Getting married in Nijmegen
A day you will never forget
Congratulations, you have decided to get married. There is still a lot to arrange, the ceremony, the guest list, the wedding dress and of course the venue.
De Hemel is an official wedding venue in Nijmegen. The ceremony can take place here, you and your guests do not have to go to the town hall first. Ceremony, reception, dinner, party and staying over, all at one address in a monastery building from 1196.

Staying over
In one of our two hotel suites in the old electricity house of the Commanderie van Sint Jan. View accommodation
A nice wedding tip. The Sint Nicolaaskapel on the Valkhof in Nijmegen is the oldest stone building in our country still in use for its original purpose. A ceremony there and the rest of the day at De Hemel brings the oldest places in the city together on your special day.

Practical questions
The questions we are asked most often.
Can the wedding ceremony take place at De Hemel?
Yes. De Hemel is an official wedding venue in Nijmegen. We arrange the date with you and the municipality.
Where can our guests park?
In the car parks in the centre of Nijmegen, from there it is about a five minute walk. See the directions.
Do you take allergies, vegetarian and vegan into account?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan are on the menu as standard, allergies we arrange in advance.
Can we pay in instalments?
Yes. We ask for a deposit when booking and the rest we agree together.
Can we do only the reception or only the dinner with you?
That is possible. Many couples marry elsewhere and come to us for the reception, the dinner or the evening party.
