Frequently asked questions about hosting a garden party

Need help?

Is your question not listed here? Feel free to contact us. Our team will be happy to help you find the perfect garden party.
Actually only three things: a garden, people and booze. The rest is optional. Anyway, if you want to impress: provide some mood lighting (lanterns work wonders), a barbecue or appetizers, and music just loud enough to make the neighbors curious but not angry.
Invite them over. Works surprisingly well. Give them a snack, a drink and a dance, and before you know it they will ask you to hold the next edition in their garden. If that doesn't work: keep the volume control in mind - and don't start karaoke before 10 p.m. (or do, if you want to subtly scare them away).
Anything works, as long as it doesn't feel like "meeting with appetizers." Popular choices: summer festival, boho-chic, Dutch coziness, tropical paradise or just "anything with cocktails." And for creative minds: a foul BBQ, glow in the dark party or garden cinema with beanbags.
No ya, this is a garden party, not a state banquet. A few chairs, some rugs and crates (the multipurpose heroes of any garden party) work wonders. And honestly: once the music comes on, no one stands still anyway.
Provide something unexpected. A game, a karaoke corner, a mini-quiz or someone who suddenly starts a polonaise. And of course: good music, plenty of booze, and at least one colleague or family member who gets a little too carried away.
INSPIRATION

Organize garden party at various locations throughout the Netherlands

Ah, the archetypal Dutch dream: sunshine, coziness, a drink in hand and a garden full of smiling people. But yes, this is the Netherlands - so the chances of the weather sticking neatly to your schedule are about as likely as the printer in the office doing it all at once. Still, of course, we don't let that stop us. A little Dutchman knows: a party tent, some drinks and good company will get you a long way. You can organize a garden party anywhere in the Netherlands, as long as there is some sort of grass, sidewalk or makeshift seating. In Amsterdam, go big with a city garden full of lights, lounge cushions and trendy snacks (which are really just bitterballen with a new sauce). In Rotterdam, turn an industrial outdoor space into an urban paradise with pallets, music and beers that are just not cold enough. In Utrecht, you turn an indoor garden into a mini-festival, complete with lanterns, a barbecue and colleagues who suddenly have dance moves you still need to recover from. Further south, in Eindhoven or Maastricht, it's all about atmosphere, conviviality and good food - lots of good food. There, a garden party is not seen as just another drink, but as a serious life event with baguettes, wine and at least one family member who thinks he's a DJ. And in the far north, in Groningen or Leeuwarden, they prove that partying is fine even in wind force six, as long as the tent is sturdy enough and the drinks don't blow over.

 

Anything goes

The beauty of a garden party? Anything goes. Whether you go for a fancy dinner under the stars, a sultry summer party with cocktails, or a crazy theme party where everyone dresses up as garden furniture - it's all possible. Add a barbecue, some atmospheric lighting and a good playlist, and you have a recipe for guaranteed fun. Besides, it's the way to discover who your real friends are: the ones who keep helping when it suddenly starts pouring, not the ones who take shelter under the party tent with their wine as if they were made of sugar.

Anything goes

The coziest garden party in the Netherlands

In short: from The Hague to Zwolle, from Nijmegen to Alkmaar - in every city or village you can turn your garden into a party location that even the neighbors can't complain about (well, not too much then). With the right mix of music, food, humor and a touch of chaos, your garden party will become so legendary that next year people will still be talking about "that one night with the barbecue, the polonaise and that mysterious disappearance of the fruit salad." So: get the lanterns out of the attic, polish up the barbecue, and get that cooler ready. The weather will do what it wants, but you'll just organize the coziest garden party in the Netherlands.
