We’ve planned a couple of fun activities so you can explore our favorite things in North Holland and still have plenty of time to relax, eat, and celebrate.

Thursday, August 6 — Bikes & a Cozy Night In

🚲 Biking in Schoorl (daytime)
We’ll spend the day cycling through the beautiful dunes and forests of Schoorl. Expect fresh air, sandy paths, and very scenic photo opportunities. Comfortable shoes recommended… and yes, we will stop for snacks.

🎲 Home Dinner & Game Night (evening)
In the evening, we’re staying in for a relaxed home-cooked dinner featuring grauwe erwten (a traditional Dutch pea dish). Add some games, good company, and a drink or two — perfect low-key wedding-week vibes.

Friday, August 7 — Cheese & Windmills

🧀 Alkmaar Cheese Market (daytime)
A true Dutch classic! We’ll visit the famous Alkmaar cheese market and watch the traditional cheese carriers in action.

🍽 Dinner at De Molenschuur (evening)
We’ll end the day with dinner at De Molenschuur, a cozy and charming spot for good food and great company.

Whether you’re here for biking, cheese, or just to hang out with us, we hope you’ll enjoy this little taste of North Holland as much as we do.

Think of it as a mini holiday… with a wedding bonus 💍
