Welcome Event

6:30 pm - 9:30 pm

Casual Attire

Join us for a pre-celebration evening with Olivia and Wim. We’ll gather from 6:30–9:30 PM at Castell Zaandam for a walking dinner, with a series of courses served as we move and mingle throughout the space. Castell is a cozy, local favorite known for its wood-fired grill and relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, making it a great setting for a social, informal evening together. Looking forward to good food, drinks, and celebrating ahead of the big event. Hope you can make it.
