Wedding car hire in Barneveld

Barneveld: getting married where the Vallei meets the Veluwe

Barneveld lies exactly where the Gelderse Vallei turns into the Veluwe. On one side you have open meadows and farms, on the other woods and heathland. The village centre with the Oude Kerk has a relaxed, friendly feel, and the municipality includes villages such as Voorthuizen, Garderen and Kootwijkerbroek, each with its own character.

A well-known landmark is Kasteel De Schaffelaar, a country house in a park on the edge of the centre. The park, with its old trees and pond, is a peaceful setting for photos. Barneveld is also known for its poultry-farming history, which you can see for yourself in the Pluimveemuseum.

The right wedding car for a countryside wedding

Barneveld and the villages around it are rural, and you can see that in the wedding venues: farms, barns, country estates and village halls. So the car should above all suit that relaxed atmosphere.

Classic cars on country lanes

The roads around Barneveld are quiet and rural. That makes the area ideal for a classic car that doesn't need to go fast: a leisurely drive past meadows and farms, with the woods of the Veluwe in the background. A Volkswagen camper van or a Beetle suits a laid-back wedding in a barn or at a farm venue.

Woods and heathland nearby

Towards Garderen and Kootwijk the landscape becomes more wooded, and further on you reach the Kootwijkerzand, a large area of drifting sand. A drive through the woods to a sandy plain gives you very different pictures from green meadows. Leave the car on a paved spot, because the sand is no place for low cars.
