Wedding car hire in Groningen

Getting married in the city of Groningen

Groningen is a lively city with a historic centre around the Grote Markt. The Martinitoren towers above everything, and the neoclassical town hall stands on the market square. The Prinsenhof with its hidden garden, the Noorderplantsoen and the colourful buildings of the Groninger Museum near the station are also well-known spots for wedding photos.

The inner city is largely traffic-restricted. That makes the centre pleasant to walk around, but it calls for a good plan when you have a wedding car. Agree a drop-off point with the rental company on the edge of the inner city and walk the last stretch to the town hall or the church together.

Routes from the city into the Groningen countryside

If you get married in the city, the Groningen countryside is right on your doorstep. The province has an atmosphere of its own, with borgen, wierden and wide open skies. A drive out of town completes your wedding day.

The Ommelander borgen

Groningen is known for its borgen: old manor houses with a moat and gardens. The Menkemaborg in Uithuizen and the Fraeylemaborg in Slochteren are the best known. A classic car suits a borg perfectly, with its feeling of calm and tradition, and the surrounding gardens offer plenty of opportunities for photos.

Wierden, village churches and the open countryside

In the north of the province there are villages built on wierden (raised dwelling mounds), often with an old church at the highest point. The landscape is open, with long roads and wide skies. A convertible or an American classic is a relaxed ride here, and the sense of space gives your photos a special atmosphere.

Route and timing for your wedding car in Groningen

Distances in the province are greater than in the Randstad, so allow for travel time between the city, the borg and your reception when planning. Take a look at the wedding cars in Groningen to find rental companies that drive in the region. Some come from Drenthe or Friesland, and you will see this in the quote.

The classic wedding cars look most beautiful at the borgen. If you would rather have something modern and sleek, at the Groninger Museum for example, the sporty wedding cars are a good choice.

Bear the season in mind when planning a trip to the borgen. In spring and summer the gardens are at their best, and in autumn the old trees give warm colours. In winter the days are short, so it is wise to plan your photos for the early afternoon.
