Venue
The venue address is: Zaalverhuur7 Boothstraat 7 3512 BT Utrecht, the Netherlands.
‘Zaalverhuur7’ is an inspiring location right in the heart of the city, in an authentic church building from 1900 with rooms for small as well as large groups. The rooms have a modern design with just a hint of nostalgia. The homely and warm appearance creates a relaxed atmosphere. By making use of an old church in a sustainable way they want to make a valuable contribution to society. They work with local and global suppliers who have a lot of love for their product.
