for instance, for \"feel welcome\", a bit old fashioned perhaps (but I like to hear it):
\"Wees welgekomen\"

verwelkomen

Explanation:
'Welkom' is absolutely correct if you're dealing with a noun, if you want a translation of the verb, you would have to say 'verwelkomen'.
'Welcoming someone to a place' would then be 'Iemand ergens verwelkomen'.
