In the world of corporate events and incentives originality
is gold. For one of our clients we organized an impressive “Midyear Meeting” in
Rotterdam, welcoming 370 employees from all over Europe, with daytime workshops
followed by a memorable evening party. That party was held in the Laurenskerk,
and believe us: the setting lived up to its name. Below you’ll read why we
chose this unique location: atmosphere, heritage and a wow factor you won’t
soon forget.
A venue with heritage and character
The Laurenskerk, dating back to the 15th century, is not only part of Rotterdam’s history, it is also a unique event venue with character. Its impressive architecture, Gothic details and central location make this site a striking setting for any event. A venue that impresses from the very first moment, ideal for meetings, dinners and unforgettable evening celebrations.
From pew to dance floor: flexibility and grandeur
What makes the Laurenskerk especially interesting for corporate events is its incredible flexibility. With 2,500 m² of floor space and capacity up to 2,000 guests, the church can easily be transformed into a congress or party venue.
Imagine long banquet tables under Gothic arches, a cocktail or walking dinner under the historic organ loft, theatrical or fashion shows, live music or DJs. Anything is possible.
Its location is a major plus as well: right in the heart of Rotterdam, within walking distance of the metro and parking. Easy to reach for both national and international guests.
Why the Laurenskerk was the perfect match for this Midyear Meeting
When we looked for a venue that would leave an impact, the Laurenskerk immediately felt like the right choice. Historic grandeur, central location and space for hundreds of people. The ideal mix.
The combination of daytime workshops and a dazzling party in the evening delivered exactly what we aim for: from one highlight to the next. The church was transformed into a party temple, a real landmark setting where colleagues come together, create memories and unwind after an intense day.
That spirit of “we do this together” is what incentive and event travel is all about. The Laurenskerk helped us make that spirit tangible.
