Wedding Car Hire in Goes

Getting married in Goes, the heart of Zuid-Beveland

Goes is a charming town with a historic centre around the Grote Markt. The town hall stands on the square, and the Grote Kerk, the Maria Magdalenakerk, rises above the rooftops. The old harbour, which runs via a canal to the Oosterschelde, gives the centre a maritime feel.

Goes is the largest town on Zuid-Beveland and the hub for the villages around it. Many couples come from those villages, marry in town and then celebrate in the countryside or by the water.

For a wedding day, Goes is compact and easy to navigate. The ceremony, photos and dinner can all be close together. And if you are looking for something special: the Stoomtrein Goes-Borsele steam train runs from Goes through the Zeeland countryside, a familiar sight for anyone who loves nostalgia.

Around Goes: orchards, dykes and a bridge

Goes lies in the middle of Zuid-Beveland, with water on almost every side. Within a short drive you can be at a dyke, an orchard or a small harbour, which gives you plenty of choice for photos.

Orchards and dykes

Zuid-Beveland is known for its fruit growing. In spring the orchards bloom white and pink, a beautiful backdrop for wedding photos. The dykes along the Oosterschelde and the Westerschelde offer sweeping views over the water.

The Zeelandbrug and the Oosterschelde

North of Goes lies the Oosterschelde, with the long Zeelandbrug between Noord-Beveland and Zierikzee. A drive across the bridge, with water on both sides, is an impressive route for a convertible or a classic car.

Drop-off point, route and rental companies in Goes

Zeeland is spread out and distances can add up. Discuss the route with the rental company beforehand, especially if the ceremony and the reception are on different islands. Take a look at the overview of wedding cars in Zeeland for rental companies that drive in the region.

For drives along the dykes, convertibles are a lovely choice, as long as the wind cooperates. Classic cars suit the historic town centre well. In your quote request, ask whether travel time to your location is included.

The centre of Goes is compact. Agree a drop-off point with the rental company at the Grote Markt or the harbour, so that you can walk the last stretch together. If your reception is on another island, discuss the route beforehand, because distances in Zeeland can be greater than they look on the map. Plan a photo stop along the way on a dyke with a view over the water.
