Basiliek Veenendaal

What Basiliek Veenendaal does

Basiliek Veenendaal is a privately held Dutch event venue operator registered as Basiliek Veenendaal BV (KvK 58653678) and led by owner Harm Hardeman and commercial director Ferry Gerritsen. Founded in 2015 and headquartered at Wiltonstraat 56 in Veenendaal next to the A12 highway, the company runs a 1,420-seat main hall (De Grote Zaal), a 225-seat secondary hall (De Kleine Zaal), a foyer, café, forum, three meeting rooms, two recording studios under the De Studios sub-brand, and a sister venue called Downtown in the Veenendaal city center, accommodating groups from 3 to 1,500 persons. Its core offering combines venue rental, professional audio/video/lighting production, livestreaming, music and podcast recording, and hosted concerts, conferences, trade shows, and teambuilding workshops for corporate, music, trade-show, cultural, and content-creator clients.

The technology stack is physical and integration-oriented rather than software-defined: professional A/V/L rigs, two recording studios with in-house producer Ralph van Manen, a livestream studio with native Teams/Meet/Zoom/Skype integration, and the Rentman and YOB administrative tools for booking and scheduling. Revenue is generated through four streams: one-time venue rental, professional studio services, ticket and fee revenue from self-hosted events, and corporate teambuilding workshops, all priced on a custom quote basis. Distribution is direct-to-customer via website inquiry, phone (0318-209700), and walk-in, supplemented by organic social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn) and active event programming that demonstrates capabilities and drives repeat bookings. The company holds no external funding, has 15 employees, and is GDPR/AVG compliant.
