concerned.

The party you always wanted

The party you always wanted

There are three buildings on the site that serve as party locations. The Boiler House, Coach House and the Forge. Well, the Koetshuis sounds like a place where you would want to get married, and it is certainly beautiful. But the Forge is the place to be, if you ask us. So that is that space with the ecclesiastical, romantic gut feeling. and beautiful light through the high windows. Well, if the weather is nice you can also get married outside. Or give the reception there. Or eat in the Koetshuis, or throw a party in the Ketelhuis. You get it, plenty of choice.

Industrial yet modern

With its own drawbridge a little further away and parking spaces for 300 people, it is a warm welcome. The authentic character has remained. Where it used to be thoroughly industrial, it is now perfect with the combination of modern facilities and finishes. Our focus is on getting married in a gunpowder factory, as probably noted. This location is also perfect for other events! Business, not business, know that it is possible.
