Get married in a windmill!

If the Wed n Walk doesn't suit your fancy, why not get married in the only windmill in Amsterdam still open to the public?

The Sloten Windmill at Akersluis 10 is one of eight Amsterdam windmills and is a tower mill from 1847. The polder draining mill, which is still functioning, can be visited daily from 10 in the morning. Voluntary workers provide the guided tour (the last tour starts at 4:30 pm) and when possible, the miller shows how he turns the mill cap so that the vanes face the wind, how he lets the vanes rotate and how he puts the sails in the vanes.

There is also a Coopery craft Museum and as the Sloten Mill has been designated a house of the municipality, it is possible to arrange a marriage on site. Romantic!

Hey! My friends got married there last year!

It was a fantastic day and the venue is great for a small to medium wedding. The view from the mill is wonderful. There are some photos on the blog entry I posted above. It's certainly a nice place to see, even if you're not getting married.
