Noam and his young, talented band, including Emma on vocals, made our party fun and fabulous from start to finish. People who don't normally dance just couldn't stop themselves! Great choice of tunes and loads of energy. Am so grateful and …

Meet Benga.
Benga is a party band from Amsterdam, founded in 2022, with a fixed and carefully chosen group of musicians.
We don't work with a rotating pool. Out of the many musicians we know, we picked a small group that delivers the same level every night.
Our musicians come from Mexico, Croatia, Serbia, Chile, Cuba, Israel and the Netherlands, and all live in Amsterdam. You hear that mix in every show.
We play 80+ events a year: weddings, corporate events and private parties in the Netherlands and abroad, from France, Germany and Belgium to Spain, the UK and the Maldives.

Booking and price
Our wedding performances start from 3,000 EUR. For that you get the highest level of live musical performance in the country, built around your wedding.
Everything you need for the live show: full sound and lighting, our own AV team, and the musical preparation. We curate the music with you and build a tailor-made performance for your night.
Ideally 6 to 12 months ahead. Under 6 months we are usually already booked, so if your date is close, send it through today and we will tell you straight away.
We start with an introduction call to go through all the details. Once you are happy and have chosen the band line-up, we reserve the date with a 40 percent deposit.
We talk about it in good faith and do our best to play the new date. If we cannot make it and you let us know in good time, we refund the deposit.
We play all week long and our prices are the same across the year. Dates go first come, first served.
Music
Once you fill in the form we send you a link with our full repertoire list and a few example setlists from real weddings.
Of course. We tailor the performance for every couple we play for, so your favourites go in and the rest stays out.
Then we do not play it. If there is a song or an artist you do not want to hear, tell us and it is off the list.
We sing in Dutch and English, and some songs in Spanish.
We do surprise acts with guests all the time. If you have an idea, share it with us and we will make it happen.
Yes. We can play a more relaxed set during the reception and dinner, and bring the energy later in the evening.
The evening
Usually 2 to 3 sets of 45 minutes, with breaks of 15 to 20 minutes in between.
Yes. During the breaks we keep the music going from our own sound system, or through our DJ if you booked one.
Usually 4 by 4 or 4 by 5 metres is enough for the full band.
The band is flexible and performs in many kinds of rooms. It is worth checking with your venue whether live bands have played there before, then we know what to expect.
We play outdoors and our gear is built to cover 500 or more guests. We agree on a covered spot or an indoor backup with you and the venue beforehand.
We always prefer to use our own sound system. It is very good, very expensive, and we know it inside out. That is how the band sounds the way you heard it in the videos.
The band usually finishes between 23:00 and 00:00, with the option to extend the party with our DJ and live drums for the after party.
The band
We work with a closed line-up of the best musicians in the country. Every musician goes through auditions. Out of 100 singers who audition for the band, we work with 3 today.
We have a strong pool of musicians at the highest level in the country, all international artists based around Amsterdam, so the show goes on at the same level.
Easily. We integrate with your DJ or master of ceremonies and coordinate the timeline together.
Practical
We travel across the Netherlands and abroad. Fill in the form with your location and we get back to you fast with an estimate.
Only power, a changing room and dinner for the crew. Parking on site is always welcome.
Yes, the band is insured.
We can always schedule a live video call. Ask us if there is a show coming up where you can see the band play.
Yes. You receive a contract and an invoice for every booking.
We guide you through the process step by step. Together with our musical director we build a complete custom performance for your wedding.

Hi, I'm Noam, the bandleader of Benga.
No agency, no middleman. Your message lands directly with me. I plan, brief the musicians and make sure everything on your day is right.
A wedding or an event isn't just a gig, it's your story. That's why we want to know it in detail before we play the first note.
