Castle East – The Wedding Castle is open!
We have great news: our new wedding castle, Kasteel Oost – The Wedding Castle, has officially opened its doors! Starting this fall, you can not only visit our famous wedding palace, but also this fairytale castle in the heart of beautiful Valkenburg. Have you been dreaming of an unforgettable search for your dress in a real castle? Then that dream is now coming true!

A magical opening
In the presence of our Koonings team, the press and everyone who helped make this dream a reality, the golden ribbon was festively cut by Ramona Koonings and Mayor Daan Prevoo himself.
A dream come true
For Ramona, this was a moment full of emotion. Kasteel Oost is not just a wedding location; it is a piece of her heart. ‘I can’t imagine a more beautiful place than Valkenburg,’ Ramona told me with a tear of happiness. This iconic location, an ochre-yellow national monument that had been vacant for eight years, came on the market after an award process. That Ramona was able to realize this castle is the culmination of years of dreams, plans and hard work – not to mention, the work of all the professionals who made it possible.
An exclusive tour
After the official opening moment, Ramona herself took the guests on an exclusive tour of the renovated castle. Each room exudes character and history – the perfect setting to find your dream dress in peace and quiet. Although this is only the first phase (later we will also open the restaurant, hotel, beauty salon and the Orangery, among others), the castle already exudes the charm and elegance of a fairy-tale location.

A feast to remember
After the tour, a social drink was waiting in the castle, complete with snacks and drinks. This special moment gave the opportunity to toast the new adventure together.
