An unforgettable wedding celebration, thanks to people who practise their profession with heart and soul!

Where do you begin when you’re so incredibly happy that words don’t seem enough?
We celebrated our wedding at De Pastorie in Leke and can say with complete conviction that it turned out to be one of the most beautiful days of our lives. And we owe a large part of that to Antoine, his wife and their fantastic team.
We are both exceptionally busy professionals. Organising a wedding alongside our daily activities was therefore no easy task. When you have someone like Antoine by your side at a time like that, guiding everything along the right path with his experience, knowledge and commitment, it really is a godsend.
From the very first moment, we felt we were in good hands. They thought things through with us, offered advice, organised everything and, above all, took the pressure off us. The result was a wedding that was finished down to the smallest detail.
With around sixty guests, we mainly wanted a warm, cosy and intimate celebration, without compromising on class or style. De Pastorie proved to be the perfect venue for this. The beautiful, spacious garden provided the setting for our aperitifs, with live music in the background, delicious bites and an atmosphere that was exactly as we had imagined it.
Anyone who has ever organised a wedding will undoubtedly know the thousand and one questions that run through your mind beforehand. Will everything go well? Will our guests be happy? Will the drinks be topped up in time? Will the bites and dishes follow one another smoothly?
Well, on our wedding day, all those worries disappeared like snow in the sun.
What we experienced that day was truly a perfectly oiled machine. Everything went so naturally, smoothly and professionally that at no point did we feel anything was going wrong. And that may well be the greatest achievement of an excellent team: as host, you don’t even notice how much work is being done behind the scenes.
A small anecdote that says a lot to me personally about their professionalism: for the main course, numerous side dishes were provided, with different vegetables and garnishes. When I saw how much had to be brought to the table, I briefly wondered: how will they manage to serve it all at the same time and keep it warm?
Well, I needn’t have worried at all. Everything arrived at the table perfectly hot, beautifully presented and at just the right moment. How they manage to pull that off as a team remains a small wonder to me. It says everything about their organisation and attention to detail.
But what makes De Pastorie truly special goes beyond the beautiful venue, the delicious food or the flawless service. It’s the human side. You can tell in everything that Antoine, his wife and their staff don’t see this as just a job. These are people who know their trade, take pride in it and give it their heart and soul.
That day, we didn’t just have a fantastic wedding celebration, we were also able to enjoy it to the full ourselves. Without stress, without worries, without constantly having to check whether everything was going well. Just enjoying each other, our family, our friends and an unforgettable day.
To Antoine, his wife and the entire team: a heartfelt and very big thank you. You didn’t just give us a celebration, but a memory we will cherish for the rest of our lives.
To everyone who wants to organise a wedding, anniversary, family celebration or another special occasion: we can wholeheartedly recommend De Pastorie in Leke.
There are many beautiful event venues, but combining a stunning venue with such professionalism, warmth and flawless organisation? You don’t find that everywhere.
For us, De Pastorie deserves not just five stars, but a very big round of applause for the entire team.
Thank you for making our most beautiful day even more beautiful! ❤️

Hospitality is key!

We enjoyed the party immensely and both the location and the service, food and drinks were magnificent. Everyone was very satisfied! The weather gods were kind to us, which of course is an added bonus.

Perfect team day at a beautiful location

We recently organized a team day at this beautiful location where old and modern elements come together seamlessly. The historic architecture and modern interior created an attractive and inviting environment.
The catering was excellent. We started the day with a delicious breakfast and asked for a simple, light meal in the afternoon. We had an excellent lunch, including some delicious tacos.
From start to finish we were well attended and received kindly. This location is highly recommended for a successful team day.

A Heavenly Experience at Pastorie Leke!

Our recent event at Pastorie Leke was nothing short of an epic rollercoaster ride of delight! From start to finish we were pampered, and honestly, we felt like the kings and queens of Leke.
First let's talk about the location itself. It's like stepping into a time machine that takes you to an authentic, yet stylish world. They have found the perfect balance between old and new, and the result is simply breathtaking. Our guests were amazed when they arrived - and honestly, so were we!
And then there was the food, provided by none other than Newport Foodies. Let's just say we all packed on a few extra pounds, but it was totally worth it! Every dish was like a work of art for our taste buds. We have never heard so many "mmm's" and "wow's" during a meal. All credit to the chefs!
The events team, led by the tireless Antoine, was like a well-oiled machine. They went out of their way to make sure we didn't have to worry about the details. We could just relax and enjoy, knowing that everything went smoothly.
And let's not forget that Pastorie Leke and Newport Foodies worked together like a well-oiled duo. The collaboration was so seamless that our event went off without a hitch. It was like a perfectly performed symphony.
In short, we cannot recommend Pastorie Leke and Antoine enough. Our guests were impressed, and so were we. If you're looking for the perfect location for your next event, look no further. This is the place to be.
