21 & 22 june 2025 *

On June 21st, we’re taking love to the fast lane and say ‘I do’ in the most unexpected place - the A10 highway in Amsterdam!

This once-in-a-lifetime wedding is happening a bit faster then we anticipated thanks to Amsterdam’s 750th anniversary celebrations.

We originally entered the competition to win a wedding on the highway as a joke, never thinking we’d actually win and marry so soon — But here we are—turning a highway into a wedding aisle!

We’d love for you to join us on this unique and longest day of the year as we celebrate love, the city, and this incredible moment. After the public celebration on June 21st, we’ll continue the festivities in a more intimate setting on June 22nd.

Celebrate with us!

You are warmly invited to celebrate with us on both days, but please do not feel obligated to attend both—do what works best for you! ❤️

The celebration on June 21 is a large public event and may be somewhat harder to reach. Since the focus that day is mainly on the spectacle, we might have less time to speak to everyone personally.

On June 22, we will make plenty of time during a more intimate celebration, complete with good food, drinks, and dancing. We would love for you to be there, but please let us know how and when you plan to celebrate in your RSVP!

Agenda

  • 21st of June (Public celebration)

    On June 21, the ceremony will take place on the A10 near exit S108, close to the Olympic Stadium and VU University.

    GETTING DRESSED FROM 15:00

    We have booked a hotel room at the Stadionplein. This is where we will change clothes and then depart from here to the ring (highway). It’s nice if you’d like to join us in dressing up here and walk together to S108 (about 500 meters).

    Hotel: The July Stadionplein

    PUBLIC ACCESS WITH DAY TICKET FROM 15:00 (for everyone holding a ticket)

    Access to the ring is open to everyone with a ticket, allowing you to get close to the ceremony. We have about 100 tickets available for those interested. You can also request free tickets yourself via www.opdering.amsterdam/tickets

    THE CEREMONY
    17:30 - 18:10 (max 30 guests on stage – the rest can be in the public area)

    You can come close to the ceremony if you’re a in the public. However, the organization limits access, and only 30 people can attend on stage. These 30 seats are reserved for first-degree family members, witnesses, and the ceremony officiators.

    CAKE MOMENT
    18:10 - 18:30 (max 30 guests)

    From the organization, each couple will be offered a cake for the same 30 people attending the ceremony. It’s a quick moment because we want to enjoy some drinks with everyone who couldn’t attend on the stage together afterward.

    DRINKS AND SNACKS
    18:30 - 20:30 (30 ceremony guests plus other guests)

    We’ve reserved tables with drinks and snacks starting from 18:30 on the ring at ‘Aan Tafel op de Ring,’ close to the ceremony (about 50 meters away). We would love to toast and celebrate with everyone who wants to join, along with the 30 ceremony guests, in a lively setting with appetizers and drinks.

    PARTY ON THE A10
    20:30 - 22:00

    The celebration on the A10 continues until 10 PM. There will be various activities: dance floors, classical concert, folk singer stage, and much more — check the program here

    PARTY IN THE CITY
    22:00 - ???

    We’re excited, and the city is as well. There are plenty of parties throughout the city. Which ones and until what time we’ll confirm later. The wedding night will be fun, but eventually, the bride and groom might want to enjoy their wedding night a bit earlier and exit the highway together.

    DRESS CODE

    You’ll be walking a lot that day and later in the city, so comfortable shoes and appropriate clothing are advisable!

    ROUTE AND TRAFFIC

    Driving may be difficult as the rings west, south, and east are closed. All other roads, including north ring and roads inside and outside the ring, are expected to be congested.

    Taxis will likely encounter similar delays as other vehicles.

    Public Transport is nearby:
    - Metro: Amstelveenseweg Metro Station (Lines M50 and M51) 
    - Tram: VU Boelelaan Tram 24 
    - NS Station: Amsterdam Zuid

    The best option is probably cycling:
    Bikes can be parked at the bottom of the S108 entrance.

    On June 22, everything is much simpler. We are moving from the highway to an old Mercedes garage. The party starts at 4:00 PM at Studio Wieman, Papaverweg 14, Amsterdam Noord. We’ll have a DJ, tasty food, and a band to celebrate love in a festive way. Make sure you're ready for a party — and expect a hangover on Monday!

    DRESS CODE
    Casual Chic: chinos, a jacket, not too much — just dress as you like, probably warm weather.

    ROUTE AND TRAFFIC
    The ring road will partially open from 3:00 PM, so there may still be some congestion. Amsterdam Noord is more accessible throughout the weekend than other parts of the city. There’s plenty of parking nearby (€1.60 per hour).

    PROGRAM
    • From 4:00 PM – Studio Wieman, Papaverweg 14, Amsterdam Noord.
    • Around 5:00 – 6:00 PM – Space for a few words or speeches
    • From 6:00 PM – Walking dinner; you’re welcome to sit and dine.
    • Around 9:00 PM – Midnight – The DJ will turn up the energy for those who still want to dance.

This is the S108 with the wedding location (trouwen), cake moment (taartmoment) , and the location where the drinks will be. (aan tafel - 50 meters from the wedding location)

Arrival

If you’re coming from far, we recommend arriving before Friday, June 20th, 8 PM, as the highway will be closed from that time.
