From the moment you say “yes” to the big day, I’ll be by your side every step of the way, ensuring your wedding is seamless, stress-free, and uniquely yours.

Why choose Amsterdam for your wedding?
Amsterdam is a city of romance, culture, and beauty. Perfect for couples looking for a destination wedding with a touch of European charm. The city offers a unique blend of historic venues, picturesque canals, and modern flair, making it the ideal backdrop for your dream wedding.
Accessibility for international guests
Amsterdam is a highly accessible city with direct flights from all over the world. It’s easy for your guests to travel to, making it a convenient choice for your international loved ones. Plus, Amsterdam’s public transportation system is reliable and easy to navigate, ensuring your guests can get around the city with ease.
Additionally, the Netherlands may be small, but that’s what makes it so wonderfully accessible. With the entire country within reach in a maximum of 2.5 hours, you have endless options for venues. Whether you’re envisioning a wedding in one of the vibrant cities or a more secluded celebration in a remote castle or countryside estate, everything is just a short drive away. This makes it easy for your guests to experience the best of the Netherlands, no matter where your wedding takes place. From rolling green fields to historical landmarks, the possibilities are endless!
From intimate canalside venues to grand historic estates, Amsterdam has a variety of wedding locations for every style.
Unique wedding experiences in Amsterdam
Beyond the ceremony, Amsterdam offers a host of memorable experiences for you and your guests. Whether you’re looking for an intimate setting or an adventurous celebration, Amsterdam has it all.
Boat tours & canal cruises
Imagine saying “I do” aboard a private boat as you cruise along Amsterdam’s famous canals. It’s a truly unique and romantic experience.
Cultural touches
Incorporate Amsterdam’s rich culture into your wedding day, perhaps with a custom canal-side photo shoot or a Dutch-inspired menu that highlights local delicacies like Dutch cheese and the famous Bitterballen.
Post-wedding activities
After the wedding, there’s so much to explore in Amsterdam. From private tours of the Rijksmuseum to a group bike ride through the city, I’ll help organize experiences that make your wedding a mini-vacation for your guests.

“We got married in July 2023, and one of the best decisions we made for our wedding was choosing to work with Enyo as our wedding planner and stylist. She has impeccable taste and style, a network of world class vendors, and took care of every single logistical detail so that our wedding weekend could run smoothly and flawlessly. And she does it all with the warmest, most positive energy. Enyo really took the time to get to know us as a couple, incorporating both our wishes and her own observations about us, to create a beautiful wedding styling plan and overall guest experience.
We had so many comments from our friends and family that this was the perfect wedding, not only because it was a lovely experience, but also because it felt like such an accurate representation of us as a couple. Enyo captured us and our vibe perfectly, which made us feel so seen and understood. She also connected us to the best vendors who really fit our budget, style, and energy. From our photographer(s), hair and make up artist, florist, to our DJ, everybody was clearly an expert in their field, and also just wonderful, good people. All of our vendors worked together seamlessly to create absolute magic for our wedding, led by the brilliant Enyo. Thank you again, Enyo, for bringing our wedding dreams to life!“
