In the heart of innovative ventures and dream-weaving, there stood Rêve Bivouac – a brainchild of the visionary Harold van der Straten, generously supported by his partner in crime, his lovely wife. Inspired by the mesmerizing desert experience of Burning Man in Nevada, Harold envisioned transporting us all on a sensory escapade, if only for a dinner. Thus, Rêve Bivouac was born, a dream taking its first steps into reality.
Setting the scene: from dream to reality
Year one found us nestled in a cozy villa in Waterloo, where guests were invited to shed the mundane and immerse themselves in the extraordinary. Picture this: a sumptuous dinner under the embrace of Berber tents, guests seated on plush pillows, surrounded by an ambiance crafted with care, and serenaded by tunes spun by talented DJs. Rêve Bivouac became synonymous with escape, artful mise en scène, hospitality, culinary delights, and soul-stirring music.
Mighty oaks grow from little acorns
As the years danced by, Rêve Bivouac blossomed into a full-fledged summer camp, a complexity in harmony with its ambitions. The challenge lay in melding diverse experiences within the same space – a gourmet haven, finger food marvels, a lively bar, an inviting terrace, a boutique, and a medley of music wizards to set the night on fire. Not an easy feat.
The beginnings of a great collaboration
Enter our hero, Frédéric. In his previous role as a sponsor, he had always harbored a deep desire to see Rêve Bivouac thrive to its fullest. And so, the stars aligned, and a collaboration was born. Harold, with his enchanting creativity, met Frédéric, armed with his knack for simplification, structuring, and optimization.
From the very beginning, it was an electric synergy. Ideas sparked conversations that led to more ideas, birthing a cycle of innovation and growth. Together, with an incredible team, we delved deep into the intricacies of Rêve Bivouac, touching every facet of its existence.
