Wedding Venues

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! ❤️

Beautiful wedding celebration!!

Four weeks before our wedding day, we were told by our original venue that our celebration could not go ahead there. PANIC!! Luckily, we found Tom and Marijke and their beautiful venue! They were willing to help us out of a bind and actively helped us work out how to get everything in order within four weeks. What heroes!! Communication was super smooth, and Tom and Marijke managed to make our big day even more beautiful than we could have wished for. The room was beautifully decorated and everything was in perfect order. It was an evening/night of carefree enjoyment for both the guests and us. A huge thank you!!

IDEWE on TOUR at Quartier Paier

An incredibly beautiful venue where a great deal is possible for both larger and smaller groups. The contacts were very professional and always worked with us to find the best solutions to our questions. A very pleasant collaboration and a highly successful event in a central and easily accessible location.

Excellent venue, excellent service, excellent food

For our team day, we chose Wolf as the venue for dinner, and it was a bullseye! Communication with Jasper was very smooth and pleasant. He dotted all the i’s. We had a separate room with our own bar, all to ourselves.
We also found the voucher system very convenient: this way, each team member could manage their own budget (hopefully they will soon work for online orders too).
Thanks to the various food stalls, everyone could choose what they fancied, and of course there was a lovely drink to go with it.
A really lovely evening for the whole team at a beautiful venue in Antwerp. We will definitely be back, the reservation has already been made! 😉
