Unforgettable Festive Events in The Hague: Your Guide to Planning the Perfect Gathering
Planning a festive gathering that leaves a lasting impression starts with choosing the right venue — one that combines atmosphere, sustainability, and a touch of magic. Whether you’re organizing a corporate celebration, a holiday dinner, or a private event with friends, The Hague offers unique spaces that elevate any occasion.
At voco® The Hague, we believe that events should be thoughtful, charming, and unstuffy — just like our brand. Nestled in the city’s Royal Quarter, our spaces blend historic character with modern flair, making them ideal for unforgettable festive moments.
Choose a Venue That Tells a Story
The setting of your event sets the tone. Look for venues that offer more than just four walls — think botanical gardens, historic vaults, and atriums under a tree.
At Botanica, our restaurant and event space, nature takes center stage. With a focus on local produce, Dutch culinary heritage, and a hidden garden, it’s perfect for group dinners and seasonal celebrations.
For a more adventurous vibe, Ultramarijn Wonderbar offers a steampunk-inspired cocktail bar experience. Host your gathering in the historic Below Deck vault or the bright Above Deck space, and let your guests embark on a flavorful journey with cocktails and European bistro-style dishes.
Tips for Planning a Memorable Festive Event
1. Start Early
Venues in The Hague fill up quickly during the festive season. Booking early ensures you get the space and date you want.
2. Think Sustainability
Sustainable choices matter. From locally sourced menus to eco-certified venues, your event can be both festive and planet-friendly. voco® The Hague proudly holds the Green Key GOLD certification, making it a top choice for sustainable events in The Hague.
3. Tailor the Experience
Add personal touches: custom menus, themed décor, or live music. Ultramarijn hosts bi-monthly live music nights, so we have good contacts to support you planning your event. Some venues also have partnerships with local Escape Room companies or unique experiences. Ask what the options are. Not everything should fall on you to plan – your venue can assist.
4. Consider Group Dining Options
Whether it’s a corporate dinner or a festive reunion, group dining should be seamless. Find a partner that can advise you and offer a space that can accommodate your whole group but does not feel too big either.
Why The Hague Is the Perfect Backdrop
The Hague combines city sophistication with coastal charm, making it ideal for festive events. From Prinsjesdag traditions to Delft Blue artistry, the city’s rich culture adds depth to any gathering. Plus, its central location makes it easily accessible for guests from across the Netherlands.
