As the venue states it on its own site, checked on 13 November 2026. A dash means the site does not say. An editorial selection: no venue pays to be listed. Capacity and terms change, so always check with the venue.

West Flanders has clearly distinct regions. Around Bruges and in the polders towards Damme and Zuienkerke you find castles, farmhouses and historic buildings. On the coast, from Knokke-Heist to De Panne, event halls are often on or close to the seafront. The Westhoek, around Ypres, Poperinge, Heuvelland and Veurne, is more rural and small-scale. In the south, around Kortrijk, Roeselare and Waregem, there are many classic event halls with their own kitchen.

The civil ceremony takes place in the municipality where one of you lives. If the town hall and the venue are in different regions, your guests can spend quite some time in the car. Plan the day early and decide how much time you leave between the ceremony and the reception. If you want a symbolic ceremony at the venue itself, ask about it straight away: not every venue offers it.

If guests come from far away, think about where they will sleep. Some venues have their own rooms, others refer to hotels nearby. On the coast, hotels fill up quickly in summer. Bruges, Ostend, Kortrijk, Roeselare, Ypres and Poperinge have a railway station and the Coast Tram runs along the seaside, but many rural venues are only easy to reach by car.

How to choose

Count your guests per moment first: who comes to the reception, who stays for dinner. A venue for 200 at a reception is not always a venue for 200 at the table. Then ask how the venue handles catering, how late music may play and what the hire price includes. The overview page lists what to look for and which questions to ask on a visit.

Questions

Which venues do their own catering?

Kasteel van Moerkerke, Calypso, De Reygaerd, De Lissewal, 't Katelijnenhof and Ter Torre cook themselves. Site Oud Sint-Jan works with a fixed in-house caterer. At D'Hofstee, Skindles and Hostellerie Kemmelberg you choose your own caterer. Kemmelberg also offers its own catering, and Domein Walbrugge lets you choose between your own caterer and their home-made options.

Where can we stay overnight after the party?

These venues have rooms on site: Van der Valk Hotel Brugge-Oostkamp, D'Hofstee, Hostellerie Kemmelberg (22 rooms), Skindles (guesthouse for 24 people), De Lissewal (6 rooms and a bridal suite) and Domein Walbrugge (5 B&B rooms).

How do we choose between these venues?

Start with the number of guests at the table. For large weddings, De Lissewal (300 seated), Site Oud Sint-Jan (275), Kasteel van Moerkerke (200) and Ter Torre (180) offer the most seats. For a smaller party, Domein Walbrugge (60) and D'Hofstee (80) fit well. If you also want to hold the ceremony at the venue, Kasteel van Moerkerke and Domein Walbrugge mention that option themselves.

Compare your venues side by side.

In Ringske you put venues, photographers and caterers side by side: quotes and contracts, stars from both of you, and what is or is not included.
