De Wiemel | Restaurant en trouwlocatie — Restaurant in Aa en Hunze

We booked this place as our wedding location 7 months upfront. In the beginning, it was promised to us that they can take care of everything including extra decorations. We were happy to get this location since it is well known and famous place to have wedding and since we live abroad we wanted to make sure everything would go smoothly. Also my husband had a good experience with the food in their restaurant. In June, my husband contacted the location via email about organizational stuff - if we can meet the week we are available in NL, etc. We didn't receive any response. He sent the message again, but still no change. Eventually, not even 1 week before wedding, my husband's family got contacted by location that they should choose what kind of dinner we want to have on wedding. Deadline for decision was until the next day morning. It was weird for us they asked it because we already told them what we want 7 months upfront. When my husband finally received message from the location via WhatsApp what we want, we named all stuff again and we didn't forget to mention that we were trying to contact them, but nobody responded in June. Again, no response from their side on WhatsApp if they noted the information about meals or not and we still had no idea when to meet them in person before wedding. Again, my husband's family got a message from the location with the announcement that we can stop by 3 days before the wedding at 3 o'clock. When we arrived, the lady wasn't there so other employees had to contact her to come. After 30 minutes finally our lady showed up with no apology about her being late. She showed us the place very fast that we had to run after her. When we asked about the car bringing us to the location that supposed to be arranged by her - we called the driver there on the spot. So my husband convinced her to call about the car actually. Then I asked about decorations and she said it's going to be what I can see now - broken candles, ugly dried flowers fitting for a funeral and that was it. If we want something else, we can arrange it by ourselves. So I asked about bowties and they had only few of them for ceremony, but not for dinner inside. Then I asked about white table cloths and if it is possible to provide them at least - how nice of her, she could do that so we were honored with white table cloths. So with all that stress and rush we had to arrange our own decoration to make that place look like wedding place and not a funeral. During the party, our lady was annoyed, she was rolling her eyes like we were bothering her. She also took pictures of us without our permission. And she removed table cloths when the party began and didn't ask us if it's okay or not. She didn't communicate with any of us. My husband talked to her and praised their meals so they wouldn't spit into our food, because with people like her you never know. Also wedding ended at 12:30 however there was talk that if people have fun it can be prolonged. Well, it didn't happen and again without any communication they started to pack everything. And also, even before the end they told my husband that drink he ordered is his last and there won't be more. On top of everything, they created an invoice with an incorrect payment date and also incorrect content, in which they asked money for group picture which she made without our permission. So, to finally make conclusion - DJ was great, I really recommend him because his communication and work was perfect. Food was delicious. But, don't have wedding or any other event there because it's possible you might be treated like trash. That lady is incompetent and unprofessional and she has poor communication and...

Als je een bruiloft wil zonder negatieve nasmaak, ga dan NIET naar de Wiemel.

Eind vorig jaar hebben wij een afspraak gemaakt bij de Wiemel om onze bruiloft te gaan plannen. Dit leek allemaal heel goed en er was een duidelijk vast tarief voor daggasten en avondgasten.

Toen onze grote dag was, waren er overdag al een aantal dingen wat wij niet vonden kunnen: Koffiemelk wat zuur was ⁠3 gasten moesten meer dan een kwartier langer op hun desserts wachten dan de rest, de rest had het uiteindelijk al op voordat de dessert geserveerd werden ⁠Notenallergie van de bruid werd niet serieus genomen, bij het toetje lag het bord vol amandelen ⁠Het was 30 graden, maar er mochten geen extra tafels naar buiten waardoor een deel van de gasten niet buiten kon zitten ⁠Er werden alleen nootjes binnen op tafel gezet en niet buiten, terwijl bijna iedereen buiten zat ⁠Er werden alleen hapjes geserveerd bij de eerste 2 tafels buiten, de rest kreeg niks (pas toen we hier boos om werden kon het ineens wel) ⁠Bepaald drinken was tijdens het feest ineens op en werd niet bijgevuld ⁠We hadden er een late night snack bijgeboekt, die werd aan meer dan de helft van de gasten niet geserveerd. ⁠Om precies 12 uur gingen de TL buizen aan en werd alles opgeruimd, terwijl alle gasten nog aanwezig waren.

Terwijl wij nog aanwezig waren op ons eigen feest, besloot Mieke dat er een extra factuur gestuurd moest worden. Deze kregen wij om 11 uur savonds toegestuurd. Toen wij netjes om uitleg vroegen, was ineens een daggast tot 20:00 uur en werd daarna een avondgast. We moesten dus voor al onze daggasten extra tarief betalen terwijl dit nooit afgesproken is. Toen wij hier netjes op antwoorden, werd Mieke ineens een ander persoon. Ze noemde ons onnozel, dom en beweerde dat wij geld achterover drukte. Wij vinden het echt belachelijk dat je als bedrijf dit soort uitspraken doet naar je klanten en zouden absoluut niemand aanraden om hier je...

+The large birthday cake topped with fresh fruit was awesome! -The borrelhapjes and the buffet food was was very plain. The coffee that was served at the end came from a thermos and wasn't even hot. +The setting is very cosy with attractive decorations. The terraces on different sides of the farmhouse are well maintained and nicely landscaped. -The steps at the back are irregular and covered with some worn red carpet. One of the toilets has the door handle falling off. Messy...
