Who says De Hoorn, says Stella Artois. Our national pride, brewed in small, big Leuven. De Hoorn Brewery has existed since 1923 , where the first Stella Artois was brewed, tapped and drunk.


After being vacant for 30 years, De Hoorn was transformed in 2008creative hub and one-stop-shop for events, catering and co-working. Today it is no longer bubbling with yeast, but with creativity!

Our wedding... which was supposed to be a beautiful day, but turned into a series of disappointments.

Our wedding party at De Hoorn was unfortunately one big disappointment due to a series of organizational errors, substandard service, poor catering and poor communication.
Things went wrong right from the start: several agreed-upon details weren't met (no music, technical support unavailable, certain drinks unavailable, personalized items lost). This forced us to improvise on the spot, which caused unnecessary stress.
During the reception and dinner, the lack of service was particularly noticeable. Drinks were barely passed around, guests had to find their own staff, and wine was rarely, if ever, refilled. The quality of the food was subpar, and some dishes were poorly prepared. Furthermore, allergies reported in advance were not taken into account.
The catering also left much to be desired: tapas platters were poorly replenished, there was too little food, and some dishes didn't match what had been agreed upon. The quality of the prawns was disappointing, and the midnight snack was given to the band without consultation instead of at the bar for the guests.
What bothered us most personally was that we, as the couple, were repeatedly confronted with problems that should have been resolved internally. At a time when we should be enjoying ourselves, I was confronted with practical and even internal problems. That shouldn't be the case at your own wedding.
What made all of this even more painful was the communication afterward. I expressed our feelings calmly and honestly, hoping for understanding, an apology, and a human response. None came. On the contrary: the communication was cold, distant, and completely lacking in empathy. Ultimately, it even escalated to communication through a lawyer at my side. That says it all. Instead of taking responsibility or trying to understand the impact this experience had on us, everything was approached from a legal perspective.
For a wedding, you expect professionalism, discretion, and quality. Unfortunately, we didn't experience that here. We look back with bitterness on a day that should have been carefree, something that still saddens me to this day.

Feedback from De Hoorn on this review:

We're truly sorry that your wedding day didn't go as planned and that you look back on it with negative feelings. A wedding is a special moment, and it was never our intention to add any stress to such an important day.

At De Hoorn, we stand for hospitality: caring for our guests and fully dedicating ourselves to every event. Our team embodies this spirit and always goes above and beyond to ensure everyone has a wonderful experience. We're very sorry that you didn't feel this way.

After the party, we took your feedback seriously. We discussed it internally for further follow-up. We responded with a comprehensive answer, apologized, and proposed a commercial compensation. This proposal was further increased after consultation and accepted by both parties.

While we regret that this review gives a one-sided view of the entire process and the efforts made, we respect your feelings. We wish you all the best for the future and hope that the beautiful moments of that day will ultimately prevail.
