Nikolai Schouten

Co-founder

Nikolai is co-owner of OnDestination and works mainly behind the scenes. He ensures an evening feels right before anyone even steps inside: the right venue for the group, equipment that fits the space, and a script where nothing is left to chance. His standard is simple: a guest should never notice how much has been arranged.

On the blog, he writes about that work. About what a party actually costs, why a venue does or doesn't fit the number of guests, and the choices you make months in advance that no one will notice later.
