Party in Broek in Waterland

Birthday, anniversary, promotion. Or just because it's Tuesday.

Celebrating in the House of the village

It's your party. And you can cry if you want to.

In Het Broeker Huis you celebrate everything that matters. Your fiftieth birthday that spins out of control. A farewell in silence. An anniversary with speeches that run too long and tears that won't stop. Or just a drink, because why not?

Our heritage building in Broek in Waterland, fifteen minutes from Amsterdam, is no conference centre. No hotel ballroom. Nothing over the top. It's a House. With floor boards that creak and stories in the walls. A courtyard with trees and the easy-going feel of a community center. With us, you celebrate in style without having to show off.

Our food is seasonal, honest & kissed by open fire. Monumental halls and a Courtyard. No fixed packages or must-do's. From toasts to tears — and everything in between.

What kind of party will it be?

Anything goes. Well, almost anything.
