Buitenplaats Vlaardingen

What Buitenplaats Vlaardingen does

Buitenplaats Vlaardingen is a private Dutch event venue operated by Evenman Faciliteiten B.V. (KvK 27122277) from an authentic converted gentleman farmhouse (herenboerderij) on 3.5 hectares of land in the Midden-Delfland nature reserve of South Holland, between Rotterdam, The Hague, and Delft. The site comprises six indoor and outdoor event spaces (Glazen Hooiberg, Rieten Hooiberg, De Stal, Aluhal, a 400m² stretch tent in a private forest, and an orchard) and can host groups from 15 to 1,500 persons. The venue operates exclusively on a reservation basis and does not function as a walk-in restaurant; all bookings bundle venue rental with mandatory catering and hospitality services.

The company generates revenue through four integrated streams: per-event venue rental (€140-€695 per half-day), per-person meeting and catering packages (€14.50-€41.50 per person), over 35 outdoor teambuilding activities and structured team training programs (from €450 per workshop to €3,950 for full-value training), and a seasonal Winter Wonderland product. Go-to-market is direct sales via website quote requests, phone, and a dedicated project manager for 150+ person corporate events. Distribution channels include local SEO targeting the Rotterdam-The Hague-Delft-Schiedam-Westland corridor, Instagram and Facebook organic social, Mailchimp email newsletters, and the IDEA Certified Agency designation for enterprise procurement credibility.

The technology stack is entirely SaaS-based and includes MICE Operations (ISO 27001:2022 certified) for booking and invoicing, Mailchimp for email marketing, Google Workspace, Google Analytics, and Canva. There is no proprietary technology platform. Customer segments span corporate business events (primary), private celebrations, funeral services, and schools. The business has operated for over 30 years under stable private ownership, with no disclosed external funding, M&A, or expansion beyond the single Dutch venue site.
