With over 60 exhibitors as well as inspiring catwalk shows, the twoday Salon du mariage de Liège is a perfect opportunity to start planning all aspects of your celebration, from the flowers to the cake and that all important dress.

A river cruise for your special day TEXT: BETTINA GUIRKINGER | PHOTOS: DINANT EVASION
Specialised in fluvial tourism and excursions in the Lesse valley, Dinant Evasion is a partner of choice when it comes to organising your wedding day while cruising on the Meuse. An unforgettable experience for an unforgettable day. What better way to celebrate the union of two people in love than being on a boat cruising down a river surrounded by friends and family? Proud to be part of a unique celebration, the team at Dinant Evasion assists newlyweds in planning their special day – from menu creation to organising fun activities, but also dec-
orations, music, itineraries and pick-up points. “Our ambition is to personalise the day to the needs of our clients according to their budget and, in that sense, we give them the options to take care of as much or as little as they wish or leave it to the care of our professional and attentive staff,” says event manager Caroline Lennaertz. Building on three generations of knowledge and experience, the Dinant Evasion family enterprise added event-based cruising to their range of activities with the acquisition of the splendidly refurbished luxury boat Le SAX. Fitting up to 180 people for dinner or 250 people for a standing cocktail, weddings can be organised all year round and adapted to fit the customer’s wishes and ensure a truly memorable day. On top of weddings, Dinant Evasion also offers the possibility to organise corporate events including seminar cruises, birthdays, barbecues and much more. www.dinant-evasion.be Issue 35 | November 2016 | 63
