Real weddings, real stories.

We had a fantastic evening with Benga! They are all hugely talented musicians and together they deliver an unforgettable party. The timing of the songs and the energy towards our guests were perfect, so charming and captivating.

A party that moves with the night

Many couples share the same fear: the party starts around 8pm, but by 10pm it feels like everything has already happened and people start drifting away. That's why we don't treat a wedding as one long peak. We read the dance floor, build the energy step by step and keep the party surprising, until nobody wants to leave.

  • 01Personal setlists, no stock playlists. Your music, your taste, perfectly tuned to your guests.
  • 02Full production, sound, lighting and technical setup completely handled.
  • 03A dance floor that doesn't empty out. Period.
  • 04A party that moves with the night, we build the energy step by step.

For the lead-up.

  • 01Direct contact with Noam, the bandleader. No agency, no middleman.
  • 02Trusted by couples across the Netherlands, 80+ events a year.
  • 03For every moment: acoustic during the ceremony, jazz trio over dinner, party band after dessert.
  • 04An international line-up with stage experience at festivals across Europe.

Our take

Why the band makes or breaks your party.

We can agree on one thing: music makes or breaks a wedding.

Choosing the right band is harder than it looks. There are hundreds of options and almost every act calls itself professional, so what's the real difference?

In music, professional goes beyond technique. The difference is experience, stage feel and consistency. Benga Band works only with carefully selected, internationally active musicians who regularly perform on major stages, in clubs and at festivals across Europe.

What this means for your wedding:

  • A live band as the heart of the party, with setlists that build through the night.
  • Optional DJ add-ons, from experienced festival DJs to a unique DJ show with live (electronic) drums.
  • Professional sound and lighting, tuned to the venue.
  • A dedicated AV team on site, handling all the tech.
  • Festival-level musicians, the same quality you'd expect on a major stage, at your wedding.

One seamless party: relaxed for you, impressive for your guests.

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 …

Frequently asked

Everything you want to know.

  • 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.
