A wonderful location in Leiden with different rooms and a pleasant courtyard. The staff was incredibly flexible: I initially booked for 14 people, then changed it to 12, then back to 14, and finally (on the day itself) to 15. I also kept providing more dietary requirements, and each email received a friendly response with every request taken into account. The hostess during the evening was very kind and accommodating as well. She suggested starting with drinks in the garden and then rearranging the tables inside so that we could all sit together at one long table. In short, it was a perfect place with delicious food and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

I celebrated my 50th birthday at Scheltema, and it was definitely a great choice. Everything was well taken care of from the very first contact. It’s a cozy place for a party, with good food and pleasant service. Initially, the celebration was planned only in the theater café, but when I wanted to have a live band, they easily expanded it to an additional space with a stage. Jeroen was helpful throughout the process, offering suggestions and taking care of arrangements with the band. In comparison to other venues, the price is also favorable. In conclusion: highly recommended!

The collaboration leading up to our symposium went smoothly in every aspect. From the first contact to the “big day,” communication was clear, and there was great efficiency. The tables with candles and flowers in the theater hall were a perfect touch: they created a cozy atmosphere that contributed to a pleasant and safe environment during the event. All the additional assistance on the actual day, such as helping with the technical aspects, providing an extra flip chart, last-minute raffle tickets, and even turning off a buzzing cooling system, were absolutely fantastic. Jeroen and colleagues truly took care of us and made sure we didn’t have to worry about anything 🙂
