Pauwkenshof

Set in a peaceful green pocket of Destelbergen, a short drive from Ghent, this charming venue specialises in memorable events paired with refined cuisine. Since 1992, the team has welcomed couples, families and companies to celebrate in a warm, personal setting where service and gastronomy go hand in hand.

Two versatile indoor spaces are available. The main banquet room seats up to 150 guests at round or long tables, ideal for wedding breakfasts, gala dinners and corporate banquets. A separate reception room suits standing receptions for up to 150 and intimate dinners from 25 guests. Outside, a romantic courtyard and a larger country garden allow al fresco ceremonies and sunlit gatherings, including standing garden receptions for sizeable groups. On-site parking makes arrivals simple for guests.

In-house catering is led by an experienced chef who favours a refined, French-classical approach. Menus range from plated multi-course dinners to lively walking dinners and luxury barbecues, complemented by thoughtful wine selections and elegant dessert buffets. For businesses, the venue also provides quality business-lunch catering delivered in convenient boxes for meetings from eight people upwards.

Event planners will find practical facilities ready to go, including sound system with wireless microphone, lectern, large screen, Wi-Fi and flipcharts, with optional extras and stylish marquees available on request. Whether you are planning a wedding, baby celebration, communion, anniversary, memorial gathering, seminar, meeting, teambuilding day or product launch, the dedicated host team helps tailor the layout, décor and flow so every guest feels like an honoured guest.
