The summer is coming to an end and autumn is just around the corner. The perfect time to plan an end-of-year event. A meeting where you look back, look ahead and make memories. Bilderberg's inspiring castle locations are the starting point for an unforgettable get-together. The grandeur, the feeling of stepping into another time, a château is the perfect starting point for an enchanting end-of-year event.
Settle down in the picturesque Limburg hill country at Kasteel Vaalsbroek or Chateau Holtmuhle in the Maasvallei. Or choose the historic Kasteel Doorwerth near Arnhem in Gelderland. All historic locations with their own character and experience, where impressive end-of-year events take place every year. But how do you make this event extra memorable? We asked Marije Karsten, Sales Manager Events at Bilderberg.
Translating a client's wishes into a fitting and surprising event starts with listening carefully to the wishes and goals’ says Marije. What feeling do you want to give your guests? When is an event successful? The goal of the meeting is our starting point.
Marije: 'By adding the right elements, a castle event becomes truly magical. Beautiful lit trees along the driveway, flickering braziers for a warm welcome, a musician playing warm tones of music. The first impression and experience are decisive. It has to be spot on. We go to extremes for a WOW effect.'
Kasteel Vaalsbroek is situated on an 18-hectare estate close to the Drielandenpunt, Maastricht and Aachen. Surrounded by the countryside, here it feels like abroad. Another special Bilderberg location is Kasteel Doorwerth in Gelderland with its characteristic moat. Entering the courtyard of this fairytale castle via the drawbridge gives you an immediate sense of majesty. About the romantic Château Holtmühle in the Limburg Maasvellei, Marije says. ‘A relaxed stay in a medieval setting, but with modern facilities, convenience and comfort.’
To conclude, Marije says: 'Each castle has its own story, charm and endless possibilities for a splendid end-of-year party. I am proud that our clients regularly return for a tailor-made experience.
