Unique wedding locations in Europe: this is where you want to get married
First of all, we believe that any location is or can be a wedding venue. But because it's also a given that some venues simply scream "GET MARRIED HERE," and the people at those venues often have a lot of experience (which is much better than having to reinvent the wheel, we can tell you), there are those unique wedding locations in Europe That stand head and shoulders above the rest. Europe? Absolutely! We want to go on a trip! We want a wedding weekender! We want a (modern) fairytale! And preferably somewhere where we can accommodate all our guests (or nearby).
A list by wedding planner Evi, and yes, there's more where this came from... But then you need Evi!
We travel or fly all over the world, while one of the most beautiful wedding venues lies hidden in the greenery of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug. It is Culinary Estate Parc Broekhuizen. The main building of Parc Broekhuizen is a stately country house and a dream setting for both a chic ceremony and an intimate dinner. Inside, you will find halls with modern art, velvet chairs, and wooden floors with views of the park; outside, centuries-old trees, stately staircases, manicured lawns, and a lake where the evening sun falls just right. The grounds also feature the Coach House, perfect for a ceremony, dinner, or dance party. Exclusive hire of the estate is possible, but the private rooms are also beautiful and completely private.
In both the Main House and the Coach House, you will find beautiful rooms and suites. The Grand Suite, with its four-poster bed, view, and a bathtub in the middle of the room, is the perfect setting for the wedding night. Your guests can also stay overnight. And then there is the food. Getting married is celebrating love, and the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. At Parc Broekhuizen, the chefs work with seasonal products and create a menu with you that suits the day: fine dining in the ballroom, a walking dinner in the garden, cake under the trees, or a champagne brunch on Sunday morning.
A wedding stands or falls with the people behind the scenes, and they are in the right place here. Still have doubts? That's understandable; it's your big day. A private tour or a personalized, tailor-made proposal can be arranged in no time, so you can make your choice with 100% confidence. So go for it.

Europe is full of places to say "I do," and many destinations are easily accessible by car. Anticipation is guaranteed during the journey there! But a road trip to your own wedding is a little different from a vacation. You have a deadline and a trunk full of irreplaceable items. We discussed this with Interpolis's continuous travel insurance, which also applies when you travel by your own transport:
- Smart charging. Make sure to distribute the weight evenly on the left and right, and do not stack it higher than the back seat, so you maintain visibility through the rear window. Drive a short loop before you leave: you will notice the difference in braking and steering compared to an empty car.
- Parking along the way. Make sure to lock everything properly and never leave valuables unattended during your trip. Always take them out of the car as well. Additionally, it is wise to take out supplementary baggage coverage; this insures your belongings against damage and theft.
- Traffic rules. Low-emission zones, a mandatory safety vest, different speed limits. Looking it up before you leave saves you surprises.
- Breakdown on the road. You don't want a flat tire the day before your wedding. With the additional roadside assistance and replacement vehicle coverage, you won't be stranded for long. This does not apply to rental cars, so arrange this with the rental company.
- Cancellation. At Interpolis, you take out continuous cancellation insurance within 14 days of booking your trip. So put it on your list as soon as the party venue is confirmed.
Let's get the party started! Discover with Interpolis: how to set off well-prepared.
