Getting married in Amsterdam?
Make it extra special and choose a wedding on a boat!

The characteristic boats are perfect as a wedding location for a group of up to 65 guests. Would you like the ceremony to take place on board? Then you must take an option on the desired day and time at the Department of Civil Affairs of the "Stadsdeel Centrum".

Let them know that you want to get married on one of the boats of Amsterdam Boats and discuss all the necessary details, such as the boarding location of the marriage officiant, with the Stadsdeel. Once you have finally reserved the specific boat, you must inform the municipality so that they can convert your option on the wedding date into a final booking.

Our example program below is just 3.5 hours, but can be tailored to your needs.

13.00 You and your guests will be received at the Hermitage with coffee and tea.

14.00 We will start the wedding ceremony with your vows under the Magere Brug.

15.00 After the ceremony, we will celebrate with a glass of Champagne and cutting of the wedding cake.

15.30 The reception will include drinks of your choice and a beautiful selection of cold and hot snacks.

16.30 The program can end at this point, or we can add additional hours of fun and celebration.
