Is a wood-fired oven safe on a wooded plot in Bonheiden?

Yes, with the right spot. We put the oven on an open, bare zone with no branches above and keep pine needles and dry wood at a distance. In an exceptionally dry period we discuss the set-up extra beforehand and follow whatever the municipality asks at the time.

Will your vehicle get along a narrow forest track?

Usually, but we want to be sure. Send us the address and, if possible, a photo of the access and the drive. If it really is too tight, we look at an alternative unloading point nearer the road and carry the equipment the last stretch.

We’re marrying with sixty guests. Isn’t that too small?

Not at all. We set no lower limit on guest numbers, and a smaller wedding is actually served beautifully from one oven. We tune the package and the amount of dough to your guest list.

Can you set up on a meadow by the Dyle?

If we can find a level and sufficiently dry patch, certainly. Meadows by the river are sometimes boggy after rain; we then choose a higher part or a paved strip by the farm. Photos of the land and the approach help us judge that in advance.

Pizza catering for your wedding in Bonheiden

Couples marrying in Bonheiden often choose a garden that merges into woodland or an estate on the edge of the Dyle valley. Pizza catering with a wood-fired oven suits such a natural setting: an open fire among the trees, and a party that feels intimate rather than grand.

Fire among the pines

Pine needles and dry summers call for respect around fire. We choose an open, bare spot for the oven and keep an eye on the surroundings.

Narrow tracks

Wooded lanes in Bonheiden and Rijmenam are sometimes narrow and unpaved. We scout the approach beforehand, so our vehicle gets there without trouble.

Intimate or extensive

A wedding with forty guests gets the same care as one with a hundred and twenty. The package grows with your guest list.

A wedding party among the pines

Bonheiden is one of those municipalities where villas lie hidden among Scots pines and oaks, on plots that are more forest than garden. For a wedding that provides a backdrop many reception halls would envy: light falling between the trunks, moss underfoot and a stillness in which you can really hear the speeches. A wood-fired oven slots in seamlessly.

Even so, fire in a wooded setting calls for care. In a dry summer there are pine needles and withered twigs about, and we keep those well away from the oven. Together we look for an open stretch without overhanging crowns, on ground level enough for the tent. If you are unsure about the best spot, send us a few photos, preferably taken in daylight.

The Dyle valley near Rijmenam

In Rijmenam the landscape is more open. Along the Dyle, meadows, rows of poplars and old farmsteads alternate, which attracts couples who want a rural party. A farmyard or a meadow gives room for a large tent, long tables and an oven visible from everywhere. The sunset above the valley does the rest.

A meadow by the river is often damp, though, especially in spring. For the oven and the tent we then look for a higher, drier part of the land or a paved strip by the farm. Also tell us whether the approach runs along a field track; we then plan the route in advance, so nobody gets stuck in the mud on the wedding day.

A menu for a human-scale celebration

Many weddings in Bonheiden have a smaller guest list than the classic hall party. That leaves room for a menu that feels personal. Begin with the Aperitivo, where focaccia straight from the fire sits beside bruschetta and Italian antipasti. The pizzas then go round in changing flavours, and anyone wanting to round off the evening completely adds tiramisu and cannoli.

Because we work on a private estate without venue staff, we bring everything needed and leave only when our corner is tidy again. Our crew turns up roughly ninety minutes before your guests to light the fire. That lets the ceremony run over without worry: when you arrive, the oven is ready and the first bread is already golden brown.

Een tijdje terug hebben we gekozen voor Prestigio voor ons reisevent. Wat een topcatering! Zeer leuk aangekleed tentje, vriendelijke bediening en wat een heerlijke pizza’s,…de zuurdesemdeeg was verrukkelijk en gezond. We waanden ons in…
