Try on wedding dresses at two unique locations

Picking out your wedding dress isn’t just another afternoon of shopping. It’s one of those moments in the run-up to your wedding that you’ll look back on often later on. So the place where you find your dress should be special, too.

At Koonings, you can try on wedding dresses at two completely different locations. Will you choose the impressive bridal world of Koonings Deurne , or can you already picture yourself trying on wedding dresses at Oost Castle in Valkenburg?

Koonings Deurne: a bridal world of its own

Koonings The Wedding Palace - Deurne

Koonings Deurne isn’t just any bridal shop. When you walk in here, you’re stepping into the world’s largest bridal boutique, with more than 4,500 wedding dresses in a variety of styles and sizes. You might even recognize the store: Koonings Deurne has been the setting for “Say Yes to the Dress Benelux” for nine seasons now.

During the fitting, you and your entourage will have your own private fitting room, screened off by a large theater curtain. Inside this room, your party will have its own seating area, and you, as the bride, can change in private. This way, you can combine the impressive atmosphere of the large bridal store with a space that’s entirely yours.

Koonings Valkenburg: Trying on Wedding Dresses in a Castle

Trying on a wedding dress in a real castle? You can do just that in Valkenburg. Koonings is located here in the historic Oost Castle, nestled in the rolling hills of South Limburg. The stylish rooms and unique surroundings instantly transform your search into a completely different experience.

In Valkenburg, you’ll have your very own fitting room with four walls, fully decorated in the castle’s style. The door closes, and the room is yours—for you, your entourage, and your personal stylist. The setting is more intimate and on a smaller scale than in Deurne, with the castle serving as a unique backdrop for your fitting.

Grand and impressive, or intimate and romantic?

Koonings started in Deurne, where the bridal shop grew over the years to become the largest bridal shop in the world and eventually served as the famous setting for *Say Yes to the Dress Benelux*. In Valkenburg , Koonings added another very special location: the historic Oost Castle. Since 2024, the castle has been owned by Ramona Koonings and is now home to the second Koonings location. Two places, each with its own history, character, and atmosphere.
