ACCOMMODATION

If you need any help with organising accommodation in Brussels, or would like recommendations for anything on the scale from a cushy hotel suite to a sofa at a friend’s house, just let us know!
We recommend to stay on the south-west side of town for transport ease if possible.

HELPING HANDS

If you haven’t caught on to it already, this wedding is pretty self-organised. If you have time and energy on Friday or Sunday afternoon and want to give a hand we would be very happy to have you around for the build up or the build down ♡

(To mention some nice locations on this side of town: The Scott Hotel is a
good option, Hotel Neufchatel
is small but nice, Jam Hotel
has family rooms etc.)
