Our Story

I guess many of you wonder how on earth an Estonian girl and a British chap end up marrying in The Netherlands!? Well, let us tell you the story of how a Sunduk (Sun-duck for all the lovely English-speaking people) turns into a Wood.


Maria: Estonian, freshly finished her master’s degree in Sweden, finds herself a job in Goteborg at a company called Berendsen. 


Alex: British, finishing a long-term employment relationship with McLaren, landing a great career jump in London at a company called Berendsen. 


Little did these two know that they will be falling in love a few months later on a work trip to Kivioli in Estonia. Unfortunately, relationships between employees were not allowed and the relationship had to be put on pause. Fast-forward a few contactless-months, Alex lands an amazing job opportunity in Amsterdam and there is hope for the two again! 


In 2018, Alex & Maria decide to move to Amsterdam together and give their relationship a real chance. If you believe in faith, then you would say that these two were meant to find each other across the ocean and spend the rest of their lives together! This is at least what we would like to believe.


Adults Only

While we love your little ones, we have decided to have our wedding be an adult-only occasion ❤️ We hope you are still able to share our big day with us!

Wedding Gifts

Honestly, no gifts are needed and we mean it! The best gift would be if you all come and celebrate this wonderful occasion with us! If you are the insistent type then money towards our honeymoon would be appreciated. Bank details:

Venue & Accommodation

Hotel Winselerhof (www.winselerhof.nl)

Tunnelweg 99

6372 XH Landgraaf

The Netherlands

First of all, let us tell you why we picked this venue and why this is so important to us. After moving to The Netherlands in 2018 we decided to take our first romantic trip together and Alex found this amazing 16th century traditional farmhouse surrounded by vineyards in the South of Holland. The weekend there was amazing and we had the best time together. Surprisingly, there was a wedding happening during our stay, keep in mind we had just been together less than a year, we told each other “If we ever get married then we're doing it here".


We would love you to stay at the Winselerhof hotel with us, so we could all take the most of this memorable event and share some fun/embarrassing stories at the breakfast on Sunday morning. We have reserved all 49 rooms for our guests, worked magic with our negotiating skills and contributed to each hotel room + covering breakfast costs. You can book your rooms by emailing Mara at m.boi@winselerhof.nl and letting her know that you are booking for Maria & Alex’s wedding. Please also specify which room and days are you booking.


All the rooms and prices are fixed until the 1st of March!
