Travel

Getting to Amsterdam from Schipol Airport is easy via train. The station is literally located beneath the airport's main hall, and trains run between Amsterdam Central Station and Schiphol 8 times per hour.
You can also get an Uber from the airport by following the signs "App Pick-up Point".The West-Indisch Huis is just a short walk away from Amsterdam Centraal Station (10 min walk).The nearest bus stop is Buiten Brouwersstraat (bus 18 and bus 21).

Accomodation

Please book your accommodation on time, as Amsterdam has limited inventory! We negotiated some prices and blocks with some hotels; please contact us if you need this.For the adventurous ones, you can sleep on a houseboat nearby, available via Airbnb.We have started a list of airbnbs you could stay at, if you prefer. They are either for 2 or 4 guests (some of them include baby cots), and are located around the wedding location or in our neighborhood.

Dress code

As we hope for great weather, think colourful and summer vibes. Feel free to dress up; we love a nice suit and a pretty dress!

noordermarkt

Every Saturday, most of the Amsterdamers go to this market. You can find biological veggies, colorful flowers, vintage clothes, antiquities, delicious lunch options, and so much more. Everyone look forward to the weekend just to go to that market... and complains when it's too busy. Strolling there is an experience on its own!

museums

If you're in for a treat if you like a cultural visit,! Visit the Van Gogh museum for an immersion into the life of one of the greatest; the Stedelijk (a personal favorite of Mel) is full of modern art icons; the FOAM or Huis Marseille host great photo exhibitions; and of course, visiting Anne Frank's house is now more important than ever.

Can I bring a plus one?

As we have a small location and a surprise with limited capacity planned, everyone is invited individually. If you have any doubts, please contact us.

Can I bring children?

We love kids, but this will be a grown-up party. The venue and activities would be hard to do with kids, and we want you to be fully able to enjoy the moment and company.

Us in a nutshell

Meeting each other was fate... or was it?

Both of us had the same friends, worked at the same company (RIP TravelBird), looked like a Wish version of Harry and Meghan, were each other's type...

But little birdies told us NOT to get involved. So we listened. For like 3 hours. Then we created this masterpiece and the rest is history.
